Solar engineers work in any number of areas of engineering products that help harness energy from the sun. They may research, design, and develop new products, or they may work in testing, production, or maintenance. They may collect and manage data to help design solar systems.
Answer:
design
Explanation:
Design is a process used to solve problems systematically.
Human beings have specific needs and desires, which require a design process to interpret those needs and make them real from a product or service.
Design uses specific methods and techniques integrating ideals, creativity, technology and innovation to satisfy users' needs and solve problems.
Answer:
a. 164 °F b. 91.11 °C c. 1439.54 kJ
Explanation:
a. [1 pts] How many degrees Fahrenheit (°F) must you raise the temperature?
Since the starting temperature is 48°F and the final temperature which water boils is 212°F, the number of degrees Fahrenheit we would need to raise the temperature is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.
So, Δ°F = 212 °F - 48 °F = 164 °F
b. [2 pts] How many degrees Celsius (°C) must you raise the temperature?
To find the degree change in Celsius, we convert the initial and final temperature to Celsius.
°C = 5(°F - 32)/9
So, 48 °F in Celsius is
°C₁ = 5(48 - 32)/9
°C₁ = 5(16)/9
°C₁ = 80/9
°C₁ = 8.89 °C
Also, 212 °F in Celsius is
°C₂ = 5(212 - 32)/9
°C₂ = 5(180)/9
°C₂ = 5(20)
°C₂ = 100 °C
So, the number of degrees in Celsius you must raise the temperature is the temperature difference between the final and initial temperatures in Celsius.
So, Δ°C = °C₂ - °C₁ = 100 °C - 8.89 °C = 91.11 °C
c. [2 pts] How much energy is required to heat the four quarts of water from
48°F to 212°F (boiling)?
Since we require 15.8 kJ for every degree Celsius of temperature increase of the four quarts of water, that is 15.8 kJ/°C and it rises by 91.11 °C, then the amount of energy Q required is Q = amount of heat per temperature rise × temperature rise = 15.8 kJ/°C × 91.11 °C = 1439.54 kJ
