How is the heat load of a transformer calculated?

Heat load is calculated by the following equation Q=m*cp*deltaT m=mass flow rate cp=specific heat deltaT=difference in temperature


On a mosquito magnet pro where does the fan get its voltage?

There is a thermoelectric generator between the heat sink and combustion chamber. The generator produces power which, in turn, spins the fan(s) in the unit.


What is in a nuclear reactor generator pump turbine or nuclear fuel?

A nuclear reactor generates heat through nuclear fission, primarily using nuclear fuel such as uranium or plutonium. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. The reactor's coolant system, which can include pumps, circulates water or other coolants to transfer heat away from the reactor core, ensuring safe operation. Thus, while the turbine and generator convert energy, the nuclear fuel is essential for initiating and sustaining the fission process.


Does load affects fuel consumption per hour of a diesel generator?

If the generator is to maintain the same rpm and power output, then a heavier load will increase the diesel consumption. The revolutions per minute the generator runs will increase as the load increases, thereby resulting in an increase in diesel consumption to maintain the high rpm. A Generator has a governor which attempts to maintain frequency at 60 Hz for North America. For the generator to increase the power output at the same frequency, the governor will increase the fuel and air to the engine. The fuel consumption will not be linear because of the curves associated with the particular engine. The fuel to KWH is know as the heat rate curve for the generator.

What are the benefit to manufactures that generate their own electricity?

If they just use an ordinary generator that exhausts its waste heat into the sky, like a conventional power plant, there is no advantage. But if the manufacturer uses a combined heat and power (CHP) system there is a benefit because the waste heat from the generator is used to provide space-heating in the factory, which gives a saving in energy costs.


Does a refrigerator exhausts the same amount of heat than it absorbs from its content?

No, a refrigerator exhausts more heat than it absorbs from its contents. This is because the refrigerator uses a compressor to remove heat from the interior and expel it outside, in addition to the heat it absorbs from the items inside.

Describe a method of insulation that can completely eliminate heat loss by conduction?

Installing fiberglass batting will completely eliminate heat loss.


What is the best way to eliminate heat transfer?

in power lines, the best way to eliminate heat transfer is to transport energy with a high voltage and low current.


Why is an exhaust system made of stainless steel?

Stainless steel exhausts are expensive but last a long time; they do not rust away like regular steel exhausts. Stainless steel exhausts are populat on custom, prestige and kit cars. A good staimless exhaust will last the lifetime of a car and never need replacing. It will, however discolour form the heat!


What will prevent the ignition of gasoline fumes?

To prevent the ignition of gasoline fumes, it is essential to eliminate potential ignition sources, such as open flames, sparks, or heat sources. Proper ventilation is crucial to disperse any accumulated fumes, reducing the risk of flammable concentrations. Additionally, using appropriate storage containers and keeping gasoline away from electrical equipment can further minimize the risk of ignition. Regular maintenance and adherence to safety guidelines also play a vital role in preventing incidents.

How can I use the heat in the air to run a generator?

we should use highly heat energy absorbing bodies like black bodies to absorb the heat energy...this energy is provided to water and water will be converted into steam which will run the generator


What are you seeing when looking across a room and see what appears to be fumes or heat waves?

When you see fumes or heat waves rising above an object in a room, it is likely due to differences in air temperature. As the air warms up near the object (such as a hot stovetop or radiator), it becomes less dense and rises, causing disturbances in the air that appear as fumes or heat waves. This phenomenon is known as convection.


Can you heat up plastic?

yes but if you breath in the fumes it may give you mouth and or throat cancer :)
