What is the Crude Oil equivalent?
Hello, I need some help with my civil engineer homework. I am stuck on the last question
Electricity (See your home electricity bill)
1) You can obtain the daily kilowatt-hour, kWh, use for your home from the electricity bill. This is
presented differently from utility to utility. What is your monthly electricity use?
1,186 kWh
2) Use 30 days equal to one month to find the average daily electric use.
Daily amount: 39.53 kWh (I divided 1,186/30)
3) How many members are in your household?: 4 people
4) Your personal share is obtained by dividing the daily amount (above) by the number of people
(house members) in the household: 9.88 kWh
5) Add 1.6 kWh for electric use at work, in the office, or here at QCC. The total daily electric use for
you equals.
personal share + 1.6 kWh =11.48 kWh
What is the Crude Oil equivalent?
*With electricity, 1 gallon of crude oil produces 15kWh of electricity. Divide your answer into
crude oil conversion factor, 15 kWh, to obtain the crude oil equivalent.
Crude oil equivalent = ____________gallon (I am stuck here)
