". #rovide a short description of the operation of pumped stora$e systems. Pump storage hydroelectricity is a method of storing and producing electricity to supply high peak demands by moving water between reservoirs at different elevations (pumping water from low-level reservoir to high-level reservoir where water is stored) . %hat is the purpose of pumped stora$e systems& Purpose is to generate electricity, when water falls down the pipes, driving turbines. '. (xplain the difference )etween reduced*scale testin$ and full*scale testin$. Reduced-scale testing !esting small models of designs. !he main advantage of this approach is that models are "uicker and cheaper to build than full-si#ed prototypes. !he main disadvantage is that their behavior during tests cannot perfectly simulate that of a fullsi#e prototype. $ull-scale testing !he main advantage of this approach is that tests are totally realistic. !he main disadvantage is that full-scale prototypes can be e%pensive to build and test. +. ,efine moc-*up test. the acid test . computational fluid dynamics. &ock-up test ' () model simulating shape and si#e, but without internal components !he acid test ' crucial trial to prove whether or not something works *omputational $luid )ynamics *omputational $luid )ynamics (*$)) is computer software used to assist in aerodynamic design.

It uses heat on air to e%pand it, and low temperature and pressure on high altitude to create a pressure differential. 3". @ow does a solar tower wor-& ' large glass enclosure is built, with a chimney at its centre. !he sun heats the enclosure, causing e%pansion of the air inside. 't the top of the chimney, the lower temperature and pressure create a pressure differential because of higher altitude. !his is known as stack effect. 0lectricity is then generated in the turbines at the bottom of the chimney, which are driven by a flow of air. 3 . %hat physical forces would act on a solar tower 1 -m hi$h& 6ravity, which causes mass to e%ert a downward load, which has to be transmitted to the ground. 2ind load, which is a hori#ontal force, e%erted by air pressure against one side of the structure. +ending forces 1 compression and tension. 5hear force 1 the wind tries to slide the structure along the ground, and the foundations below resist that. !he result is shear force between the substructure and the superstructure. $riction 1 resisting pull-out forces. !orsion 1 twisting force 0%pansion 1 when concrete absorbs heat from the sun, *ontraction 1 when the sun sets in. 77!rebalo bi da samo treba3u da se napisu sile ali evo stavio sam I ob3asn3en3a ako sluca3no bude trebalo. 3'. :a)el the dia$rams usin$ the forces explained in Audioscript 10.2 778potrebl3ava3u se sile i# prethodnog pitan3a 3+.
