Question
- a) Californian tomatoes (3)
Electricity required to heat greenhouse to grow 1 ton of tomatoes = 16,000 kWh
Emission factor for electricity generated using natural gas = 0.15 kgCO2eq / kWh
Distance from farm to store and back = 20 miles
One diesel truck can carry 1 ton of tomatoes
Emission factor of diesel truck = 0.08 kg CO2eq per mile
Emissions for 1kg of California tomatoes = __________________________________

- Plasma spraying is a process used to coat the surface of a material with a protective layer to prevent material degradation. In a plasma spray process, the protective coating in powder form is injected into a plasma jet. The powder is then heated until the droplets coalesce and are propelled over the surface of the material. Once deposited on the surface of the material, the molten droplets solidify and form a protective coating layer. Consider a plasma spray process using alumina (k = 30 W/m K, ρ = 3970 kg/m³ and cp = 800 J/kg K) powder that is injected into a plasma jet at T∞ = 15,000 ° C and h = 10,000 W/m²·K. Alumina powder is made up of spherical-shaped particles with a mean diameter of 60 μm and a melting point of 2300 °C.Solving, the amount of time it would take for the particles, with an initial temperature of 20 °C, to reach their melting point from the time they are injected into the plasma jet is 5,25x10 -4 s.
