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.

What is the activation energy (Q) for a vacancy formation if 10 moles of a metal have 2.3 X 10^13 vacancies at 425°C?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$Activation\ Energy=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Explanation:

Using the expression shown below as:

$N_v=N\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{k\times T}$

Where,

$N_v$ is the number of vacancies

N is the number of defective sites

k is Boltzmann's constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K$

${Q_v}$ is the activation energy

T is the temperature

Given that:

$N_v=2.3\times 10^{13}$

N = 10 moles

1 mole = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

So,

N = $10\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=6.023\times 10^{24}$

Temperature = 425°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (425 + 273.15) K = 698.15 K

T = 698.15 K

Applying the values as:

$2.3\times 10^{13}=6.023\times 10^{24}\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}$

$ln[\frac {2.3}{6.023}\times 10^{-11}]=-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}$

$Q_v=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part ( the required fig and table )

answer : The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

Explanation:

Given data :

Rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation = 0.3 kW/m^2

percentage of solar power absorbed by refrigerant = 60%

Determine the solar collector surface area

The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

attached below is a detailed solution of the problem

Answer the following either true (T) or false (F) (5 pts)

likoan [24]

Answer:

1. True

2. True

3. False

Explanation:

The office location is where the soil layer is not uniform. The thickness of the soil varies which could lead to doors being jammed. The engineer needs to estimate the differential in clay soil.

The inclined surface can hold less weight than a vertical surface. The capacity to hold the weight is due to the gravitational force which is exerted to the load.
