In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power
generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)
The amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation:
where
T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms
g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters
What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Please show all of your work.

- In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?arrow_forwardChapter 7, Problem 63, there is an 'h' value that is solved when expressing half the width of the Rankine Oval that I am not quite understanding the process by which the value is solved for.
