4. Regional Maritime University (RMU) campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each consuming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The campus is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are kept on. If the unit cost of electricity is GHC 0.082/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods.

4. An aluminum conductor having a cross-sectional area of 1843 MCM is used to transmit power from a high-voltage dc (HVDC) generating station to a large urban center. If the city is 900 km from the generating station, determine the resistance of the conductor at a temperature of 20oC. (Use 1 ft = 0.3048 m.) *Round off to 4 decimal digits.
Estimate the total land requirements for wind farms generating an amount of electric energy equal to 2008 US annual consumption (4.4 × 1012 kWeh) if individual units are rated at 2 MWe, have a rotor with a 100 m diameter, and are spaced 3 diameters side to side, 10 diameters front to rear in giant contiguous wind farms having an annual average capacity factor of 25%. Compare the required area to that of North and South Dakota (combined land area of 145,000 square miles), which have some of the best US wind resources. Discuss the factors that would favor or impede the practical implementation of a Grand Midwestern Wind Farm plan to provide the bulk of US electric energy by the year 2050.
Four industrial centers are located at the corners of a square of 35300 m side. The loads are 430000 W, 600000 W, 220000 W and 740000 W respectively. Determine the best Y coordinate location of the substation . The reference point of load is 220000 W. Coordinate of Y in KM =
The construction of PV solar cells uses a number of critical elements. One is indium an ingredient of the transparent conducting coating on the surface of the cell. The average material intensity for indium in solar cells is approximately 0.05 kg/kWnom. Calculate the quantity of indium that would be required for a project that would provide PV solar power with capacity factor of 0.25, sufficient to meet one third of the present needs of the US, population 301 million, each using an average of 10.2 kW. The current world production of Indium is 600 tones per year. If the solar project were to be implemented over a 5 year time span, is it true that the supply of indium be adequate?

The feeder is to be used with an antenna for which an inductive reactance is measured as j60 Ohms at 1.7 MHz. The resistive part of the antenna’s impedance is measured as 80 Ohms. Using the online impedance matching calculator, design a suitable impedance-matching network for each of the two cables if the coaxial cable has a characteristic impedance of 75 Ohms and the twin lead cable has a characteristic impedance of 300 Ohms, so that the inductance is in the longitudinal branch, while the capacitor is in the transversal branch of the impedance matching network. Do not round the resulting values.

Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehicle. Consider a car whose width (W) and height (H) are 1.85 m and 1.70 m, respectively, with a drag coefficient of 0.30. Determine the amount of fuel and money saved per year as a result of reducing the car height to 1.55 m while keeping its width the same. Assume the car is driven 18,000 km a year at an average speed of 95 km/h. Take the density and price of gasoline to be 0.74 kg/L and $0.95/L, respectively. Also take the density of air to be 1.20 kg/m3, the heating value of gasoline to be 44,000 kJ/kg, and the overall efficiency of the car’s drive train to be 30 percent.
1 - A square chip, with side ? = 5 mm, operates under isothermal conditions.The chip is positioned on a substrate so that its side and bottom surfaces are thermally insulated, while its top surface is exposed to theflow of a refrigerant at ?∞ = 15°C. From reliability considerations, the chip temperature cannot exceed ? = 85°C. The refrigerant being air, with a convection heat transfer coefficientcorresponding ℎ = 200 W/(m2K), what is the maximum allowable power for the chip? Since the coolant is a dielectric liquid for which ℎ = 3000 W/(m2K), what is the maximum allowed power?
