The area required would depend primarily on the efficiency of the system and on its location. A photovoltaic system works better in a desert in the southwest than in Seattle, Washington.

Can you make a photovoltaic cell at home?

Yes and no. There used to be a hobby kit with all the materials (ceramic tube electric furnace, one bare silicon wafer, dopant chemicals, metal plating chemicals, wafer scoring scribe, wire, and chemical trays) and instructions to make 8 small silicon photovoltaic cells. But it has been out of production for more than 25 years. It would be very difficult (but not completely impossible) to replicate something similar to this kit and make your own photovoltaic cells now, but certain materials would probably need to be purchased in prohibitively large quantity for an individual.

How many square yards are in 7500 feet?

There are not enough measurements to calculate square yards. It would need to be 7500 by (another measurement) to calculate.

What is the typical replacement cost of a heating and cooling system for a 3 story 5000 square foot house?

This is contingent upon the zoning you prefer. A house of this size would likely need two to three zones for adequate balancing of the system. Just one HVAC system will not likely accommodate the entire home. You would likely need two furnaces and two condenser units. Both would need to be sized for the volume of home they condition. The price for this would be approximately $6500 each, or approximately $13,000 total, not including ducting. I am assuming the ducting is existing and in good condition. In some situations using a light commercial "split system" might work better. A split system sits on the roof and contains both an air mover and a condenser in one unit. It does, however, require a flat roof on which to mount. (Otherwise it looks terrible...)

How many square ft of heating surface for 5000 btu?

To determine the square footage of heating surface required for 5,000 BTUs, a common rule of thumb is that you need approximately 10 square feet of heating surface per 1,000 BTUs. Therefore, for 5,000 BTUs, you would need about 50 square feet of heating surface. However, this can vary based on factors such as the efficiency of the heating system and the intended application. Always consult with a heating professional for precise calculations.


What is the difference between total surface area and lateral surface area?

total surface area is all of the area. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the square on the bottom and the four triangle sides lateral surface area is all the surface area EXCEPT the base. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the four sides of the pyramid. the bottom square is NOT included. for a triangular prism it would be the area of the three rectangle sides, NOT the two triangular sides

What is the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 meters and a height of 4 meters?

The circumference of that cylinder would be 31.4156 meters, and with a height of 4 meters, the outside surface of the sides would be 125.66 square meters. Does a cylinder have both an inside and outside surface? There is no thickness at all to the sides. Maybe it needs to be doubled, to be 251.32 square meters so we get both inside and outside surface, but I think not. A cylindrical *prism* would have a top and bottom, each having a surface of 78.54 square meters, for a total of 282.74 square meters.

How do you measure square yards of sand?

Square yards would be a surface area measurement (3ft x 3ft), to measure surface area of a flat surface measure the length and width (in yards) then simply the two together .for example 5yards x 2 yards = 10 square yards=10 yards2To measure the surface area of a nonuniform surface you would need very specific tools and programs, that are not easily available.Measuring the square yards of sand is very unusual and what you may mean is "how do I measure cubic yards of sand?"

What units would you use to describe the surface area of a box measured in feet?

An area is measured in square units, so for lengths measured in feet, the area would be measured in square feet.The surface area of a box, is just the sum of the areas of each face, each of which is measured in square units.
