A football pitch 120m x 40 m is to be illuminated for night play by similar banks of equal 1500W lamps supported on twelve towers which are distributed around the ground to provide approximately uniform illumination of the pitch. Assuming that 38% of the total light emitted reaches the playing pitch and that an illumination of 900 lux is necessary for television purposes, calculate the number of lamps on each tower. The overall efficiency of the lamp is to be taken as 31 lm/W. The maintenance factor is 0.99. Give the computed numerical value in your answer not the rounded-off integer number of lamps.

9. A university 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 $0.11/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. Draw a figure or FBD that will support the problem. Explain each step by step formula.
A 100 W CFL light manufactured by Buyer’s Choice consumes 23 watts andhas an illumination rating of 1600 lumens and service life of 8000 hours andcosts $1.81. As an alternative, a generic 100 W incandescent light bulb costs$0.38 and produces 1500 lumens and has a service life of 750 hours. Let uscompare the performance of each light bulb by calculating the efficacy foreach light, and also estimating how much it would cost to run each light for 8hours per day for 220 days in a year. We will assume electricity costs 9 centsper kWh.For the Buyer’s Choice 100 W CFL light:

e newly appointed Government of a small island, depend on the import of fossil fuels to produce electricity, has the desire to invest in one or two renewable energy technologies. The advantage of the island is the number of different renewable energy potentials. The cost of electricity on the island is $0.39 kWh. 1) Using solar radiation photovoltaic technologies, it was estimated that 500 rooftops, with a total surface area of 456 000 m2 , will be available to install the photovoltaic panels. Assume that the solar panels actually cover 90% of the available surface area. Given, the size of a standard photovoltaic cell is 156 mm by 156 mm and for a silicon photovoltaic cell, each PV cell produces a current of 2.5 A at a voltage of 0.5 V. The average daily irradiance for the island is 185 W/m2 . Assume the initial capacity expenditure evaluated on a year basis of the photovoltaic system, that covers, 90% of the available surface area is US $600 000 and the annual operating cost is US $5…
