Consider the cylindrical receiver in a solar thermal power plant shown below. The receiver is made of opaque material and has a diameter D = 8m and length L = 14m. At a particular time‚ the heliostats direct a concentrated solar flux of q”S = 80 kW/m2 onto the receiver. The ambient air has a temperature T( = 300K and there is no wind. Under these conditions‚ the surface of the receiver has a temperature of Ts = 700K‚ an emissivity of ( = 0.3 and a solar absorptivity (S = 0.8. i) Calculate

PLANET 9 MAY HAVE SOME EVIL TENDENCIES According to a University of Louisiana astrophysics professor‚ Planet 9 and it’s unusual orbit may have been the cause of past extinctions. Professor Daniel Whitmire claims the ice planet will turn evil by hurling space rocks towards Earth. It’s 20‚000-year solar orbit will eventually

Saturn is the sixth farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system and is the second-largest planet in the solar system. Saturn is greatly known for its rings. Saturn has lots of rings‚ the exact number is not known. It has four main groups and three smaller groups of rings (Cool Cosmos). There are also many gaps between Saturn’s rings. The most famous ring gap is called the Cassini Division‚ which separate the A and B groups of rings. The origin of the rings is still unknown‚ but scientists believe

First Solar Turns Sunshine into Profits Case Summary: First Solar was founded in 1999 from the Walton family. According to the Marketing Sun Power‚ First Solar’s mission is “to create enduring value by enabling a world powered by clean‚ affordable solar electricity.” (p. 90) The company manufactures solar modules‚ which have razor-thin cadmium telluride. They are manufactured this way because it can still produce electricity even when clouds are blocking the sun. With this product First Solar

The Sun (Star of the Family) Planet word comes from Greek ‚which means „wandering star“. Sun is the heaviest among Solar System. If we take total mass of whole Solar System‚ the Sun would be 99.86% of the total. Sun is a ball of hot‚burning gases. Sun is the nearest star to the Earth. Sun is the source of all energy for life on Earth. On the Sun’s surface‚ there are dark patches known as sunspots. These are patches of gas that looks dark since they are cooler than their surroundings. The light

The only planetary system that is known to man is our solar system. It is made up of nine planets. The nine major planets in our solar system are Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune and Pluto. There are also many other minor planets‚ which are also in our solar system‚ but they are unimportant compared to the nine major planets. Mercury‚ which is the planet that is closest to the sun‚ is the first and smallest of the inner planets. It is speculated that the heat from

Solar power energy works like this‚ “When sunlight hits a solar panel‚ it makes electrons in the silicon move around. (Electrons are teeny tiny specks—they’re way too small for us to see‚ even under a microscope.) The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel. And presto! We have electricity!” (Solar Training and Renewable Energy Education). Solar energy is
