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

n Btus of heat into the plant. Suppose the utility encourages its customers to replace their 75-W incandescents with 18-W compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that produce the same amount of light. Over the 10,000-hr lifetime of a single CFL.
Required:
a. How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved?
b. How many 2,000-lb tons of SO2 would not be emitted?
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?

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.

ehidna [41]

Answer: a. 0.4667

b. 0.4667 and C 0.0667

Explanation:

Given Data:

N = population size (10)

n = random selection (2)

r = number of observations = 7

Therefore

f(y) = ( r/y ) ( N - r / n - y ) / ( N /n )

When y = 1

f(1) = ( 7/1 ) ( 10 - 7 / 2 -1 ) / ( 10/2 )

= 7 / 15

= 0.4667

When y = 2

f(2) = ( 7/2 ) ( 10 - 7 / 2 -2 ) / ( 10/2 )

= 7 / 15

= 0.4667

When y = 0

f(0) = ( 7/0 ) ( 10 - 7 / 2 -0) / ( 10/2 )

= 1 / 15

= 0.0667
