When an appliance whose power usage is X watts is run for Y seconds, it uses X x Y joules of energy. The energy unit used by electrical utilities in their monthly bills is the kilowatt-hour(kWh, that is,1 kilowatt is used for 1 hour.) How many joules are there in a kilowatt-hour? If electricity costs $0.09 per kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost per megajoule?

the question from thermodynamics Oxygen (molar mass 32 kg/kmol ) expands reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston at a constant pressure of 3 bar. The volume initially is 0.01 m3 and finally is 0.03 m3; the initial temperature is 18.97 0C. Calculate the mass of oxygen with the correct unit to four decimal places. Assume oxygen to be a perfect gas and take the specific heat at constant pressure as = 0 . 9 1 7 k J / k g K and molar gas constant as = 8,314 J / kmol K
When a stationary mass of gas was compressed without friction at constant pressure its initial state of 0.8 m3 and 0.105 MPa was found to change to final state of 0.40 m3 and 0.105 MPa. There was a transfer of 85 kJ of heat from the gas during the process.How much did the internal energy of the gas change ? * 1 Add File
