A coal fired power plant geneartes 2.4 lbs. of CO2 per kWh. A lighting system consumes 300,000kWh per year. A corporation is con

cerned with its carbon footprint and accepts a value of $25 per ton to account for societal costs.
What is their perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by this lighting system?

Answer:

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

Explanation:

The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh)(300,000 KWh)

Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb)(1 ton/ 2204.62 lb)

Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

Economic Impact = ($25 / ton)(326.59 ton)

<u>Economic Impact = $8164.67</u>

One kilogram of water fills a 150 L rigid container at an initial pressure of 2MPa. The container is cooled to 40 oC. Find the i
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The initial temperature is 649 K (376 °C).

The final pressure is 0.965 MPa

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P is the initial pressure of water = 2 MPa = 2×10^6 Pa

V is intial volume = 150 L = 150/1000 = 0.15 m^3

n is the number of moles of water in the container = mass/MW = 1000 g/18 g/mol = 55.6 mol

R is gas constant = 8.314 m^3.Pa/mol.K

T (initial temperature) = PV/nR = (2×10^6 × 0.15)/(55.6 × 8.314) = 649 K = 649 - 273 = 376 °C

From pressure law,

P1/T1 = P2/T2

P2 (final pressure) = P1T2/T1

T2 (final temperature) = 40 °C = 40 + 273 = 313 K

P1 (initial pressure) = 2 MPa

T1 (initial temperature) = 649 K

P2 = 2 × 313/649 = 0.965 MPa

What are the four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They  have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat
