It is shown, that the parameter efficiency does not determine univocally the output power of a converter. It is proposed to use another parameter for determination of working ability of heat energy converters. It is shown, that high output power can not be achieved by any kind of Stirling-type converters in spite of their high efficiency.

Next: Part 12: CyberCar, Every Racer's DWIM Car? Previous: Part 10: Grip Angle The Physics of Racing, Part 11: Braking Brian Beckman physicist and member of No Bucks Racing Club P.O. Box 662 Burbank, CA 91503 I was recently helping to crew Mark Thornton's effort at the Silver State Grand Prix in Nevada. Mark had built a beautiful car with a theoretical top speed of over 200 miles per hour for the 92 mile time trial from Lund to Hiko. Mark had no experience driving at these speeds and asked me as a physicist if I could predict what braking at 200 mph would be like. This month I report on the back-of-the-envelope calculations on braking I did there in the field. There are a couple of ways of looking at this problem. Brakes work by converting the energy of motion, kinetic energy, into the energy of heat in the brakes. Converting energy from useful forms (motion, electrical, chemical, etc. ) to heat is generally called dissipating the energy, because there is no easy way to get it back from heat. If we assume that brakes dissipate energy at a constant rate, then we can immediately conclude that it takes four times as much time to stop from 200 mph as from 100 mph. The reason is that kinetic energy goes up as the square of the speed. Going at twice the speed means you have four times the kinetic energy because . The exact formula for kinetic energy is , where is the mass of an object and is its speed. This was useful to Mark because braking from 100 mph was within the range of familiar driving experience.

In a qualitative manner, we can describe the temperature of an object as that which determines the sensation of warmth or coldness felt from contact with it. It is easy to demonstrate that when two objectsof the same material are placed together (physicists say when they are put in thermal contact), the object with the higher temperature cools while the cooler object becomes warmer until a point is reached after which no more change occurs, and to our senses, they feel the same. When the thermal changes have stopped, we say that the two objects (physicists define them more rigorously as systems) are in thermal equilibrium . We can then define the temperature of the system by saying that the temperature is that quantity which is the same for both systems when they are in thermal equilibrium. If we experiment further with more than two systems, we find that many systems can be brought into thermal equilibrium with each other; thermal equilibrium does not depend on the kind of object used.

The next big step for tokamak research is the construction of the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER), a 10-year, $8 billion research project that scientists believe will achieve the Holy Grail of fusion research: producing more energy than it consumes. The Lab also is pursuing several other approaches to fusion that could turn out to be more economically attractive for commercial energy production than the expensive, warehouse-sized tokamaks: Magnetic Fusion Energy Program continue to explore new techniques for containing plasma in magnetic mirror systems, which are inherently less turbulent than tokamaks.

Measurement of solar-induced heat fluxes through solar collector surfaces. Using Heat Flux Sensors for the measurement of solar collector efficiency In solar energy studies, the efficiency of the solar energy system is often one of the main parameters of interest. In thermal solar systems (solar collectors, passive solar energy) the sun is used directly to heat objects or water. Using heat flux sensors, this flow of solar energy can be monitored. Typically, the heat flux sensor is part of a larger measurement system that also involves measurement of temperatures, wind, and in case of hot-water collectors, water flow. The heat flux sensor is often mounted directly on the solar panel. Most often use of is recommended. See also the section on heat flux.

Complete List of Topics Covered THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Heat moves through a material at a specific rate. The rate it travels depends on the material itself: some materials allow heat to move quickly through them, some materials allow heat to move very slowly through them. When heat is applied to a portion of a material, that heat will move through the material. Depending on the composition of the atoms of that material, the heat may move very slowly, or it may move very quickly. Heat moves very quickly through a metal spoon, for instance: leaving one end of a spoon in boiling water will make the entire spoon hot very quickly. The entire spoon becomes hot, not just the spot in the boiling water. On the other hand, heat moves very slowly through the insulation in your house. When it is very cold outside, the heat from your house moves slowly from one side of the insulation to the other. This helps keep the heating costs of your house down. When two objects of different temperatures are put in contact with one another, there is an exchange of thermal energy. This exchange, known as heat conduction, causes the warmer object to cool and the cooler object to warm.

The Physics Gallery. The Physical Principles of Unworkable Devices. By Donald E. Simanek Cranks keep the wheels turning. Contents Principles of Unworkable Devices. Physics 101 for Perpetual Motion Machine Inventors. Principles of Unworkable Devices. Perpetual motion machine inventors do have principles. Unfortunately the physical principles they assume are often ones not obeyed by nature. Let's examine just a few. The principle of unlimited possibility. Anything is possible in nature. The "heavier on one side" seduction. The "more weight on one side" distraction. The "unbalanced torque" deception. The cyclic disappointment. The elastic/inelastic dilemma. Failure to isolate the system. The static/dynamic trap. The apples/oranges equation. The artistic illusion. Experimental "gotchas". The "dog chasing its tail" principle. Reinventing the square wheel. Anything is possible Inventors assume that since we haven't looked at every part of the universe nor have we looked at every possible mechanism or phenomena, we can't rule out anything. If one has faith in oneself, perseverance, and tinkers long enough with new and untested ideas, one may discover ways to thwart "known" laws of physics. Those who think this way are much like the child who puts two blocks in a box, closes the box, shakes it, then opens it, hoping to find three blocks inside. The child hasn't yet had sufficient experience with how nature works to realize that nature doesn't work that way. Perpetual motion machine seekers hope that by using some new combination of well-known materials and well-known mechanisms, they just might make a machine that outputs more work than is required to run it.

October 31 Reading assignment: Chapter 6.1 Temperature We have already seen that the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. In a gas the atoms are moving randomly. In a solid, the atoms can move randomly about their equilibrium positions. In addition, the solid as a whole can move with a given velocity and have ordered kinetic energy. Only the kinetic energy associated with the random motion of the atoms is proportional to absolute temperature of the solid. The average kinetic energy associated with the random motion of a any substance is proportional to the absolute temperature of the substance Thermal energy is disordered energy. Temperature is a measure of this internal, disordered energy. While in ideal gases the disordered energy is all kinetic energy, in solids it is a combination of kinetic and potential energy. If we model the atoms in a solid as being held together by tiny springs, the random kinetic energy of each atom constantly switches between kinetic energy and elastic potential energy. How can we heat things up?

Motion and Forces Newton's laws predict the motion of most objects. As a basis for understanding this concept: Students know how to solve problems that involve constant speed and average speed. Students know that when forces are balanced, no acceleration occurs; thus an object continues to move at a constant speed or stays at rest (Newton's first law). Students know how to apply the law F=ma to solve one-dimensional motion problems that involve constant forces (Newton's second law). Students know that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object always exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).
