- Explain why hydroelectric power and wind power are indirect forms of solar energy.arrow_forwardWhy do you think engineers believe that spraying, and not a steady stream of fuel, is more efficient?arrow_forwardThe total rate at which power is used by humans worldwideis approximately 15 TW (terawatts). The solar flux averagedover the sunlit half of Earth is 680 W/m2 (assumingno clouds). The area of Earth’s disc as seen from the Sun is1.28 x 1014 m2. The surface area of Earth is approximately197,000,000 square miles. How much of Earth’s surfacewould we need to cover with solar energy collectors to powerthe planet for use by all humans? Assume that the solar energycollectors can convert only 10% of the available sunlightinto useful power.arrow_forward
- Which factors contribute the most in a carbon footprint?arrow_forwardFossil fuel, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants all require a transmission network to transport electricity from where it is generated to where it is used. MCFCs, with their smaller size and portability, can be placed much closer to where the power is needed, reducing the need for transmission lines. With this in mind, explain why MCFCs may have a greater advantage for providing power in developing countries versus in developed countries.arrow_forward
