In the central receiver concept of a solar power plant, many heliostats at ground level are used to direct a concentrated solar flux
(a) If all of the solar flux is absorbed by the receiver and a surface temperature of
(b) The surface temperature of the receiver is affected by design and operating conditions within the power plant. Over the range from 600 to 1000 K, plot the variation of the convection, radiation, and total heat rates as a function of

- 5.43 A refrigeration truck is traveling at 130 km/h on a desert highway where the air temperature is . The body of the truck is idealized as a rectangular box 3 m wide, 2.1 m high, and 6 m long, at a surface temperature . Assume that (1) the heat transfer from the front and back of the truck is neglected, (2) the stream does not separate from the surface, and (3) the boundary layer is turbulent over the whole surface. Calculate the required cooling rate of the refrigeration unit.arrow_forwardAn electrical transmission line of 1.2-cm diameter carries a current of 200 amps and has a resistance of 310-4 ohm per meter of length. If the air around this line is at v, determine the surface temperature on a windy day, assuming a wind blows across the line at 33 km/h.arrow_forward
