25. A solar-power-tower plant is considered for a given city with a DNI = 2072 kWh/m2.year. Heliostats with a total area of 80,000 m² are to be used to reflect solar radiation into a receiver. When the average solar irradiation is 950 (W/m), steam is produced at a rate of 20 kg/s. The resulting steam is directed to a turbine to produce mechanical power. A generator is connected to turbine to convert turbine shaft power into electricity. Assume the collector-receiver conversion is 85 percent efficient; take the average thermal efficiency to be 18 percent, and the generator efficiency to be 96 percent. (a) How much electricity can be produced per year? What is the temperature of the produced steam if the fluid initial temperature is 25'C, and the specific heat capacity is 4.2 kJ/kg."C?

A solar energy storage compartment contains 1,778 rocks that can approximate 3-inch-diameter spheres. The properties of the rocks are k = 2.2 Btu / h ∙ ft ∙ ºF, α = 0.07 ft2 / h, cp = 0.2 Btu / lbm ° F, and the density is 160 lbm / ft3. How long (in hours) would it take for solar energy to saturate the compartment using 200 ° F air from a solar collector? How much energy (in Btu) is stored in the compartment under these conditions if it is initially at 79 ° F and h = 5 Btu / h ∙ ft2 ∙ ºF?
An electric home stove with 3 burners and microwave is used in preparing a meal asfollows. Burner 1: 20 minutes Burner 2: 40 minutes Burner 3: 15 minutes . Microwave: 30minutes.

QI: At winter design conditions, a house is projected to lose heat at a rate of 65,000 Btu/h. The internal heat gain from people, lights, and appliances is estimated to be 6500 Btu/h. If this house is to be heated by electric resistance heaters, determine the required rated power of these heaters in kW to maintain the house at constant temperature.
