How is the energy harnessed and converted into useful energy?

Engineering
1 answer:
garri49 [273]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1. How energy is harnessed?  

Another way to tap solar energy is by collecting the sun's heat. Solar thermal power plants use heat from the sun to create steam, which can then be used to make electricity. On a smaller scale, solar panels that harness thermal energy can be used for heating water in homes, other buildings, and swimming pools.

2. How is solar energy converted into useful energy?

Solar panels convert the sun's light into usable solar energy using N-type and P-type semiconductor material. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity.

A(n) is a detailed, structured diagram or drawing.
monitta

Answer:

Schematics

Explanation:

A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.

It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.

Explain the process of energy conversion by describing how energy was converted from the windmill design brief. Discuss the diff
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Wind energy is converted to Mechanical energy  which is then converted in to  electrical energy

Explanation:

In a wind mill the following energy conversions take place

a) Wind energy is converted into Mechanical energy (rotation of rotor blades)

b) Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy (by using electric motor)

This electrical energy is then used for transmission through electric lines.

When a retaining structure moves towards the soil backfill, the stress condition is called:__________.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

(C) passive state.

Explanation:

The earth pressure is the pressure exerted by the soil on the shoring system. They are three types of earth pressure which are:

a) Rest state: In this state, the retaining wall is stationary, this makes the lateral stress to be zero.

b) Active state: In this state, the wall moves away from the back fill, this leads to an internal resistance. Hence the active earth pressure is less than earth pressure at rest

c) Passive state: In this state the wall is pushed towards the back fill, this leads to shearing resistance. Hence, the passive earth pressure is greater than earth pressure at rest

What does a peak flow meter allow you to assess?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

  peak flow and any engineering considerations related thereto

Explanation:

It should be no surprise that a peak flow meter will report peak flow, sometimes with important maximum-value, time-constant, or bandwidth limitations. There are many engineering issues related to flow rates. A peak flow meter can allow you to assess those issues with respect to the flows actually encountered.

Peak flow can allow you to assess adequacy of flow and whether there may be blockages or impediments to flow that reduce peak levels below expected values. An appropriate peak flow meter can help you assess the length of time that peak flow can be maintained, and whether that delivers sufficient volume.

It can also allow you to assess whether appropriate accommodation is made for unexpectedly high flow rates. (Are buffers or overflow tanks of sufficient size? Is there adequate protection against possible erosion? Is there adequate support where flow changes direction?)
