Question
![A. if the density of an oil at 60F is about 900 g/l, what is the corresponding API?
What will be the value of API at 50°C?
B. assume that you were asked to select either A (CH4) or C60H75 to be used as
energy source taking into consideration the emission of CO2 for both, which one
will be your candidate as a safer one (with respect to CO2 emissions) if the
quantity of the released energy for the second material is assumed doubled?
C. Suppose that a certain fraction of the power produced by a 350 MW coal plant
is offset by wind power. Assume that when the coal plant runs at its constant rated
power it has an efficiency of 37%, but that when it needs to be ramped up and
down to compensate for the wind power variations its efficiency is reduced by
according to e = 0.37 -0.00001p², at what p the efficiency is maximum?
