Consider a 2.4-kW hooded electric open burner in an area where the unit costs of electricity and natural gas are $0.10/kWh and $

1.20/therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ), respectively. The efficiency of open burners can be taken to be 73 percent for electric burners and 38 percent for gas burners. Determine the rate of energy consumption and the unit cost of utilized energy for both electric and gas burners.

Answer:

1.75 kW

$0.137 kWh

4.61 kW

$3.16 therm

Explanation:

Utilized power input of the burner is

P(ui) = total power input * efficiency

P(ui) = 2400 W * 0.73

P(ui) = 1752 W or 1.75 kW

Unit cost of utilized energy is

C(ui) = Unit cost of electricity/efficiency

C(ui) = $0.1 / 0.73 kWh

C(ui) = $0.137 kWh

Power input to the gas burner is

P(gi) = Utilized power input of the burner / efficiency of the burner

P(gi) = 1.75 / 0.38

P(gi) = 4.61 kW

Unit cost of utilized energy is

C(gi) = Unit cost of gas /efficiency

C(gi) = $1.2 / 0.38 kWh

C(gi) = $3.16 therm

why is the thermal conductivity of super insolation order of magnitude lower than the thermal conductivity of ordinary insulatio
Anni [7]

Answer:

Super insulation are obtained by using layers of highly reflective sheets separated by glass fibers in an vacuumed space. Radiation heat transfer between any of the surfaces is inversely proportional to the number of sheets used and thus heat lost by radiation will be very low by using these highly reflective sheets which will an effective way of heat transfer.

Determine the hydraulic radius for the following rectangular open channel width =23m water depth =3m
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

2.379m

Explanation:

The width = 23m

The depth = 3m

The radius is denoted as R

The wetted area is = A

The perimeter perimeter = P

Hydraulic radius

R = A/P

The area of a rectangular channel

= Width multiplied by Depth

A = 23x3

A = 69m²

Perimeter = (2x3)+23

P = 6+23

P= 29

Hydraulic radius R = 69/29

= 2.379m

This answers the question
