3. an average household in iowa consumes 4700 kwh of electricity annually. consider a pv solar system consisting of monocrystalline silicon modules, each rated at 200 w and have a surface area of 2 m2. assume the pv modules have an overall solar-electric conversion efficiency of 18% and an expected power output of 140 w in this system with the rated solar flux of 1000 w/m2. the system is grid connected and participates in net metering where excess electricity generated is "banked" and provided back to homeowner at no cost. based on this there is no need for storage. a. at what tilt should the pv modules be fixed to utilize greatest amount of the annual solar radiation?

b. based on the average solar resource determined in part (a), what is the minimum number pv modules that are required to generate 100% of the electricity used by the household?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
