Compute the energy consumed by a 13-W compact fluorescent bulb burning for 1.0 h, and compare it to the energy consumed by a 60-W bulb that produces the same amount of light energy. What percent savings would th amount to, per hour? Exercise 15.1C At 11.0 cents/kWh, hbw much would use of that 13-W compact fluorescent bulb save you in costs for a month in which burned that bulb for 240 hours, compared to a regular 60-W bulb used for 240 hours? Both are you supposed to provide the same intensity of light.

Problem 1: AAC aluminum stranded conductor as Hawkweed type is composed of 24 aluminum wires with diameter line of each as 0.1118 inch. In data sheet from manufacturer stated that a conductor cross-sectional area is 300,000 cmil. For this conductor: a. Determine total cross- sectional area in numerical calculation and compare percent deviation from manufacture. b. Verify the dc resistance of this conductor at 50°C of 0.21330/mi, when the resistivity of the conductor (p) is 11.88 2-cmil/ft. Assuming that a 2% increase in resistance due to spiraling. c. Determine percent decrease in resistance at 60 Hz at 25° if the resistance at 50° is 0.2108 2/mi, when temperature constant Tof copper is 228. Note that: (1 mile = 5280 ft) and (1inch = 1000 mil)

Compact fluorescent tubes cost $15 each and have an estimated life span of 8,000 hours. These tubes consume 20 W of power, but produce illumination equivalent to that of 75 W incandescent bulbs. These cost $3.75 each and have an estimated life span of 1,200 hours.
