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?

- XYZ Company Ltd has consulted your firm Zig-Zag Energy over an intention to generate electricity in Ghana. Being the senior project engineer for Zig-Zag Energy, management has asked you to prepare a detailed technical report in respect to the project. a) Discuss the major factors to take into consideration when consulting on such projects. A tank containing air is stirred by a paddle wheel. The work input to the paddle wheels is 2000KJ and the heat transferred to the surrounding from the tank is 6000KJ. b) Determine the change in the internal energy of the system There has been a sharp differences between the board of Blue-Blue Energy over which of the energy sources (hydroelectric power plant-HEP and Coal fired plant) is best for power generation. As an energy expert, you were confronted by the debating faction for your opinion. You…arrow_forwardShow Complete Solutionarrow_forwardGood day. I am trying to review for examinations and require assistance for these questions... Thermal Energy: Find BTE and ITE using the BHP AND IHP that you have calculated for number 4 and number 5. Assume you have a gasoline that burns for 7 gal/hr with a heat value of 18000 BTU Mechanical Efficiency: Find the Mechanical Efficiency of an engine with a 6-cylinder engine which a bore of 6.28 inches and a stroke of 3.5 inches with an IMEP of 400 psi and BMEP of 300 psi at 1825 rpm. Volumetric Efficiency: What is the volumetric efficiency of a four-cylinder aircraft engine which has a bore of 4 inches and a length of stroke of 6 inches and 30 cu in. volume of charge **Would appreciate a detailed explanation.

- Please show work , Don't copy.arrow_forward4) One measure of the scale of a process is its throughputs of fuel or other input raw materials, e.g., lbs of coal per hour. 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_forwardFor the following hydraulic circuit, we want to move a load of 2512 lb at a speed of 250 in/min.

- The M–N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weeklymarket demands are shown in the following diagram. Each product uses raw materialswith costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performsdifferent tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time.Process times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available2,400 minutes per week. There are no “Murphys” (major opportunities for the system tofoul up). Setup and transfer times are zero. Demand is constant.Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materialsare not included in weekly operating expenses.a. Where is the constraint in this plant?b.
