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.

Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter ???
Andrej [43]

We need to define the variables,

So,

F_x (x) = 1-e^{-\lambda x}\\F_x (x) = 1-e^{-0.5x}

Therefore, the probability that the repair time is more than 4 horus can be calculate as,

P(x>4)=1-P(x4)= 1-F_x(4)\\P(x>4) = 1-e^{-0.5*4}\\P(x>4) = 1-0.98\\P(x>4) = 0.018

The probability that the repair time is more than 4 hours is 0.136

b) The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hoirs is calculated as,

P(x\geq 12|x>7)=P(X\geq7+5|x>7)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=P(X\geq5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-P(x\leq 5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-e^{-0.5(2)}

P(x\geq 12|x>7)=0.6321

The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hours is 0.63

In the High Low Logic Index low levels are bearish and high levels are bullish, generally True False
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Logic index is selection of values based on the logical streams. The values appear on the logical array. The levels are determined on the market investment performance. If there are many buyers available in the market the index will be high and the market will be bullish. If there are few or no investors available the market index will be low which means the market is bearish.

technician a says that the higher the gear selected the more torque is available. technician b says that a transaxle contains ge
umka21 [38]

Technician A is correct. Technician B is wrong because a gear's transmission is used to increase or decrease torque.

The relation torque is relying on multiplying the circumferential detail with the resource of the usage of the radius; massive gears experience a greater amount of torque, at the same time as smaller gears experience a great deal much less torque. Similarly, the torque ratio is equal to the ratio of the gears' radii. A gear's transmission torque modifications as it will boom or decreases speed. Commonly, with the resource of the usage of lowering the speed, a small torque on the doorway issue is transferred as a massive torque at the output issue. The calculation of torque is quantified with the resource of the usage of an extensive form of teeth.

You have a motor such that if you give it 12 Volt, it will eventually reach a steady state speed of 200 rad/s. If it starts from
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) \frac{Ws}{Es}  = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}

b) attached below

c) type zero system

d) k > \frac{g}{200}

e) The gain K increases above % error as the  steady state speed increases

Explanation:

Given data:

Motor voltage  = 12 v

steady state speed = 200 rad/s

time taken to reach 63.2% = 1.2 seconds

<u>a) The transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed</u>

let ; \frac{K1}{1+St} be the transfer function of a motor

when i/p = 12v then steady state speed ( k1 ) = 200 rad/s , St ( time constant ) = 1.2 sec

hence the transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed

= \frac{Ws}{Es}  = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}

<u>b) draw the block diagram of the system with plant controller and the feedback path </u>

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

c) The system is a type-zero system because the pole at the origin is zero

d) ) k > \frac{g}{200}
