Converting sunlight to electricity with solar cells has an efficiency of 15%. It's possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine. Each dish in the figure concentrates sunlight on one side of a heat engine, producing a hot-reservoir temperature of 510 degrees C. The cold reservoir, ambient air, is approximately 28 degrees C. The actual working efficiency of this device is 30%. What is the...

An inventor claims that she/he created a new device generating electricity. The device uses air as a working fluid. As a patent lawyer, you want to know the efficiency of the cycle. The cycle starts with heat transfer in at constant volume. The initial temperature is Ty and the temperature at the end of heat transfer is T2. Then, the air expands until the temperature reaches to T1. Heat transfer out occurs at a constant temperature. Plot this cycle on...

A heat engine extracts 51 kJ from the hot reservoir and exhausts 30 kJ into the cold reservoir. Part A What is the work done? ANSWER: Part B What is the efficiency?
summatize the following info and break them into differeng key points. write them in yojr own words apartus 6.1 Introduction—The design of a successful hot box appa- ratus is influenced by many factors. Before beginning the design of an apparatus meeting this standard, the designer shall review the discussion on the limitations and accuracy, Section 13, discussions of the energy flows in a hot box, Annex A2, the metering box wall loss flow, Annex A3, and flanking loss, Annex...
summarizr the followung info and write them in your own words and break them into different key points. 6.5 Metering Chamber: 6.5.1 The minimum size of the metering box is governed by the metering area required to obtain a representative test area for the specimen (see 7.2) and for maintenance of reasonable test accuracy. For example, for specimens incorporating air spaces or stud spaces, the metering area shall span an integral number of spaces (see 5.5). The depth of...
