Perform a cost-effectiveness analysis on a typical large tanker used for transporting petroleum. Determine, as a percentage of the petroleum cargo, the amount of petroleum that is consumed in traveling a distance of 2000 miles. Use data from Example 9.4, and the following: Assume the petroleum cargo constitutes 75% of the total weight, the propeller efficiency is 70%, the wave drag and power to run auxiliary equipment constitute losses equivalent to an additional 20%, the engines have a thermal efficiency of 40%, and the petroleum energy is 20;000Btu/lbm. Also compare the performance of this tanker to that of the Alaskan Pipeline, which requires about 120 Btu of energy for each ton-mile of petroleum delivery.

- A vehicle manufacturer is considering an engine for a new sedan (CD = 0.34, Af = 22 ft2). The car is being designed to achieve a top speed of 100 mi/h on a paved surface at sea level (ρ = 0.002378 slugs/ft3) and a grade of 2%. The car currently weighs 2000 lb, but the designers initially selected an underpowered engine because they did not account for aerodynamic, grade, and rolling resistances. If 2 lb of additional vehicle weight is added for each unit of horsepower needed to overcome the neglected resistance, what will be the final weight of the car if it is to achieve the 100-mi/h top speed? What is the maximum initial acceleration this car can achieve from rest on this particular road?arrow_forwardFor the vehicle whose specifications are given below, calculate the engine power required in kW to climb up a slope of 12% (40 + XY) with a constant speed of km / h and upwind at a speed of 12 km / h.

The power coefficient of each wind turbine is predicted to be 0.41, and the combined efficiency of the gearbox and generator is 92 percent. Each wind turbine must produce 2.5 MW of electrical power when the wind blows at 12.5 m/s. (a) Calculate the required diameter of each turbine disk. Take the average air density to be ? = 1.2 kg/m3 . (b) If 30 such turbines are built on the site and an average home in the area consumes approximately 1.5 kW of electrical power, estimate how many homes can be powered by this wind farm, assuming an additional efficiency of 96 percent to account for the powerline losses.arrow_forward
