A utility generates electricity with a 36% efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of 0.6 lb of SO2 per millio
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) 570 kWh of electricity will be saved

b) the amount of  SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c) $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved?

first, we determine the total power consumption by the incandescent lamp

P_{incandescent} = 75 w × 10,000-hr = 750000 wh = 750 kWh

next, we also find  the total power consumption by the fluorescent lamp

P_{fluorescent} = 18 × 10000 = 180000 = 180 kWh

So the value of power saved will be;

P_{saved} = P_{incandescent}  - P_{fluorescent}

P_{saved} = 750 - 180

P_{saved}  = 570 kWh

Therefore, 570 kWh of electricity will be saved.

now lets find the heat of electricity saved in Bituminous

heat saved = energy saved per CLF / efficiency of plant

given that; the utility has 36% efficiency

we substitute

heat saved =  570 kWh/CLF / 36%

we know that; 1 kilowatt (kWh) = 3,412 btu per hour (btu/h)

so

heat saved =  570 kWh/CLF / 0.36 × (3412 Btu / kW-hr (

heat saved = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

i.e eat of electricity saved per CLF is 5.4 × 10⁶

b) How many 2,000-lb tons of SO₂ would not be emitted

2000 lb/tons = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

0.6 lb SO₂ / million Btu = x

so

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ /  million Btu )] / 2000 lb/tons

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ )] / [ ( 10⁶) × ( 2000 lb/ton) ]

x = 3.24 × 10⁶ / 2 × 10⁹

x = 0.00162 ton/CLF

Therefore, the amount of  SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c)  If the utility can sell its rights to emit SO2 at $800 per ton, how much money could the utility earn by selling the SO2 saved by a single CFL?

Amount = ( SO₂ saved per CLF ) × ( rate per CFL )

we substitute

Amount = 0.00162 ton/CLF × $800

= $1.296

Therefore; $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL.

An industrial plant consists of several 60 Hz single-phase motors with low power factor. The plant absorbs 600 kW with a power f
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) Q=332 kvar and C=5.66 uF

(b) pf=0.90 lagging

Explanation:

Given Data:

P=600kW

V=12.47kV

f=60Hz

pf_{old} =0.75

pf_{new} =0.95

(a) Find the required kVAR rating of a capacitor

\alpha _{old}=cos^{-1}(0.75) =41.41°

\alpha _{new}=cos^{-1}(0.95) =18.19°

The required compensation reactive power can be found by

Q=P(tan(\alpha_{old}) - tan(\alpha_{new}))

Q=600(tan(41.41) - tan(18.19))

Q=332 kvar

The corresponding capacitor value can be found by

C=Q/2\pi fV^{2}

C=332/2*\pi *60*12.47^{2}

C=5.66 uF

(b) calculate the resultant supply power factor

First convert the hp into kW

P_{mech} =250*746=186.5 kW

Find the electrical power (real power) of the motor

P_{elec} =P_{mech}/n

where n is the efficiency of the motor

P_{elec} =186.5/0.80=233.125 kW

The current in the motor is

I_{m} =(P/\*V*pf)

The pf of motor is 0.85 Leading

Note that represents the angle in complex notation (polar form)

I_{m} =(233.125/12.47*0.85)

I_{m}=18.694+11.586j A

Now find the Load current

pf of load is 0.75 lagging (notice the minus sign)

I_{load} =(600/12.47*0.75)

I_{load} =48.115-42.433j A

Now the supply current is the current flowing in the load plus the current flowing in the motor

I_{supply} =I_{m} + I_{load}

I_{supply}= (18.694+11.586)+(48.115-42.433)

I_{supply} =66.809-30.847j A

or in polar form

I_{supply} =73.58°

Which means that the supply current lags the supply voltage by 24.78

therefore, the supply power factor is

pf=cos(24.78)=0.90 lagging

Which makes sense because original power factor was 0.75 then we installed synchronous motor which resulted in improved power factor of 0.90

In a 5V system if you were asked to take one input HIGH and another LOW what would you do (i.e. where would you connect them)?
dangina [55]

Answer:

HIGH from the supply voltage

LOW from ground

Explanation:

The answer depends on the kind of system and the purpose of the signal. But for practical reasons, in a DIGITAL system where 5V is HIGH and 0 V is LOW, 5 volts can be taken from the supply voltage (usually the same as high,  BUT must be verified), and the LOW signal from ground.

If the user has a multimeter, it must be set to continuous voltage on 0 to 20 V range.  Then place the probe in the ground of the circuit (must be a big copper area). Finally  leave one probe in the circuit ground and place the other probe in some test points to identify 5 v.

The minimum waste compaction ratio reported by the manufacturer of a high-pressure compaction machine is 8:1. What is the corres
Crank

Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

Compaction ratio= Volume before reduction/volume after reduction

Compaction ratio= 8/1

% reduction in volume= Volume after reduction/Volume before reduction× 100= 1/compaction ratio × 100

% reduction in volume= 1/(8/1) × 100

                                    =12.5
