it the minimum average power?
13. An energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb operating at power Pı = 28 W can produce the
same level of brightness as a conventional incandescent lightbulb operating at power P,
100 W. Lifetime of the energy-efficient bulb is T = 10000 h, and its purchase price is
B1 = $4.50. Lifetime of the conventional bulb is T2 = 750 h, and its purchase price is
B2 = $0.42. Suppose electrical energy costs R = $0.20/kWh, i.e. 20 cents per kilowatt-
hour. a) Calculate the total cost of using energy-efficient bulbs over 10,000 hours. b)
Calculate the total cost of using conventional bulbs over 10,000 hours. Note that you
must include both the cost of purchasing the bulbs and the cost of energy.
In a sunnier location than Eugene, the sun shines for an average of 2000 hours per year. A home owner installs solar panels that generate 3.5 kW from these panels when the sun is shining. If the local electric utility charges $0.15 per kWh, how much money do the solar panels save the home owner per year? Give the answer to the nearest dollar.
In Washington,
a solar panel facing
south angled at 15 degrees receives
0.5 (+/- 0.5) kWh/m^2/day in the
winter. Solar panels are 20% efficient.
Another 20% of power is lost due to
heat. A house uses 45 kW per day in
the winter. What is the minimum
number of panels needed?
