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.

Assume a function requires 20 lines of machine code and will be called 10 times in the main program. You can choose to implement
Volgvan

Answer:

"Macro Instruction"

Explanation:

A macro definition is a rule or pattern that specifies how a certain input sequence should be mapped to a replacement output sequence according to a defined procedure. The mapping process that instantiates a macro use into a specific sequence is known as macro expansion.

It is a series of commands and actions that can be stored and run whenever you need to perform the task. You can record or build a macro and then run it to automatically repeat that series of steps or actions.

Water at 200C flows through a pipe of 10 mm diameter pipe at 1 m/s. Is the flow Turbulent ? a. Yes b. No
Degger [83]

Answer:

Yes, the flow is turbulent.

Explanation:

Reynolds number gives the nature of flow. If he Reynolds number is less than 2000 then the flow is laminar else turbulent.

Given:

Diameter of pipe is 10mm.

Velocity of the pipe is 1m/s.

Temperature of water is 200°C.

The kinematic viscosity at temperature 200°C is 1.557\times10^{-7}m2/s.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for Reynolds number is given as follows:

Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}

Here, v is velocity, \nu is kinematic viscosity, d is diameter and Re is Reynolds number.

Substitute the values in the above equation as follows:

Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}

Re=\frac{1\times(10mm)(\frac{1m}{1000mm})}{1.557\times10^{-7}}

Re=64226.07579

Thus, the Reynolds number is 64226.07579. This is greater than 2000.

Hence, the given flow is turbulent flow.

. The flexure strength test was performed on a concrete beam having a cross section of 0.15m by 0.15m and a span of 0.45m. If th
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

σ =5.39Mpa

Explanation:

step one:

The flexure strength is defined as the tendency with which unreinforced concrete yield to bending forces

Flexural strength test Flexural strength is calculated using the equation:

σ = FL/ (bd^2 )----------1

Where

σ = Flexural strength of concrete in Mpa

F= Failure load (in N).

L= Effective span of the beam

b= Breadth of the beam

step two:

Given data

F=40.45 kN= 40450N

b=0.15m

d=0.15m

L=0.45m

step three:

substituting into the expression we have

σ = 40450*0.45/ (0.15*0.15^2 )

σ =18202.5/ (0.15*0.15^2 )

σ =18202.5/ (0.15*0.0225 )

σ =18202.5/0.003375

σ =5393333.3

σ =5393333.3/1000000

σ =5.39Mpa

Therefore the flexure strength of the concrete is 5.39Mpa

A steam turbine in a power plant receives 5 kg/s steam at 3000 kPa, 500°C. Twenty percent of the flow is extracted at 1000 kPa t
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The temperature of the first exit (feed to water heater) is at 330.15ºC. The second exit (exit of the turbine) is at 141ºC. The turbine Power output (if efficiency is %100) is 3165.46 KW

Explanation:

If we are talking of a steam turbine, the work done by the steam is done in an adiabatic process. To determine the temperature of the 2 exits, we have to find at which temperature of the steam with 1000KPa and 200KPa we have the same entropy of the steam entrance.

In this case for steam at 3000 kPa, 500°C, s= 7.2345Kj/kg K. i=3456.18 KJ/Kg

For steam at 1000 kPa and s= 7.2345Kj/kg K → T= 330.15ºC i=3116.48KJ/Kg

For steam at 200 kPa and s= 7.2345Kj/kg K → T= 141ºC i=2749.74KJ/Kg

For the power output, we have to multiply the steam flow with the enthalpic jump.

The addition of the 2 jumps is the total power output.
