Consider the system described in the news: at night, when there is energy left, water is pumped from a large lake to a reservoir at 80 m above the lake level. During the day, this water is used to generate energy in a turbine located 80 m below the elevated reservoir. Considering that the water flow is always 5000 liters/s (both at the inlet of the reservoir and at the outlet) and that the pump and turbine efficiencies are 70%, what is the power (in kW) required by the pump and the power (in kW) recovered in the turbine.

Awindow air conditioner is rated at 5,170 Btu. It uses 470 watts of power. Whatis this unit’s EER?arrow_forwardReplacing incandescent lights with energy-efficient fluorescent lights can reduce the lighting energy consumption to one-fourth of what it was before. The energy consumed by the lamps is eventually converted to heat, and thus switching to energy-efficient lighting also reduces the cooling load in summer but increases the heating load in winter. Consider a building that is heated by a natural gas furnace with an efficiency of 80 percent and cooled by an air conditioner with a COP of 3.5. If electricity costs $0.12/kWh and natural gas costs $1.40/therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ), determine if efficient lighting will increase or decrease the total energy cost of the building (a) in summer and (b) in winter.arrow_forward

For problem above, calculate how much CO2 in grams is emitted to the atmosphere. For a: Use the balanced equation for the combustion of methane (CH4) to determine how many grams of CO2are produced from the amount of natural gas required. For b: Assume that coal produces 5.25 kJ of energy per gram of CO2 produced. Calculate how much CO2 in grams is produced.arrow_forward
- You are considering purchasing a compact washing machine, and you have the following information: • The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly electricity use of 350 kW-hrs, based on 8 loads of laundry being washed per week. • The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly operating cost of $38. This estimate is based on $0.1065 per kW-hr, and eight loads of laundry being washed per week. • Local electricity costs $0.086 per kW-hr. • You wash four loads of laundry per week. Based on this information, first calculate the energy that would be used by this compact washing machine in a year. Then calculate the yearly energy cost. $3.27 $15.34 $19.00 $178.40arrow_forwardI need helparrow_forwardConsider a 400-MW, 32 percent efficient coal-fired power plant that uses cooling water withdrawn from a nearby river (with an upstream flow of 10-m3/s and temperature 20 °C) to take care of waste heat. The heat content of the coal is 8,000 Btu/lb, the carbon content is 60% by mass, and the sulfur content is 2% by mass. How much electricity (in kWh/yr) would the plant produce each year? How many pounds per hour of coal would need to be burned at the plant? Estimate the annual carbon emissions from the plant (in metric tons C/year). If the cooling water is only allowed to rise in temperature by 10 °C, what flow rate (in m3/s) from the stream would be required? What would be the river temperature if all the waste heat was transferred to the river water assuming no heat losses during transfer? Estimate the hourly SO2 emissions (in kg/h) from the plant assuming that all the sulfur is oxidized to SO2 during combustion.arrow_forward
