A house is maintained at a comfortable temperature by means of an electrical resistor heater during winter. The heater is operat

ed at a constant current (I) under an applied voltage of 110 V. For simplicity, let us assume that the heater operates at a steady state, with 100% of conversion efficiency from the electrical energy to the internal energy of air in the house. (a) (5p) Find I if the homeowner pays $8.80/day for heating, with electricity cost $0.09/kWh. (b) (5p) Calculate the heat produced by the heater in an hour.

Answer:

a)   I = 0.01029 A , b)   Q = 4074.05 J

Explanation:

a) Let's work in parts, let's start by looking for the energy consumed.

For this we use a rule of three or direct proportions if 1 kWh costs $ 0.09, how much kWh is $ 8.80

           Energy = 8.80 / 0.09

           Energy = 97,778 kWh

to calculate the current, we must have the energy consumed per second

           

Let's use a rule of three if 97,778 kWh were consumed in 24 h = 86,400 s how much was consumed in 1 s

            E₀ = 97.778 1/86400

            E₀ = 1.13168 Ws

           

the power consumed is

           P = E₀ / t

           P = 1.13168 / 1

           P = 1.13168 W

power is

           P = I V

           I = P / V

           I = 1.13168 / 110

           I = 0.01029 A

b) the heat is given by

     

           

as the efficiency is 100%

          E = P t = Q

          Q = 1.131368 3600

          Q = 4074.05 J

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

V =\pi r^2 h

Put the value into the formula

V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048

V= 22.23\m^3

V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

P=\dfrac{E}{V}

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}

P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

A moving object must have which type of energy
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. ... Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. For example, a flying squirrel might collide with a stationary chipmunk.
