Solar energy stored in large bodies of water, called solar ponds, is being used to generate electricity. If such a solar power p

lant has an efficiency of 4.5 percent and a net power output of 150 kW, determine the average value of the required solar energy collection rate, in Btu/h.

Answer: 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Explanation:

Given data:

Efficiency of the plant = 4.5percent

Net power output of the plant = 150kw

Solution:

The required collection rate

QH = W/n

= 150/0.045 * 0.94782/ 1 /60 */60 Btu/h.

= 3333.333 *3412.152Btu/h.

= 11373840 Btu/h

= 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

If something is 50fficient, how many joules of wasted energy will there be if 750j of energy is put in?’
Sedbober [7]

Efficiency is the minimum use of energy to accomplish the task. The wasted energy will be 375 J when 750 J of energy is given.

<h3>What is wasted energy?</h3>

Wasted energy is energy that is not useful when the transformation in the system occurs.

Total energy = 750 J

The efficiency of the system = 50 %

Output work (OW) is calculated as:

Efficiency = output work ÷ input work × 100%

750 × 50 = 100 OW

OW = 375 J

Wasted energy = Total energy - output work

= 750 - 375

= 375 J

Therefore, the machine is 50 % inefficient and has wasted energy of 375 J.

A Geostationary satellite has an 8kW RF transmission pointed at the earth. How much force does that induce on the spacecraft? (N
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The force induced on the aircraft is 2.60 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Power transmitted, P_{t} = 8 kW = 8000 W

Now, the force, F is given by:

P_{t} = Force(F)\times velocity(v) = Fv               (1)

where

v = velocity

Now,

For a geo-stationary satellite, the centripetal force, F_{c} is provided by the gravitational force, F_{G}:

F_{c} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \frac{GM_{e}m{R^{2}}

Thus from the above, velocity comes out to be:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{R}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.979\times 10^{24}}{42166\times 10^{3}}} = 3075.36 m/ s

where

R = R_{e} + H

R = \sqrt{GM_{e}(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}}

where

G = Gravitational constant

T = Time period of rotation of Earth

R is calculated as 42166 km

Now, from eqn (1):

8000 = F\times 3075.36

F = 2.60 N
