&nswer an! Ten Questions *1# + 1# , 1## Mar-s. */ote0 1ia ra2s should be drawn neatl!. 1. Design a solar collector wit !ins" c annels wit a#sor#er (#lack sur!ace) to carry ot water. Pro$ide a casing to enclose t e com%onents to %rotect !rom external distur#ances. &x%lain t e construction o! t e collector and its classi!ication. *. T e incoming solar radiation is !ocused to central recei$er %lant. T e mirrors are installed on ground and oriented to re!lect #eam radiation. Design t e corres%onding ig tem%erature solar t ermal electric con$ersion de$ice. +. ,#tain t e %ressure and $elocity %ro!iles o! wind mo$ing t roug a ori-ontal axis %ro%eller ty%e wind tur#ine. .se t e general energy e/uation !or steady state !low !or unit mass and deri$e t e axial !orce on a tur#ine w eel o%erating at maximum e!!iciency. 0. T e generator tor/ue o! t e wind tur#ine is !ully under t e control o! electronic con$erter. Draw a suita#le con!iguration w ere t e $oltage control can #e o!!ered to grid wit out distur#ing generator dynamics. Com%are its strengt s and weakness wit constant s%eed and dou#ly !ed wind tur#ine. 1. Design a ydrot ermal con$ecti$e system w ere dry steam !rom t e dee% well is collected" !iltered to remo$e a#rasi$e %articles and %assed t roug t e tur#ine to dri$e t e generator. 2. 3 y#rid %lant utili-es low tem%erature eat o! geot ermal sources and !ossil !uel com#ustion in t e ig tem%erature end. &x%lain t e details wit rele$ant diagrams. 4. 3 %ower %lant uses eit er #ul# grou% or rim tur#ine. Draw t e sc ematic layout and ex%lain t e necessary com%onents. 5. Design and ex%lain a #iogas %lant w ere a window o%ening is ke%t !or outward mo$ement o! t e digested slurry at t e to% o! !oundation. 6. 3 c ea% !loating drum #iogas %lant is used in illy and ig water ta#le area. 7denti!y and ex%lain it in detail. 1(. Two #iogas %lants are constructed in w ic t e !irst %lant re/uires s%ecial design and skilled masonry in t e dome roo! construction and t e second %lant does not need steel drum digester. &x%lain #ot t e %lants wit necessary sketc es. 11. &x%lain in detail a#out two ty%ical wind %owered %um%ing a%%lications
