Chapter 1, Problem 1.5P
The electric utility rate for a facility during the months of May through October is 4.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, $11.50 per kilowatt peak demand, and a $68.00 per month meter charge. During the August billing period the facility used 96,000 kw-hrs and set a peak demand of 624 kw during the time between 4:45 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. in the afternoon on August 15. Calculate the August eletric bill.

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.arrow_forwardA mining company depleted more than half of its ore reserves and is no longer using all of its shaft infrastructure. It considers using one of the old shafts for pumped-storage hydro-electricity generation. This means that water will be pumped to the higher level, which is 1 000 m above the bottom level, at night when Eskom charges lower, off-peak, rates. The “higher level” will be changed into a dam (reservoir) by means of plugs that will be installed in some tunnels. The stored water has potential energy, which will be used to generate electricity for the mine at peak hours, when electricity is expensive. The pump that will be installed at the bottom of the column will also be used as a turbine for the generation of electricity The pump-as-turbine (PAT) must pump water to a height of 1 000 m through a column with an internal diameter (ID) of 345 mm. 3.1. Calculate the velocity of the water in the pipe if the quantity of water to be pumped is 220 litres per second (lps). 3.2.…arrow_forward

- 3. A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 210C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required. draw a figure also, and explain each step by step solution.arrow_forwardList the forms of energy that contribute to the internal energy of a systemarrow_forwardIn 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 .arrow_forward
