Many decisions are made on the basis of the payback period: the time it will take through savings to equal the capital cost of an investment. Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. For some industries, a payback period is as small as 2 yeas) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation in the preceding problem. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time. Take the average T for the 120-day heating season to be 15.0 .
sometimes the hot water produced by a solar water heater is not warm enough to mee the needs of the occupants of a building. A traditional water heater inside the building supplies additional thermal energy to the solar warmed water. How can this method still reduce the overalll amount of natural gas or electrical energy a building uses?
The average electricity consumption of a house in Gainesville is known to be 1,036 kWh in a month (One month = 30 days). They would like to install solar panels of 30 % efficiency to generate this electricity. Given that the average solar power density in Gainesville is 5.47 kWh/m2/day, how much surface area must the panels occupy? Calculate the result in m² but do not write the unit. Round off you E swer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)
Three 105.0-g ice cubes initially at 0oC are added to 0.900kg of watter initially at 21.5oC in an insulated container. What is the mass of unmelted ice, if any, when the system is at equilibrium?
Determine the energy stored (in units of mJ) by C4 when C1 = 20 µF, C2 10 uF, C3 = 14 pF, C4 = 30 pF, and Vo = 61 V. Select one: OA. 0.93 O B. 3.97 OC. 5.95 OD. 0.65 OE. 58.05
(1) An incandescent light bulb produces 5.85 Joules of light energy each second. This bulb is 7.80% efficient, meaning that only 7.80% the total energy it consumes becomes light and the rest becomes waste heat. A 12.0 W fluorescent bulb is designed to produce the same illumination (in Joules of light energy per second) as the incandescent bulb. A large building uses 17,530 light bulbs. At a cost of 8.56€/kW-hr for electricity, how much money will the owners of the building save each year if they use fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs? Express your answer in dollars. [answer: about $828,000]
Consider a 24-kW hooded electric open burner in an area where the unit costs of electricity and natural gas are $0.10/kWh and $1.20/therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ), respectively. The efficiency of open burners can be taken to be 73 percent for electric burners and 38 percent for gas burners. Determine the rate of energy consumption and the unit cost of utilized energy for both electric and gas burners.
Suppose a utility generates electricity with a 36 percent efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of per million BTUs of heat into the plant. Suppose the utility encourages its customers to replace their incandescents (power = 75 W) with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that produce the same amount of light. Over the 10,000-hr lifetime of a single CFL (power = 18 W), How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved?

A 2.0 m2 solar panel is fully illuminated by sunlight. Assume the sunlight has a power density of 0.10 J/cm2 -s. a) If the efficiency of the solar panel is 16%, how much electrical energy will it deliver in one hour? b) If this energy is stored in a battery, how long will it keep a 100 W incandescent lightbulb burning if the bulb has an efficiency of 2.6%. (Efficiency of the lightbulb is the light out - - 100 W - to the electrical power in.)
Assume that the efficiency of the portable solar panel shown in the figure is 19%.(a)(a)What is the amount of solar radiation required to provide rated output power?(b)(b)The camper connects the panel to a hot water heater in a 1L water container in sunlight according to (a). How long does it take to raise the temperature of this water from 1 degree Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius? Suppose there is no heat loss.
