An insulated, electrically heated tank for hot water contains 190 kg of liquid water at 60°C when a power outage occurs. If water is withdrawn from the tank at a steady rate of =0.2 kg s-, how long will it take for the temperature of the water in the tank to drop from 60 to 35°C? Assume cold water enters the tank at 10 C, and negligible heat losses from the tank. For liquid water let Cy = Cp C, independent of T and P. %3D

Estimate the AEP for a 3-MW wind turbine in a wind regime that has a CF= 30%. For this turbine explain why the increase of wind speed to levels greater than 25 m/s generates less electrical power compared to wind speeds around 11 m/s
Consider a wind machine designed to deliver its rated power at the average velocity fora given wind spectrum. It will be marketed for sites having wind velocity spectra thathave the same annual average velocity but with Weibull statistics ranging from k = 3/2to 5/2.a. Calculate the ratio of maximum to minimum annual average on-site wind poweravailable for exploitation for this range of wind fields.b. What additional assumptions are necessary if the power actually produced is tobe in the same ratio as in (a) above?
Consider a gravity-driven LED bulb that provides 16 lumens of lighting. The device uses a 10-kg sandbag that is raised by human power to a 2-m height. For continuous lighting, the bag needs to be raised every 20 minutes. Using an efficacy of 150 lumens per watt for the LED bulb, determine (a) the velocity of the sandbag as it descends and (b) the overall efficiency of the device.
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?
You want to buy electric energy. You can buy from company A, B, C, or D,but you must choose only one. You obtain past data on these four suppliers, and you then determinethat the prices for some of them have been quite volatile, influenced by the state of the economy(recession, stagnation, and inflation). You assess this data given in the table below. Assuming that you simply want to minimize your average costs over the long run, determine theexpected costs for all energy suppliers. Select the supplier based on minimum expected cost.

A family in Charlotte wants to drive to a campsite next to Mt. Mitchell. Their trip will take them 2km up in elevation. They have the choice of taking their top-of-the-line Tesla model S P100D, which when fully charged has 100 kWh of stored energy in the batteries (and for this problem is 100% efficient at converting its stored energy into kinetic energy) and a mass of 2200kg, or their choice of taking their 2021 Ford F-150. Gasoline has an energy density of 34.2 Megajoules per liter. The family owns the smallest 2021 Ford F-150, and so it has a fuel tank of 23 gallons. Assume the F-150’s engine is able to convert 30% of the energy stored in its gasoline tank into kinetic energy (typical efficiency for gasoline engines), with the rest of the stored energy in the gasoline lost to heat. The mass of this model F-150 is about 2000kg. They are going to tow their big pop-up trailer to the campsite.For this question, assume that each vehicle must use a combined 79 kWh of energy to combat the…
