3. The U.S. auto industry produces approximately 6 million vehicles a year, each containing roughly 1.5 metric tons of fabricated metal. Consider a future wind-turbine industry having half of the auto industry's mass throughout of wind turbine units. Each unit has a specific weight of 75 kg/kW rated (nacelle components plus tubular tower only). a. At a wind-turbine capacity factor of 0.3, how long would it take to replicate the 2008 U.S.-installed average electric power rating of 1035 GW? b.

4. The efficiencies of aircraft can be very important indicators for meeting emission standards. Often thermal efficiency needs to be estimated indirectly instead of conducting combustion tests. A business jet is conducting testing at Mach 0.70 at sea level using the Jet A1 fuel (LCV=43.15 MJ/kg) at a specific fuel consumption of 0.06 kg/(Nh). The propulsive jet velocity is about 340 m/s.

NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A steam power plant receives heat from a furnace at a rate of 280 GJ/h. Heat losses to the surrounding air from the steam as it passes through the pipes and other components are estimated to be about 8 GJ/h. The waste heat is transferred to the cooling water at a rate of 170 GJ/h. Problem 06.017.a - Net power output of steam power plant Determine the net power output. (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.) The net power output is MW.
