3. Please calculate the annual electricity production of a wind farm with 20 turbines. The annual mean wind speed is 7 m/s and diameter of the blades is 20 m. If we assume power consumption of a person is 3,000 kWh, about how many people will this energy support? Annual electricity production (KWh) = K Vm³ At T Where: - - - K = 3.2 (factor based on turbine performance) Vm= annual mean wind speed (m/s) At = swept area of turbine (m2) T = number of turbines Suitable for medium- to large-scale wind turbines (> 200 m2 swept area)
2) The energy consumed by a shower for 30 days is 22kwh. It is known that the resistance of the showerhead is 20 ohms and that its nominal current is 15A. So, what is the time in minutes that the shower was turned on during this period?
An electric resistance heater is used to provide space heating at an efficiency level of 100%. The electricity is sold at $0.13 per kWh. Question: How much money is needed if 1137.8 MBH is demanded? Hint: 1 MBH equals 1,000 btuh
A photovoltaic system is installed. It is determined that the capacity factor of the installation is 21% over the course of a year. In that year it produced 7.73 MWh. What is the size of the installation (based upon a 365-day year)?
If we wanted to supply all the electricity needs for New York City (NYC), with a popula- tion of about 10 million people, using photovoltaics technology, how much land area would we need? What other elements would be required for such an idea to work for NYC? How large of an investment would this involve, and how would the price of electricity in ¢ per kWeh have to increase in order to recover that investment in 10 years at an interest rate of 8%? For comparison, the average New Yorker paid 12¢/kWeh in 2002.
Question 2. A household with electric resistance heating plans to switch from resistive heating to a ground source heat pump. Annual heat consumption of the house is 30 000 kWh. Investment cost of the heat pump is 21 000 €. Heat pumps COP is 4.0. How much are the annual savings compared to resistive heating after the change of the heating system (in kWh)? Average price of electricity is assumed to be 12 c/kWh. Round off your answer to one decimal digit and enter it without the unit.
1.5. A refrigerator is used to cool 4 litres of soft drink from room temperature (25 °C) to 3 °C. If the density of the soft drink is 1015 kg/m3 (1 litre = 0.001 m³), how much heat must be removed if the specific heat of the soft drink is 4350 J/kg °C. 1.6. An engine operating in a cycle absorbs 5000 cal of the heat from a heat source and performs 2000 cal of work. Calculate: (a) The amount of heat discarded in this cycle (b) The efficiency of the engine
2. What is the work done by a system when it absorbs 47 J of heat and gain 12 J of energy? 3. How much heat is released by a system when 45 J of work is done on it to decrease its energy to 23 J? 4. Suppose a woman does 500 J of work and 9500 J of heat transfer occurs into the environment in the process. What is the decrease in her internal energy, assuming no consumption of food? 5. A thermodynamic system undergoes a process in which its internal energy decreases by 500 J. If at the same time 220 J of work is done on the system, find the thermal energy transferred to or from it.
