Chapter 1, Problem 1.6P
For the business whose monthly electrical energy use in described in Problem 1-5, estimate the average rate of energy use in kw, assuming it uses energy only from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday in a 31-day month. Assume that the month starts on a Monday to give 22 working days that month. Calculate the ratio of the peak demand set during that month to the average rate of energy use. What reasons would likely cause the ratio to be high?

An electric hot water heater consumes 3.1 kilowatts of electricity and converts it to heat. How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem.
Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).

Compare the coal throughputs for a small-scale experiment that uses 10 mg of coal in 6 seconds, and a single boiler in a large commercial-scale central-station electric generating plant. Assume: the commercial facility has a total output of 1,020 MW e supplied by three boilers of equal capacity; the boiler has a heat rate of (8,980 Btu th /hr)/(kW e ) based on fuel HHV, and fires coal with a gross heating value (i.e., HHV) of 14,000 Btu th /lb.arrow_forward
