How Does A Shoe Box Solar Cooker Work?

Engineering

1 answer:

Natalija [7]3 years ago

Answer:

the sun gives off light while at the same time gives off heat. the shoe box cooker takes that heat and light and reflects it around the shoe box. then the heat settles down into whatever is in the shoe box. the heat after being reflected around the shoe box is magnified by the foil wrapped in the box thus allowing the food or drink to be heated. the foil is a conductor of heat because it is metal .

The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numenator. If 4 is added to the numenator and 7 is added to the denominator, th

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{7}$

Explanation:

Lets take the numerator of the fraction to be = x

So the denominator of the fraction is 4 more than the numerator = x+4

The fraction is ; $\frac{x}{4+x}$

Now add 4 to the numerator and add 7 to the denominator as;

$\frac{x+4}{4+x+7} =\frac{x+4}{x+11}$

This new fraction is equal to 1 half =1/2

write the equation as;

$\frac{x+4}{x+11} =\frac{1}{2}$

perform cross-product

2(x+4 )=1( x+11 )

2x+8 = x + 11

2x-x = 11-8

x=3

The original fraction is;

$\frac{x}{4+x} =\frac{3}{3+4} =\frac{3}{7}$

The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine-generator at a locati

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a) 0.76

b) 0.80

c) 1964 kW

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

$\dot m = 5000 kg/s$

Assume Mechanical energy at exist is negligible

A) Take lake bottom as reference, and then kinetic and potential energy are taken as zero.

change in mechanical energy is givrn as

$e_{in} - e_{out} = \frac{P}{\rho} - 0 = gh = 9.81 \times 50( \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}$

= 0.491 kJ/kg

$\Delta \dot E_{mec} = \dot m (e_{in} - e_{out}) = 5000 \times 0.491 = 2455 kW$

$\eta_{OVERALL} = \frac{\dot W}{\Delta \dot E_{mec}} = \frac{1862}{2455} = 0.76$

B) $\eta -{gen} = \frac{\eta_{overall}}{\eta_{gen}} = \frac{0.76}{0.95} = 0.80$

c) $\dot W_{shaft} = \eta_{overall} \left | \Delta \dot E_{mec} \right | = 0.80(2455)$

$\dot W_{shaft} = 1964 kW$

As the driver of the red SUV, what are your options for navigating this roundabout?

IgorC [24]

Your options for navigating this roundabout would include driving in a counter-clockwise direction and then making your exit to the right lane.

<h3>What is a roundabout? </h3>

A roundabout is a circular intersection that make junctions or intersections of roads safer, because it is designed and developed to physically direct drivers and pedestrians to move in a counter-clockwise direction.

In this scenario, your options for navigating this roundabout as the driver of the red SUV would include driving in a counter-clockwise direction and then making your exit to the right lane.

The fins attached to a surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do the rate of heat transfer from the surface dec

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.

Explanation:

Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins. Its value is expected to be greater than 1.

Having effectiveness value of 0.9 which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).
