A 25-W compact fluorescent lightbulb (CFL) produces the light equivalent of a 100-W incandescent bulb. The population of North A

merica is estimated to be about 305 million. Estimate the amount of coal needed to light one 100-W incandescent lightbulb for each person for one year and the amount of coal that would be saved if each incandescent bulb were replaced with a CFL. Assume the coal has a NHV of 28.5 MJ · kg−1 and the power plants are 33% efficient.

Answer:

Coal required is 101 Teragram/year.

Coal saved is 25.25 Teragram/year.

Explanation:

1 Teragram is exactly 1000000000 kilograms.

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o
lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵  Ω  cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω  cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA

Exhaust gas from a furnace is used to preheat the combustion air supplied to the furnace burners. The gas, which has a flow rate
Monica [59]

Answer:

The total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K is 192.3 m²

Explanation:

Here we have the heat Q given as follows;

Q = 15 × 1075 × (1100 - t_{A2}) = 10 × 1075 × (850 - 300) = 5912500 J

∴ 1100 - t_{A2} = 1100/3

t_{A2}  = 733.33 K

\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{t_{A_{1}}+t_{A_{2}}}{2} - \frac{t_{B_{1}}+t_{B_{2}}}{2}

Where

\Delta \bar{t}_{a} = Arithmetic mean temperature difference

t_{A_{1} = Inlet temperature of the gas = 1100 K

t_{A_{2} = Outlet temperature of the gas = 733.33 K

t_{B_{1} =  Inlet temperature of the air = 300 K

t_{B_{2} = Outlet temperature of the air = 850 K

Hence, plugging in the values, we have;

\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{1100+733.33}{2} - \frac{300+850}{2} = 341\tfrac{2}{3} \, K = 341.67 \, K

Hence, from;

\dot{Q} = UA\Delta \bar{t}_{a}, we have

5912500  = 90 × A × 341.67

A = \frac{5912500  }{90 \times 341.67} = 192.3 \, m^2

Hence, the total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K = 192.3 m².

How to build a robot
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Seriously? Ok

first, get some good quality metal, preferably aluminum, if you want to avoid rust.

build in the the shape of a robot, you can use a doll to help you if you are a beginner, but feel free to shape it the a Star Wars Character!

create an AI (now you said robot not AI) and fix everything up.
