Should You Buy an Electric Car? Do the math. This article says that the EPA rating for the Nissan LEAF is exactly 30 kWh per 100 miles Assume you drive 15,000 miles per year Assume you pay 7.8 cents per kWh (kilowatt-hour) Assume your current vehicle gets 32 miles per gallon and gas cost $2.50 per gallon Which is cheaper to drive, your current vehicle or the Leaf?* What else should you consider before purchasing an electric vehicle? Ready to decide? Make an argument for either keeping your current vehicle or for getting an electric vehicle. Don't have a car? Make an argument for using public transportation and ride-sharing services.

We were asked to calculate the consumption of each person's residence, so let's assume that everyone has the same appliances and the calculation is for 30 days. Shower of 7500 W, 7 min of daily use, 5 people.500 W TV, 6h of daily use. Air conditioning 1300 W, 8h of daily use in summer. Consider the electric energy tariff of R$ 0,49/KWH.
Electric engineering Anoil fired furnace is heating 10 TPH material. The temperature of material is increased by 50°C to 1300°C. Oil consumption per hour is 650 litres. The specific gravity and net calorific value of fuel oil is 0.92 and 9700 kcal/kg respectively. Find the thermal efficiency of the furnace, if sp. heat of material is 0.13 kcal/kg °C.
Suppose the cost of an incandescent bulb is 28 cents and that electricity costs 10.5 cents/kWh. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL), while they are more expensive, use 1/10 of the power for the same amount of illumination. What would be the maximum cost (in dollars) of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60 W bulbs? Assume both lightbulbs run for 1000 h.
