Total Energy Consumption

The term energy consumption signifies the consumption of electricity. Energy consumption as electricity is a primary demand for households, factories, industries, complexes, and commercial places. According to a report, the total U.S. energy consumption for 2018 was 101 BTU (British Thermal Units). It accounted for 17% of the total energy consumption of the world. The total energy demand for the U.S. as oil equivalent was estimated to be about 6804 kg of oil equivalent.

It has been suggested that carbon dioxide emissions should be taxed at $30 per metric ton (106 g C). Removal of CO2 from the atmosphere would be worth the same amount. Assume that the atmospheric mixing ratio of CO2 is 400 ppm. What is the value of the carbon in 1 cubic kilometer (km3) of air at Earth’s surface?

Many actions involve the use of diesel construction machines that release SO2 to the air. An action will release three sources of SO2 to the atmosphere. Assuming OD mixing, and given: • Modeling domain area A = 100 m by 100 m Height above ground where inversion (which traps pollution below it) begins at H = 414 m SO2 emission rates from the three sources E1 = 100 mol/s, E2 = 50 mol/s, E3 = 15.6 mol/s at volumetric flow rates Q1 = 100 m³/s, Q2 = 100 m/s, Q3 = 100 m/s Horizontal wind speed profile entering the CV is V = 0.45 z0.20 with z in m and V in m/s Loss by chemical reaction is 1st order with k = 6.39 x 10$ 1/s Loss by deposition is 1st order with a rate = Av.C where the deposition velocity va = 0.01 m/s and A is the domain surface area SO, concentration entering in on wind aka "upwind" concentration = C, = 10 µmol/m3 SO2 concentration in CV immediately before action begins = Co = 10 µmol/m³ a.

Particle emissions in a house. The power goes out in your apartment (volume = 150 m3) at night, so you decide to light a few candles. These candles have a combined particle emission rate of E = 2.0 mg/h. Your apartment has a ventilation flow of 1.5 m3/min and the particles have a first order loss rate (due to deposition, which acts similar to a reaction) of 0.25 h−1, so: Write the differential equation and define the source and loss terms. Calculate the values for the source and loss terms and rewrite the differential equation with these values. What is the steady state particle concentration in your house (in μg/m3)? Write the time-varying solution to this problem and calculate the particle concentration after 1 hour of candle-burning (in μg/m3). If after 1 h of lighting the candles the power returns and the candles are all immediately put out, what will be the particle concentration 3 h after first lighting the candles?

The concentration of chlorine in a water tower tank was 2 mg/L when the tower was taken out of service. If the chlorine decays by first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 1.0 1/d, what is the chlorine concentration when the tank is put back in service 8 hours later? What mass of chlorine in kg must be added to the tank to raise the chlorine level back to 2 mg/L. (Assume completely-mixed tank).
The enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid (C6 H5 COOH) is commonly used as the standard for calibrating constant-volume bomb calorimeters; its value has been accurately determined to be −3226.7 kJ/mol.
