A city has 3,400,000 capita and current domestic demand is 185 liter/capita/day. The population average increase is 20,000 capita per decade; and the increase is also estimated as 1.35%. The average consumption of water increases by 22% in summer and decreases by 18% in winter. There are industrial and commercial activities in this city. Forecast future population by two methods. Calculate the average domestic demand for this city after 50 years in normal, summer and winter days. Estimate the firefighting demand. Then calculate total average water demand. Finally determine the maximum hourly and maximum daily demands.
Over the past 30 years, the government has offered a wide variety of incentives for people to install alternative energy devices such as solar collectors or wind power generators. In many cases, these incentives can reduce peoples' out-of pocket costs for such devices to less than one-third of their actual market price. What effect do such subsidies have on the adoption of such alternative technologies? Is this the best way to foster such alternatives? How might the fact that a particular technology is subsidized affect whether peoples' choices of technologies are efficient in the sense described in Figure?

• 1 million people in Hong Kong using low-flush toilet and low-flow shower head.• 1 million leaky toilet and Faucet. Find1. How much energy we can save?2. How much coal (Kg) we can save?3. How much CO2 we can reduce?4. How many African children (1 liter/kid/day) we can support? Energy needed to treat water1. Average energy use for water treatment drawn from southern California studies is 652 kWh per acre-foot (AF), where one AF = 325,853 gallons. Thermal Energy in Coal2. The thermal power plants consume about 0.45 kg of coal per kWh. Energy output/fire power plant3. A typical 500 megawatt coal power plant produces 3.5 billion kWh per year. CO2 Emission4. Taking coal to contain 50 percent carbon, which combines with oxygen during burning to form CO2, we can arrive at 1.83 kg CO2 for every 1 kg of coal burned.
You are the manager of a large crude-oil refinery. As part of the refining process, a certain heat exchanger (operated at high temperatures and with abrasive material flowing through it) must be replaced every year. The replacement and downtime cost in the first year is $165,000. This cost is expected to increase due to inflation at a rate of 9% per year for five years (i.e. until the EOY 6), at which time this particular heat exchanger will no longer be needed. If the company's cost of capital is 18% per year, how much could you afford to spend for a higher quality heat exchanger so that these annual replacement and downtime costs could be eliminated?

During a camping trip, you see a 30-cm-diameter plastic pipe carrying water from a high reservoir to a stream in the valley. The difference in height between the reservoir's free surface and the stream is 70 meters. You come up with the concept of using this water to generate electricity. Create a power plant that gets the greatest electricity out of this resource. Also, look at the impact of electricity production on water discharge rates. What discharge rate produces the most power?
In 2016, about 30 million tons of combustible municipal solid waste (MSW) was generated in the United States. One ton of MSW burned in waste-to-energy plants in the United States, generated about 474 kWh of electricity. If the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,399 kilowatthours (kWh). How many households could use this amount of electricity?
