- 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)arrow_forwardThe sketch shows an oil manometer that is connected between two pipes which transport water. The density of water can be taken as 998kg/m3, the specific gravity of glycerol is 0.76 and atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The respective dimensions (as shown on the sketch) are given below: h1 = 0.17 m h2 = 350 mm h3 =15cm.

- 7. Saul ascends from the city of Tucson, Arizona to the top of Kitt Peak, 2900 m above the sea level. Usually, Saul will feel his ears “pop” as the pressure inside his ears attempts to maintain the equilibrium with the surrounding air. However, on this day Saul has cold and his Eustachian tube is clogged, causing a tremendous pressure behind his 4.0×10^(-5) m^2 ear drum. What force does Saul feel pushing on his ears?
