Question:
A battery is charged from a constant dc source of 220 V through a chopper. The dc battery
is to be charged from its internal emf of 90 V to 122 v. The battery has an internal
resistance of 1 ohm for a constant charging current of 10 A. What is the range of duty
сycle?
Option 1:
0.55 to 0.7
Option 2:
0.2 to 0.4
Option 3:
0.45 to 0.6
Option 4:
0.3 to 0.5
Convert 3000 W into the equivalent Btu/hour. Show all the steps.
The following gives the data when 100 regular light bulbs are replaced with 100 LED light bulbs. Ignore the interest rate and
assume the electricity cost is $0.17/kWh. What will be the saving (in $) for 1200 hours?
Regular light bulbs:
Cost per piece: $1.00
Power rate: 100 W
Lifetime: 2000 hours
LED light bulbs:
Cost per piece: $2.00
Power rate: 15 W
Lifetime: 20000 hours
