Consider a household that uses 23.8 kw-hour of electricity per day on average. (kw-hours is a measure of energy that will be discussed in detail in a later chapter. at this point we want to establish estimations.) most of that electricity is supplied by fossil fuels. to reduce their carbon footprint, the household wants to install solar panels, which receive on average 336 w/m2 from the sun each day. if the solar panels are 19.0% efficient (fraction of solar energy converted into useable electrical energy), what area of solar panels is needed to power the household

An open feedwater heater operates at steady state with liquid entering at inlet 1 with t? = 40°c and pl = 1 .2 mpa. water vapor att2-200°c and p2 = 1.2 mpa enters at inlet 2. saturated liquid water exits with a pressure of pa 1.2 mpa. neglect heat transfer with the surroundings and all kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of steam at inlet 2 if the mass flow rate of liquid water at inlet 1 is given as 2 kg/s.

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa. s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
