The average weather conditions are net radiation = 40 W/m2; air temperature = 28 .5° C; relative humidity = 55 percent; and wind speed = 2.7 m/s at a height of 2 m. Calculate the open water evaporation rate in millimeters per day using the energy method, the aerodynamic method, the combination method, and the Priestley-Taylor method. Assume standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa and Z0 is 0.03 cm.

Radiation from the Sun reaching Earth (just outside the atmosphere) has an intensity of 1400 W/m2. What would the intensity be at Uranus? Assuming that Earth (and its atmosphere) behaves like a flat disk perpendicular to the Sun's rays and that all the incident energy is absorbed, calculate the force on Earth due to radiation pressure. What would it be for Uranus? What is the force on the Earth due to the sun's gravitational attraction? What is it for Uranus?

Standard test conditions (STC) for panels are 1000 W/m2incoming radiation, panel oriented normal to the sun, and 25 °C.  If all other conditions are the same but we decrease the temperature, how will this affect power output of the panel, relative to its STC rating?  Why? How is solar energy wasted when the frequency of incoming solar radiation is too low? When the frequency is too high? How does a multi-junction solar cell improve efficiency compared to a single-junction cell?
