Concept explainers

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Question: Calculate the Solar Energy potential (GWh) that can be generated on Annual Basis if 50,000km2of the area of Jordan was covered with Solar PV modules. List your assumptions: Solar PV estimated generation = 2GWh/MWp Each 1MWp will need = 10,000m2 Cost of fossil fuel to generate electricity in Jordan = 1000 million JD/year Annual Electricity Generated in Jordan = 20,000 GWh Required Calculate Solar Energy potential by Dividing the Electricity generated from PV over 50,000km2 / Annual Electricity Generated? You are going to Build a Solar PV Plant to cover the Annual Electricity Needs of Jordan What is the Size of the plant? Calculate Present Value (P), if the cost of the 1MWp = 500,000JD. If the cost of Generation of Electricity in Jordan is 0.10JD/KWh, what is the Simple Payback Period (SPP)? What is the annual electricity saving (A0) if the degradation is 1%? What is (A1) if the operation, maintenance and cleaning is 2% of initial cost? What…
