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

2. What is the original length of the rectangular bar if the deformation is 0.005 in with a force of 1000 lbs and an area of 0.7
Ugo [173]

Answer:

18.75in

Explanation:

Modulus of elasticity = Stress/Strain

Since stress = Force/Area

Given

Force = 1000lb

Area = 0.75sqin

Stress = 1000/0.75

Stress = 1333.33lbsqin

Strain

Strain = Stress/Modulus of elasticity

Strain = 1333.33/5,000,000

Strain = 0.0002667

Also

Strain = extension/original length

extension = 0.005in

Original length = extension/strain

Original length = 0.005/0.0002667

Original length = 18.75in

Hence the original length of the rectangular bar is 18.75in

A vertical pole consisting of a circular tube of outer diameter 127 mm and inner diameter 115 mm is loaded by a linearly varying
Anna [14]

Maximum shear stress in the pole is 0.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Outer diameter = 127 mm

Outer radius,r_{2} = 127/2 = 63.5 mm

Inner diameter = 115 mm

Inner radius, r_{1} = 115/2 = 57.5 mm

Force, q = 0

Maximum shear stress, τmax = ?

 τmax  = \frac{4q}{3\pi } (\frac{r2^2 + r2r1 + r1^2}{r2^4 - r1^4} )

If force, q is 0 then τmax is also equal to 0.

Therefore, maximum shear stress in the pole is 0.

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

<u>C = 1.16 J/g</u>
