If the LHV of wood logs is 16 MJ/kg, how much energy is available for 2 kg of wood logs? If I burn all wood logs, what is the maximum energy in the heat I could obtain? If 30% of heat can be changed to electricity, how much electricity will be generated? If the heating value (LHV) of dry wood is 20 MJ/kg, what is the maximum energy 20 tonnes of wood could provide? If 60 % of the heat in wood could be transferred, how much heat can be transferred? If the heating value of coal is 40 MJ/kg, how much energy is available for 10 tonnes of coal? If I burn wood logs (LHV =16 MJ) to obtain the same amount of heat, how much (in tonne) of wood logs do I need to burn?

In the United States, energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal, and cord. A house in Wisconsin uses 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season. Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV. Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is $3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3 .
The roofs of many homes in the United States are covered with photovoltaic (PV) solar cells that resemble roof tiles, generating electricity quietly from solar energy. An article stated that over its projected 30-year service life, a 4-kW roof PV system in California will reduce the production of CO2 that causes global warming by 433,000 lbm, sulfates that cause acid rain by 2900 lbm, and nitrates that cause smog by 1660 lbm. The article also claims that a PV roof will save 253,000 lbm of coal, 21,000 gallons of oil, and 27 million ft3 of natural gas. Making reasonable assumptions for incident solar radiation, efficiency, and emissions, evaluate these claims and make corrections if necessary.
When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). On average, 0.59 kg of CO2 is produced for each kWh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year. The city's refrigerators produce. 20,650 mton CO2/year. If the area of the city is 190 miles2, and if all that CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, calculate the increase in CO2 concentration by weight in the atmosphere knowing that each cm2 of area carries a column of air that weighs 1 kg. If 1 mature tree absorbs 48 lbm of CO2 per year, what is the ratio of trees to households this city should have to counter the effect of refrigeration?
A freezer uses 100 kJ of electrical energy to move 330 kJ of thermal energy from inside the freezer to outside. We can determine how much the room temperature increases when 1 kg of ice freezes. a. How much thermal energy must be removed from 1 kg of 0oC water to turn into 0oC ice? (the latent heat of fusion of water is 320 kJ/kg) b. How much electrical energy is used to freeze the ice? c. What is the total energy, including waste heat, exhausted by the freezer into the kitchen? d. A kitchen contains 43 kg of air (specific heat capacity of 1.0 kJ/kgK). Before the ice freezes, the air temperature is 20oC. After the ice freezes, at which temperature will the air be: 22oC, 25oC or 30oC?
How much annual CO2 emissions (in tons per year) would be avoided if the USA doubles its hydroelectric capacity and reduces the coal-fired power plants at the same time? The average overall thermal efficiency of the coal-fired power plants is 36% and the heating value of carbon is 32,700 kJ/kg.

In a company there are the following consumptions for energy and energetics. The company works 8hours a day and consumes an average of 10 kWh/day of electrical energy, its thermal energy production system(heating) works through the combustion of a gas that provides 111.76 kcal/h for each gram that isgas flaring, using an average of 0.25 lbm/h of gas.Fuel is also used in another thermal system that on average consumes 1 lbm/h, whose density is 1.1g/mL with calorific value of 1193.45 BTU/lbm.
