Consider a PV Module that produces 60 V of potential under Standard Test Conditions and with a temperature voltage coefficient of -0.0040/C. How many of these modules could be connected in series without exceeding the 600V limit associated with the UL listing of the product, if the minimum temperature at the site is expected to be -15C?

A chromel-constantan type thermocouple has a cold junction (or cold terminal) at the temperature of 20ºC. The tables provide the following values for this thermocouple: 0°C for e.m.f = 0.000 mV; 20ºC for e.m.f = 1192 mV and 200ºC for e.m.f = 13419 mV. To determine:(a) The Seebeck coefficient (or proportionality constant) of this thermocouple. (b) The electrical voltage at the thermocouple terminals when the hot junction (or terminal hot) is at a temperature of 200ºC.

A 0.5-in.-diameter steel [E= 30,000 ksi] bolt (1) is placed in a copper tube (2). The copper [E= 16,000 ksi] tube has an outside diameter of 1.00 in., a wall thickness of 0.125 in., and a length of L= 8.0 in. Rigid washers, each with a thickness of t= 0.125 in., cap the ends of the copper tube. The bolt has 20 threads per inch. This means that each time the nut is turned one complete revolution, the nut advances 0.05 in. (i.e., 1/20 in.). The nut is hand-tightened on the bolt until the bolt, nut, washers, and tube are just snug, meaning that all slack has been removed from the assembly but no stress has yet been induced. What stresses are produced in the bolt and in the tube if the nut is tightened an additional quarter turn past the snug-tight condition?
