Eight energy corporations made plans to increase their combined spending on efficiency programs to $50 million per year for the

next 8 years as a response to global warming initiatives set by the government. What is the future worth of total investments at the end of 8 years at an interest rate of 8% per year?

Answer:

F=531831381

Explanation:

There are two  ways of doing this question:

1) By Formula

2) By Using  Compound interest Table

By Formula:

F=A*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}

Where:

F is future value

A is annual amount per year

i is interest rate

n is number of years

F=50 million*\frac{(1+0.08)^{8}-1}{0.08}

F=531831381

By Using  Compound interest Table:

F=A(F/A,i,n)

From Table F/A at i=8% and n=8 is 10.6366

F=50000000*(10.6366)

F=531830000≅531831381

The difference in two answers is due to decimal points if you take value from table to greater decimal points you will get the exact answer as by using formula.

Which sentence is correct about the exergy of an empty (pressure around zero Pascal) tank with a volume of V, located in an envi
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c.  the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the tank = V

The pressure in the tank = 0 Pascal

The pressure of the surrounding = P₀

The temperature of the surrounding = T₀

Exergy is a measure of the amount of a given energy which a system posses that is extractable to provide useful work. It is possible work that brings about equilibrium. It is the potential the system has to bring about change

The exergy balance equation  is given as follows;

X_2 - X_1 = \int\limits^2_1 {} \, \delta Q \left (1 - \dfrac{T_0}{T} \right ) - [W - P_0 \cdot (V_2 - V_1)]- X_{destroyed}

Where;

X₂ - X₁ is the difference between the two exergies

Therefore, the exergy of the system with regards to the environment is the work received from the environment which at is equal to done on the system by the surrounding which by equilibrium for an empty tank with 0 pressure is equal to the product of the pressure of the surrounding and the volume of the empty tank or P₀ × V less the work, exergy destroyed, while taking into consideration the change in heat of the system

Therefore, the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V.

A counter-flow double pipe heat exchanger is heat heat water from 20 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius at the rate of 1.2 kg
lakkis [162]

Answer:

L=107.6m

Explanation:

Cold water in: m_{c}=1.2kg/s, C_{c}=4.18kJ/kg\°C, T_{c,in}=20\°C, T_{c,out}=80\°C

Hot water in: m_{h}=2kg/s, C_{h}=4.18kJ/kg\°C, T_{h,in}=160\°C, T_{h,out}=?\°C

D=1.5cm=0.015m, U=649W/m^{2}K, LMTD=?\°C, A_{s}=?m^{2},L=?m

Step 1: Determine the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger

Q=m_{c}C_{c}(T_{c,out}-T_{c,in})

Q=1.2*4.18*(80-20)

Q=1.2*4.18*(80-20)

Q=300.96kW

Step 2: Determine outlet temperature of hot water

Q=m_{h}C_{h}(T_{h,in}-T_{h,out})

300.96=2*4.18*(160-T_{h,out})

T_{h,out}=124\°C

Step 3: Determine the Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD)

dT_{1}=T_{h,in}-T_{c,out}

dT_{1}=160-80

dT_{1}=80\°C

dT_{2}=T_{h,out}-T_{c,in}

dT_{2}=124-20

dT_{2}=104\°C

LMTD = \frac{dT_{2}-dT_{1}}{ln(\frac{dT_{2}}{dT_{1}})}

LMTD = \frac{104-80}{ln(\frac{104}{80})}

LMTD = \frac{24}{ln(1.3)}

LMTD = 91.48\°C

Step 4: Determine required surface area of heat exchanger

Q=UA_{s}LMTD

300.96*10^{3}=649*A_{s}*91.48

A_{s}=5.07m^{2}

Step 5: Determine length of heat exchanger

A_{s}=piDL

5.07=pi*0.015*L

L=107.57m

Many radios can be operated either by plugging them into the wall or by using batteries. How can a radio use either source of cu
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The electric current from the batteries installed in a radio supplies direct current (DC) electricity to the radio components directly as an alternative source to the Alternating Current (AC) converted to DC by the power unit located at the radio end of the cable plugged into the wall outlet.

Explanation:

Part of the power unit in a radio includes an AC to DC converter, which is an electrical circuit that is able to convert the alternating current power input from the wall outlet into a direct current output to the radio with which the radio can work

The alternative source of electric current from the batteries installed in a radio bypasses the AC to DC converter and supplies power directly to the radio so it can also work.

Refrigerant 134a enters an air conditioner compressor at 4 bar, 20 C, and is compressed at steady state to 12 bar, 80 C. The vol
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Q=15.7Kw

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Pressure P_1=4bar

Initial Temperature T_1=20 C

Final Pressure  P_2=12 bar

Final Temperature T_2=80C

Work Output W= 60 kJ/kg

Generally Specific Energy from table is

At initial state

 P_1=4bar \& T_1=20 C

 E_1=262.96KJ/Kg

With

Specific Volume V'=0.05397m^3/kg

At Final state

 P_2=12 bar \& P_2=80C

 E_1=310.24KJ/Kg

Generally the equation for The Process is mathematically given by

 m_1E_1+w=m_2E_2+Q

Assuming Mass to be Equal

 m_1=m_1

Where

 m=\frac{V}{V'}

 m=frac{0.06666}{V'=0.05397m^3/kg}

 m=1.24

Therefore

 1.24*262.96+60)=1.24*310.24+Q

 Q=15.7Kw
