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.

Consider a sinusoidal oscillator consisting of an amplifier having a frequency-independent gain A (where A is positive) and a se
mafiozo [28]

Sinusoidal oscillator frequency of oscillation is given below.

Explanation:

The criterion for a stable oscillator is given in the equation

l A(jw)β(jw) l ≥ 1

In this task A represents the gain of the amplifier , and

β represents gain/attenuation of the second-order bandpass filter.

This sinusoidal oscillation is a special edge case where the product is equal to one.

So the condition is A-K=1

to obtain the sustained oscillations at the desired frequency of oscillations, the product of the voltage gain A and the feedback gain β must be one or greater than one. In this case, the amplifier gain A must be 3. Hence, to satisfy the product condition, feedback gain β must be 1/3.

When the outside temperature is 5.2 ⁰C, a steel beam of cross-sectional area 52 cm2 is installed in a building with the ends of
il63 [147K]

Multiply the coefficient by the change in temperature:

1.1*10^-5 x (37-5.2) = 0.0003498

Multiply Young's modulus by the area by the above answer:

2*10^11 x 52 * 0.0003498 x (1/100)^2 = 3.63792 x 10^5 N

A composite shaft with length L = 46 in is made by fitting an aluminum sleeve (Ga = 5 x 10^3 ksi) over a
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

L = 46 in

Ga = 5 × 10³ ksi

Gs = 11 × 10³ ksi

Outside diameter da = 5 in

ds = 4 in

Tb = 3 kip.in

Now,

Ja = polar moment of Inertia of Aluminum;

Ja ⇒ π/32( 5⁴ - 4⁴ ) = π/32( 625 - 256 ) = π/32( 369 ) in^u

Js = polar moment of inertia of steel

Js ⇒ π/32 ds⁴ = π/32( 4⁴ ) = π/32( 256 )

Ta is torque transmitted by Aluminum  

Ts is torque transmitted by steel  

{composite member }

T = Ta + Ts ------ let this be equation m1

Now, we use the relation;

T/J = G∅/L

JG∅ = TL

∅ = TL/GJ

so, for aluminum rod ∅_{alu = TaLa/GaJa

for steel rod ∅_{steel = TsLs/GsJs

but we know that, ∅a = ∅s = ∅_B

so

[TaLa/GaJa]  =  [TsLs/GsJs]

also, we know that, La = Ls = L

∴ [Ta/GaJa]  =  [Ts/GsJs]

we solve for Ta

TaGsJs = TsGaJa  

Ta = TsGaJa / GsJs

we substitute

Ta = [Ts(5 × 10³)( π/32( 369) )] / [ (11 × 10³)( π/32( 256 ) ) ]

Ta = 0.66Ts

now, we substitute 0.66Ts for Ta and 3 for T in equation 1

T = Ta + Ts

3 = 0.66Ts + Ts

3 = 1.66Ts

Ts = 3 / 1.66

Ts = 1.8072 ≈ 1.81 kip-in

so

∅_{steel = TsLs / GsJs

we substitute

∅_{steel = (1.81 × 46 ) / ( 11 × 10³ × π/32( 256 ) )

∅_{steel = 83.26 / 276460.1535

∅_{steel  = 0.000301

∅_{steel = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

so

∅_{steel = ∅_B = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

Therefore, the magnitude of the angle of twist at end B is 3.01 × 10⁻⁴  rad

g A thin-walled pressure vessel 6-cm thick originally contained a small semicircular flaw (radius 0.50-cm) located at the inner
galben [10]

This question is not complete, the complete question is;

A thin-walled pressure vessel 6-cm thick originally contained a small semicircular flaw (radius 0.50-cm) located at the inner surface and oriented normal to the hoop stress direction. Repeated pressure cycling enabled the crack to grow larger. If the fracture toughness of the material is 88 Mpam^\frac{1}{2} , the yield strength equal to 1250 MPa, and the hoop stress equal to 300 MPa, would the vessel leak before it ruptured

Answer:

length of crack is 5.585 cm

we will observe that, the length of crack (5.585 cm) is less than the vessel thickness (6 cm) Hence, vessel will not leak before it ruptures

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

vessel thickness = 6 cm

fracture toughness k = 88 Mpam^\frac{1}{2}

yield strength = 1250 MPa

hoop stress equal = 300 MPa

we know that, the relation between fracture toughness and crack length is expressed as;

k = (1.1)(2/π)(r√(πa))  

where k is the fracture toughness, r is hoop stress and a is length of crack

so we rearrange to find  length of crack

a = 1/π[( k / 1.1(r)(2/π)]²

a = 1/π[( kπ / 1.1(r)(2)]²

so we substitute  

a = 1/π [( 88π / 1.1(300)(2/π)]²    

a = 1/π[ 0.1754596 ]

a = 0.05585 m

a = 0.05585 × 100 cm

a = 5.585 cm  

so, length of crack is 5.585 cm

we will observe that, the length of crack (5.585 cm) is less than the vessel thickness (6 cm) Hence, vessel will not leak before it ruptures
