Type of solar energy || photovoltaic solar power || solar thermal power || consentrating solar power

Solar energy are three types

1. Photovoltaic solar energy

2. solar thermal energy

3.consentrating solar energy

Photovoltaic solar energy

The energy generated by incident solar energy into electricity is termed as photovoltaic solar energy

This is done using photovoltaic solar cell

Photovoltaic solar cell is two types

1 monocrystalline

2 polycrystal line

Solar thermal energy

Solar thermal energy is the heat energy derived from the incident solar energy. this is used by solar heating panel.

Consentrating solar energy

Concentrating solar energy works like a thermal power plant. When many mirrors are placed together in sunlight, the light from all the mirrors is placed in one place by consenting in one place. There the water in the boiler is heated to the temperature of sunlight and then electricity is generated like a thermal power plant.

air preheater in thermal power plant - function , construction , working ,advantage , disadvantage

definition of air preheater air preheater increase the temperature of the air. It is most commonly used in thermal power plant. And it is increase the efficiency of the boiler. Working of air preheaters (APH) 1. The hot fuel gas from the economist first enters the air preheater. Then those gases go through the tube to the chimney. The air mass then enters the preheater through the air inlet. 2. Then both air and fuel gas flow in opposite directions. 3. baffles are provided in the air preheater to provide more time for exchanging heat from fuel gas to air 4. thus heat is absorbed by the air from the fuel gas. 5. this preheater air is supplied to the furnace. construction 1. A tubular type air preheater is a large number of tube . 2. the fuel gas pass through the tube. 3. air flows over the tube. 4. baffles are provided to pass the air b number of time over the tube. 5. a soot hopper is provided at the bottom to collect the soo...

Strain gauge || what is strain gauge ? || Working principle of strain gauge || Example-types of strain gauge

what is strain gauge ? A string gauge is a sensor which whose resistance varies with applied force.it converts force, pressure, tension weight e.t.c in to a Electrical resistance which can then be measured like pizo resistive transducer. Working principle of strain gauge : As we applied forced to extend the length of gauge it's cross section area must reduce becouse volume of material remain constant. Then strain gauge is connected to a balanced whiston bridge but as force is applied on gauge resistance change and bridge becomes unbalanced producing V0 Gauge factor Gf=1+2Y Y= paison ratio Using gauge factor we determined change in resistance to the modify resistance and then using Wheaton bridge V0 Examples : Gauge factor in semiconductor is 120 Gauge factor in Ni=12 Gauge factor in co=4.9 Gauge factor in pt=5.2 C=10 types of strain gauge 1. Straight strain checks. 2. Layer Rosette strain checks....

Construction of silicon control rectifier (SCR)

SCR- silicon control rectifier Construction 1. Anode and cathode region are highly drop where gate as moderately drop and drift layer are lightly drop. 2. SCR can be visualized as too BJT (PNP) and ( n p n) connected together 3. SCR is the minority carrier device and it has three p n junction . Disadvantage of SCR 1. Switching is very least while T-off highest 2. More switching loss 3. More conductivity modulation , least R-oN 4. Minimum oN state drop and minimum conductivity loss # SCR contains three p n junction J1 anode and drift - anode is highly drop , depletion low J2 drift and gate - lightly drop , depletion low J3 gate and cathode - highly drop , depletion low Since there is light dropping on both side of J2 So breakdown voltage is high for junction J2 Reverse blocking Let , Anode is connected to negative terminal of supply which cathode is connected to positive terminal of supply 1. J1 and J2 rev...
