Chapter 1, Problem 1.4P
Electric power companies measure energy consumption in kilowatt-hours, denoted kWh. One kilowatt-hour is the amount of energy transferred by 1 kW of power in a period of 1 hour. A power company billing statement reports a user's total energy usage to be 1500 kWh. Find the amount of energy in joules used during the billing period.

- A small plant has been constructed and the costs are known. A new plant is to be estimated with the use of the exponential (power sizing) costing model. Major equipment, costs, and factors are as shown in the shown table. (Note MW = 106 Watts.) If ancillary equipment will cost an additional $200,000, find the cost for the proposed plant.arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forwardA no. 000 AWG wire is 100 meters long. For no. 000 wire, it has a wire resistance of 0.0618 ohms per 1000ft.
