Chapter 1, Problem 1.6P
For the business whose monthly electrical energy use in described in Problem 1-5, estimate the average rate of energy use in kw, assuming it uses energy only from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday in a 31-day month. Assume that the month starts on a Monday to give 22 working days that month. Calculate the ratio of the peak demand set during that month to the average rate of energy use. What reasons would likely cause the ratio to be high?

An electric motor's torque is a function of the speed at which it rotates. Many brushed
AC motors have a linear toque curve as shown below. If the power output of the motor
is equal to the torque (T) multiplied by the rotational speed in rad/s (w), what is the
maximum power you can get out of the motor if the stall torque (Tstall) is 0.001 Nm and
the no load speed (wno load) of 14,332 RPM? Give your answer in Watts.
There are two ways to solve this: Use a stall torque and no load speed and plot the
torque profile below and then plot the power versus rotational speed to find the
maximum. The second method is to determine the mathematical relationship for power
given the information at the start of the question and set the differential of power with
respect to RPM equal to zero, and solve for the RPM to get the maximum.

- 4) One measure of the scale of a process is its throughputs of fuel or other input raw materials, e.g., lbs of coal per hour. Compare the coal throughputs for a small-scale experiment that uses 10 mg of coal in 6 seconds, and a single boiler in a large commercial-scale central-station electric generating plant. Assume: the commercial facility has a total output of 1,020 MW e supplied by three boilers of equal capacity; the boiler has a heat rate of (8,980 Btu th /hr)/(kW e ) based on fuel HHV, and fires coal with a gross heating value (i.e., HHV) of 14,000 Btu th /lb.arrow_forward2.
