You are considering building a residential wind power system to produce 6,000 kWh of electricity each year. The installed cost o

f the system is $1.50/Winstalled. The system is estimated to have a capacity factor of 22% and a 10 year life. The interest rate is 8% with an operations and maintenance cost of $0.04/kWhgenerated. What is the leveled cost of electricity for the system ($/kWh)?

Answer:

leveled cost of electricity LCOE is 0.1159/kwh

Explanation:

given data:

installation cost of system = $1.50/winstalled

capacity factor = 22%

life = 10 year

rate of interest 8%

operation and maintenance cost = $0.04 / kwh generated

capcaitence recovery factorCRF = \frac{i(i+1)^n}{(i+1)^n -1}

i= rate of interest

n = annuity period

CRF = \frac{0.08(1+0.08)^10}}{(1+0.08)^{10} -1} = 0.14903

LCOE = \frac{cost\ of \installation \times CRF}{hours/ available \times capacity\ factor} + variable\ o&M\ cost

=  \frac{1.50\times 1000/kw \times 0.14903}{8760\times 0.22} + 0.04/kwh

          = 0.1159/kwh + 0.04 /kwh

          = 0.1559 /kwh

- Viscoelastic stress relaxation
My name is Ann [436]

Explanation:

The correct answers to the fill in the blanks would be;

1. Viscoelastic stress relaxation refers to scenarios for which the stress applied to a polymer must decay over time in order to maintain a constant strain. Otherwise, over time, the polymer chains will slip and slide past one another in response to a constant applied load and the strain will increase (in magnitude).

2. Viscoelastic creep refers to scenarios for which a polymer will permanently flow over time in response a constant applied stress.

The polymer whose properties have been mentioned above is commonly known as Kevlar.

It is mostly used in high-strength fabrics and its properties are because of several hydrogen bonds between polymer molecules.

Consider a cubic workpiece of rigid perfect plastic material with side length lo. The cube is deformed plastically to the shape
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:  ε₁+ε₂+ε₃ = 0

Explanation: Considering the initial and final volume to be constant which gives rise to the relation:-

                         l₀l₀l₀=l₁l₂l₃

                        \frac{lo*lo*lo}{l1*l2*l3}=1.0

                      taking natural log on both sides

                              ln(\frac{(lo*lo*lo)}{l1*l2*l3})=ln(1)

Considering the logarithmic Laws of division and multiplication :

                                ln(AB) = ln(A)+ln(B)

                                ln(A/B) = ln(A)-ln(B)

                           ln(\frac{(l1)}{lo})*ln(\frac{(l2)}{lo})*ln(\frac{(l3)}{lo}) = 0

Use the image attached to see the definition of true strain defined as

                         ln(l1/1o)= ε₁

which then proves that ε₁+ε₂+ε₃ = 0

The melting point of Pb (lead) is 327°C, is the processing at 20°C hot working or cold working?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Cold working: It is plastic deformation of material at temperature below   recrystallization temperature. whereas hot working is deforming material above the recrystallization temperature.

Given melting point temp of lead is 327° C and lead recrystallizes at about

0.3 to 0.5 times melting temperature which will be higher that 20°C. Hence we can conclude that at 20°C lead will under go cold working only.
