Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The thermal energy concentrated in a CSP plant can be stored and used to produce electricity when it is needed, day or night. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MWac) of CSP plants are in operation in the United States.
Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough systems use curved mirrors to focus the sun’s energy onto a receiver tube that runs down the center of a trough. In the receiver tube, a high-temperature heat transfer fluid (such as a synthetic oil) absorbs the sun’s energy, reaching temperatures of 750°F or higher, and passes through a heat exchanger to heat water and produce steam. The steam drives a conventional steam turbine power system to generate electricity. A typical solar collector field contains hundreds of parallel rows of troughs connected as a series of loops, which are placed on a north-south axis so the troughs can track the sun from east to west. Individual collector modules are typically 15-20 feet tall and 300-450 feet long.
Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
CLFR uses the principles of curved-mirror trough systems, but with long parallel rows of lower-cost flat mirrors. These modular reflectors focus the sun's energy onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water, generating high-pressure steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications.
The effect would be the altitude of the air, the higher you go up the closer you are to space we’re there’s no oxygen and everything moves slow so when your trying to fly across the world it could feel like your moving slower
Answer:
DIAMETER = 9.797 m
POWER =
Explanation:
Given data:
circular windmill diamter D1 = 8m
v1 = 12 m/s
wind speed = 8 m/s
we know that specific volume is given as
where v is specific volume of air
considering air pressure is 100 kPa and temperature 20 degree celcius
v = 0.8409 m^3/ kg
from continuity equation
mass flow rate is given as
the power produced
Answer:
// Program is written in C++ Programming Language
// Comments are used for explanatory purpose
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
// Variable declaration
string name;
int numQuestions;
int numCorrect;
double percentage;
//Prompt to enter student's first and last name
cout<<"Enter student's first and last name";
cin>>name; // this line accepts input for variable name
cout<<"Number of question on test"; //Prompt to enter number of questions on test
cin>> numQuestions; //This line accepts Input for Variable numQuestions
cout<<"Number of answers student got correct: "; // Prompt to enter number of correct answers
cin>>numCorrect; //Enter number of correct answers
percentage = numCorrect * 100 / numQuestions; // calculate percentage
cout<<name<<" "<<percentage<<"%"; // print
return 0;
}
Explanation:
The code above calculates the percentage of a student's score in a certain test.
The code is extracted from the Question and completed after extraction.
It's written in C++ programming language
