Answer:

The company found the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

Explanation:

Solar energy can be used as an alternative source of supply for fuel. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy, that is it keeps on replenishing every day. Also solar energy does not require a lot of maintenance.

The cost required is starting a solar system is very high because one needs to buy solar panel, photovoltaic cells for batteries, inverters and so on.

From the question, the company decided against solar energy for the time being. This means that probably in the future they might consider it. Therefore it is as a result of the economic situation of the company that they have not set up a solar system because the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

62990.08 N/M

Explanation:

Circumferential stress, or hoop stress, a normal stress in the tangential (azimuth) direction. axial stress, a normal stress parallel to the axis of cylindrical symmetry. radial stress, a stress in directions coplanar with but perpendicular to the symmetry axis.

A stationary gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A) W' = 15680 KW

B) W' = 17113.87 KW

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature at state 1; T1 = 290 K

Temperature at state 3; T3 = 1100 K

Rate of heat transfer; Q_in = 35000 kJ/s = 35000 Kw

Pressure of air into compressor; P_c = 95 kPa

Pressure of air into turbine; P_t = 760 kPa

A) The power assuming constant specific heats at room temperature is gotten from;

W' = [1 - ((T4 - T1)/(T3 - T2))] × Q_in

Now, we don't have T4 and T2 but they can be gotten from;

T4 = [T3 × (r_p)^((1 - k)/k)]

T2 = [T1 × (r_p)^((k - 1)/k)]

r_p = P_t/P_c

r_p = 760/95

r_p = 8

Also,k which is specific heat capacity of air has a constant value of 1.4

Thus;

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

T4 = [(1100 × (8^((1 - 1.4)/1.4)]

T4 = 607.25 K

T2 = [290 × (8^((1.4 - 1)/1.4)]

T2 = 525.32 K

Thus;

W' = [1 - ((607.25 - 290)/(1100 - 525.32))] × 35000

W' = 0.448 × 35000

W' = 15680 KW

B) The power accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature is given by;

W' = [1 - ((h4 - h1)/(h3 - h2))] × Q_in

From the table attached, we have the following;

At temperature of 607.25 K and by interpolation; h4 = 614.64 KJ/K

At T3 = 1100 K, h3 = 1161.07 KJ/K

At T1 = 290 K, h1 = 290.16 KJ/K

At T2 = 525.32 K, and by interpolation, h2 = 526.12 KJ/K

Thus;

W' = [1 - ((614.64 - 290.16)/(1161.07 - 526.12))] × 35000

W' = 17113.87 KW

What is clearance? What is backlash? What is interference? Explain briefly.
Anton [14]

Explanation:

Clearance:

For easy matching  and dis matching  of  hole and  shaft we use size of hole little bit more than the size of shaft and this difference in size is called clearance.

Backlash:

  It is the clearance between the two mating gear to avoids failure of gears.Actually when temperature of gears increases then at the same time the size of gear also increases ,due this there is a possibility foe jamming of gears so to avoids this backlash is provides.

Interference:

  When two gears are matting then addendum of one gear inters into the deddendum of another gear and due to this gears get jam .This phenomenon is called interference.
