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: 5.36×10-3kg/h

Where 10-3 is 10 exponential 3 or 10 raised to the power of -3.

Explanation:using the formula

M =JAt = -DAt×Dc/Dx

Where D is change in the respective variables. Insulting the values we get,

=5.1 × 10-8 × 0.13 × 3600 × 2.9 × 0.31 / 4×10-3.

=5.36×10-3kg/h

Regeneration can only increase the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than the worki
storchak [24]

Answer:

True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.

Option: A

<u>Explanation: </u>

To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>

<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor. </em>
