- Question 6 Compare the carbon emissions per MJ to heat household water using the following two energy systems: a) A 25% efficient coal-fired power plant delivering electricity to a 99% efficient electric water heater. Assume LHV carbon intensity of coal is 25.8 gC/MJ. b) A new 50% efficient natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant to a 99% efficient electric water heater. You must calculate the LHV carbon intensity of natural gas. Assume 100% methane and ideal conditions. Assume 5% losses in electrical transmission lines and 90 MJ of fuel input to each system.arrow_forwardHow do you determine how much it will cost for electricity per year for the Nissan Leafarrow_forward1.

The distance between the above two cities (Tikrit and Baghdad) is 160 km, and he always drive in average velocity which is about 75 mile per hour. Determine the time that he should start driving from Baghdad if you know that the first lecture begins at 8:30 a.m Hint: one mile is almost equal to 1.6 kmarrow_forward4. How does an air bag protect a driver during an accident? It reduces the kinetic energy loss of the driver. I It reduces the momentum change of the driver. It increases the momentum change of the driver. It shortens the stopping time of the driver and increases the force applied during the accident. It lengthens the stopping time of the driver and reduces the force applied during the accident.arrow_forward

The conversion costs $4,000. The ROI is 12%. The cargo van is able to load twice as many as the passenger van does, therefore it could run half as many miles as the passenger van does. The mileage per year for the passenger van is 21,000 miles. The fuel mileage is 15 miles per gallon for the passenger van and 10 miles per gallon for the cargo van. The cost per gas is $3 per gallon. The van is expected to be kept for 4 years. Is this converting project good one?arrow_forward
