If the LHV of wood logs is 16 MJ/kg, how much energy is available for 2 kg of wood logs? If I burn all wood logs, what is the maximum energy in the heat I could obtain? If 30% of heat can be changed to electricity, how much electricity will be generated? If the heating value (LHV) of dry wood is 20 MJ/kg, what is the maximum energy 20 tonnes of wood could provide? If 60 % of the heat in wood could be transferred, how much heat can be transferred? If the heating value of coal is 40 MJ/kg, how much energy is available for 10 tonnes of coal? If I burn wood logs (LHV =16 MJ) to obtain the same amount of heat, how much (in tonne) of wood logs do I need to burn?

An electric home stove with 3 burners and microwave is used in preparing a meal asfollows. Burner 1: 20 minutes Burner 2: 40 minutes Burner 3: 15 minutes . Microwave: 30minutes. If each burner is rated at 1.2 kW and the oven at 1.8 kW, and electricity costs 1000(IQ =Iraqi Dinar) per k Wh, calculate the cost of electricity used in preparing the meal?
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.
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?
If a house needs a minimum heat transfer rate of 75 kJ/h (i.e., 75 kJ of heat needs to be transferred into the house during one hour) to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature. If one wants to use a heat pump with a COP of 5.55 to fulfill this heat transfer rate, what is the corresponding electricity (in kWh) consumption to run such a heat pump for one hour?
An office heater puts out 2090 Btu (British thermal units) of energy in the form of heat per hour. Given that 1 Btu=1.055 kJ,how many megajoules of energy in the form of heat can be produced per year (365 days) by the heater, assuming continuous operation?
What types of energy are consumed in Texas? How is this energy used?
In 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 .
This is Problem 13 of Chapter 3 in Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap, 2nd Edition. I need help solving it: A coal-fired generating station has an efficiency of 38% and produces an average electrical output of 1000 MWe.(a) How much coal does it burn per second (kg/s)? Assume the coal is bituminous.(b) How much heat (in joules) is released to the environment per second?(c) How many liters of water at 20°C could the heat in part (b) boil (at STP) per second? For c, here is my idea: use Q = mc(change in T). Here change in T is (100 C - 20 C) or 80 C and c = 4200 J/(kg C) so I can solve for m. Question: I need the density of water to find liters, but density changes with temperature. So, do I use the regular 1000 kg/m^3 or something else?
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 pellet stove used for residential heating produces 8,000 BTUs per hour and is 80% efficient. If over the course of a year, the pellet stove has a 0.37 capacity factor, how many cords of wood were burned over the course of that year? Assume that wood has an energy density of 16MJ/kg and that a cord of wood weight approximately 3,000 lbs. Please show your work.
