A homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time. Determine the average cost per k

Wh for the month using the following residential rate schedule: Base monthly charge of $10.00. First 100 kWh per month at 16 cents/kWh. Next 200 kWh per month at 10 cents/kWh. Over 300 kWh per month at 6 cents/kWh.

Answer:

16.2 cents

Explanation:

Given that a homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time.

Where Base monthly charge of $10.00. First 100 kWh per month at 16 cents/kWh. Next 200 kWh per month at 10 cents/kWh. Over 300 kWh per month at 6 cents/kWh.

For the first 100 kWh:

16 cent × 100 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

For the remaining energy:

260 - 100 = 160 kwh

10 cents × 160 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

The total cost = 10 + 16 + 16 = 42 dollars

Note that the base monthly of 10 dollars is added.

The cost of 260 kWh of energy consumption in July is 42 dollars

To determine the average cost per kWh for the month of July, divide the total cost by the total energy consumed.

That is, 42 / 260 = 0.1615 dollars

Convert it to cents by multiplying the result by 100.

0.1615 × 100 = 16.15 cents

Approximately 16.2 cents

A bridge to be fabricated of steel girders is designed to be 500 m long and 12 m wide at ambient temperature (assumed 20°C). Exp
Volgvan

Answer:

a) 22.5number

b) 22.22 m length

Explanation:

Given data:

Bridge length = 500 m

width of bridge = 12 m

Maximum temperature = 40 degree C

minimum temperature  = - 35 degree C

Maximum expansion can be determined as

\Delta L = L \alpha (T_{max} - T_{min})

where , \alpha is expansion coefficient = 12\times 10^{-6} degree C

SO, \Delta L = 500\times 12\times 10^{-6}\times ( 40 - (-35))

\Delta L = 0.45 m = 450 mm

number of minimum expansion joints is calculated as

n = \frac{450}{20} = 22.5

b) length of each bridge

Length = \frac{500}{22.5} = 22.22 m

A Carnot cooler operates with COP = 11, whose ambient temperature is 300K. Determine the temperature at which the refrigerator a
SashulF [63]

Answer:

275 Kelvin

Explanation:

Coefficient of Performance=11

T_H=\text {Absolute Temperature of high temperature reservoir=300 K}

T_L=\text {Absolute Temperature of low temperature reservoir}

\text {Coefficient of performance for carnot cooler}\\=\frac {T_L}{T_H-T_L}\\\Rightarrow 11=\frac{T_L}{300-T_L}\\\Rightarrow 11(300-T_L)=T_L\\\Rightarrow 3300-11T_L=T_L\\\Rightarrow 3300=T_L+11T_L\\\Rightarrow 3300=12T_L\\\Rightarrow T_L=\frac {3300}{12}\\\Rightarrow T_L=275\ K\\\Therefore \text{Temperature at which the refrigerator absorbs heat=275 Kelvin}

A two-dimensional flow field described by

Answer:

the answer is

Explanation:

<h2>  We now focus on purely two-dimensional flows, in which the velocity takes the form </h2><h2>u(x, y, t) = u(x, y, t)i + v(x, y, t)j. (2.1) </h2><h2>With the velocity given by (2.1), the vorticity takes the form </h2><h2>ω = ∇ × u = </h2><h2> </h2><h2>∂v </h2><h2>∂x − </h2><h2>∂u </h2><h2>∂y </h2><h2>k. (2.2) </h2><h2>We assume throughout that the flow is irrotational, i.e. that ∇ × u ≡ 0 and hence </h2><h2>∂v </h2><h2>∂x − </h2><h2>∂u </h2><h2>∂y = 0. (2.3) </h2><h2>We have already shown in Section 1 that this condition implies the existence of a velocity </h2><h2>potential φ such that u ≡ ∇φ, that is </h2><h2>u = </h2><h2>∂φ </h2><h2>∂x, v = </h2><h2>∂φ </h2><h2>∂y .
