An urban county with an area of 1,000 mile² has an estimated 18 million miles of vehicular
traffic per day and has a large power plant. The power plant produces 350 MW of electricity
at an efficiency of 39%, burning 10,000 Btu/lb coal. The vehicle emission factor for VOCs is
6 grams/mile; the coal-fired boiler emission factor for VOCs is 1.4 lb/ton coal; biogenic
emission of VOCs is 0.4 kg/km²-hr on the average. Determine the total emissions of VOCs in
tons/day from all sources (mobile, power plant, and biogenic).

- For automobile, gasoline is a complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbon blended for use in spark-ignition engines. Every time fuel is burned, the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2), the natural end product of combustion. If we approximate the chemical formula for gasoline by the compound octane (C8H18) with a density of 739 grams/liter, the stoichiometric reaction for complete combustion is: C8H18 + 12.5O2 8CO2 + 9H2O Thus, for every mole of C8H18 fuel that is burned, eight moles of CO2 are produced, along with nine moles of water vapor. Estimate the CO2 emission in grams per mile for a car getting 12 km/liter of gasoline.arrow_forwardDesign a full-wave rectifier power supply using a 9.52:1 transformer. Assume that the outlet is120 V rms @ 60 Hz. Further assume that the diode turn-on voltage V D(on) is 0.7 V. Pick the valueof CL such that vo has a maximum ripple of 1 V p-p . Solve for the average value of vo = Vo (notethat this may be greater than 12 V) and iD(ave) = ID.arrow_forwardLight-emitting diodes (LEDs) are diodes made with III-V compound semiconductor materials such as aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs), aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP) or indium gallium nitride (InGaN), instead of silicon. The LEDs emit light when the device is operated under forward bias. LEDs of different colors have different turn-on voltages VD(on). For example: VD(on) : Red: ~ 1.6 V Yellow: ~ 1.7 V Green: ~ 1.8 V Blue: ~ 2.8 V White: ~ 3.8 V (a) Model these five LEDs with a simplified piecewise linear model (b) A rule of thumb is that it takes about 1 mA of current to “light” an LED while ~ 10 mA is needed for it to appear bright. Use the piecewise linear model for the LEDs, for the over-voltage indicator circuit to the right, find the values of Vin which will cause D1 or D2 to light (i.e. when ID1 or ID2 exceeds 1 mA).arrow_forward
