A 300 ft-long 6-ft-wide parabolic trough concentrator receives normal sun radiation at 905 W/m2. A pipe at the focal line received 450 lbm /hour of water at 200 psia and at 100 oF and exits at 180 psia. Calculate the pipe exit conditions. Assume the concentrator reflective losses of 5 percent.

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
