Answer: $17,206.13

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:  

Annual electricity cost = (P x 0.746 x Ckwh x h) /η  

P = compressor power = 78 hp  

0.746 kw/hp= constant (conversion to kw)

Ckwh = Cost per kilowatt hour = $0.11/kWh  

h = operating hours per year = 2500 h  

η = efficiency = 93% = 0.93 (decimal form)  

Replacing with the values given :  

C = ( 78 hp x 0.746 kw/hp x 0.11 $/kwh x 2500 h ) / 0.93 = $17,206.13

A fuel cell vehicle draws 50 kW of power at 70 mph and is 40% efficient at rated power. You are asked to size the fuel cell syst
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

  a) fuel cell weight and volume: 50 kg, 33.3 L

  b) fuel tank weight and volume: 321 kg, 643 L

Explanation:

<u>Fuel Cell</u>

Delivery of 50 kW from a source with a power density of 1.5 kW/L requires a source that has a volume of ...

  (50 kW)/(1.5 kW/L) = 33.3 L

The weight of the power source is 1 kW/kg, so will be ...

  (50 kW)/(1 kW/kg) = 50 kg

__

<u>Fuel Tank</u>

400 miles at 70 mph will take (400/70) h ≈ 5.71429 h. In that time, the energy used by the vehicle power plant is ...

  (50 kW)(5.71429 h)(3600 s/h) = 1028.57 MJ

Since the power plant is 40% efficient, it must be supplied with 2.5 times that amount of energy, or 2571.43 MJ.

The tank volume and mass will then be ...

  volume = 2571.43 MJ/(4 MJ/L) = 642.9 L

  mass = 2571.43 MJ/(8 MJ/L) = 321.4 kg

_____

<em>Comment on fuel tank volume</em>

It appears the fuel tank would need to be equivalent in size to a sphere about 1.1 m in diameter.

Determine the combined moment about O due to the weight of the mailbox and the cross member AB. The mailbox weighs 3.2 lb and th
koban [17]

Answer:

Attached is the complete question but the weight of the mailbox and cross bar differs from the given values which are : weight of mail box = 3.2 Ib, weight of the uniform cross member = 10.3 Ib

Answer : moment of inertia = 186.7 Ib - in

Explanation:

Given data

weight of the mailbox = 3.2 Ib

weight of the uniform cross member = 10.3 Ib

The origin is of mailbox and cross member is 0

The perpendicular distance from Y axis of centroid of the mailbox

= 4 + (25/2) = 16.5"

The centroid of the bar =( ( 1 + 25 + 4 + 4 ) / 2 ) - 4  = 13"

therefore The moment of Inertia( Mo) = (3.2 * 16.5) + ( 10.3 * 13)

                                     = 52.8 + 133.9 = 186.7 Ib-in

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

62.14\ \text{miles}

6213727.37\ \text{miles}

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = 10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}

Volume of the metal = 1000\ \text{mm}^3

10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}

1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}

\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}

The chain would extend 62.14\ \text{miles}

Dislocation density = 10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}

Volume of the metal = 1000\ \text{mm}^3

10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}

\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}

The chain would extend 6213727.37\ \text{miles}
