The fleet average fuel economy of one car-maker fails to meet the present CAFE target (27.5 mpg) by 3 mpg. As we know, this will incur a penalty of $ 165 per car. Assuming that the first owner of a typical car bought from this car-maker drives it for 100,000 miles before selling it. If the carbon footprint of gasoline is 2.9 kg/litre and 1 US gallon = 3.79 litre how much extra carbon does the car emit? 5264 kg 4894 kg 2536 kg 3625 kg

A city has a fleet of 10 gasoline cars and 5 gasoline light trucks built in 2009. The annual vehicle miles (VMT) traveled by these vehicles are 8,000 miles. How many kg of CO2e does the fleet produces in a year? Which fleet of vehicles (i.e. light truck or gasoline car) produces more CO2e and by how much? Notes: Fuel efficiency of gasoline car = 23.8 mpg Fuel efficiency of light truck = 17.4 mpg Emission factor of N2O from gasoline car = 0.020 gm/mile Emission factor of CH4 from gasoline car = 0.021 gm/mile Emission factor of N2O from light truck= 0.029 gm/mile Emission factor of CH4 from light truck = 0.025 gm/mile Emission factor of gasoline = 8.78 kg CO2/gallon
1. A 6-cylinder, 4-stroke marine diesel engine generally operates at 3000 revolutions per minute with a fuel consumption of 650 liters at 299 Kelvins with 28°API gravity units. Determine the density of the fuel and the amount of fuel consumed per hour in kilograms.
A diesel power plant has an overall efficiency of 30%. If the calorific value of diesel is 18000 BTU/lb and cost P6.000 per liter, how much is the fuel cost of production per KWHR of energy? Take the density of diesel as 900 grams per liter. A. P1.91/KWHR B. P1.85/KWHR C. P2.12/KWHR D. P2.45/KWHR
The Preliminary audit taken by an energy manager indicates that the daily energy consumption per hours (with 8 hours / day shift) is distributes as follows: Fuel 1: 500 Kgs, Fuel 2: 900 Kgs, Fuel 3: 820 Kg with calorific value as fuel 1: 30000Kj/kg, Fuel 2: 42000 Kj.Kg, Fuel 3: 50000 kj/Kg. The Cost of the fuel as fuel 1: Rs 30/Kg, Fuel 2: Rs. 90/ Kg, Fuel 3: Rs 50/Kg. The Production Out put is 150000 units. Clearly showing the intermediate computation, answer the following (a) What is the energy Index? (b) what is the cost Index? ( c ) Represent the energy and cost distribution on pi - diagrams and Present your interference based on the above.
A family wishes to buy a 2020 Toyota Camry. The two options the consider are (a) a standard automobile with and SI engine that gets 34 mpg and costs $18,000; and (b) a hybrid automobile that gets 52 mpg and costs $32,000. On average, the family drives 16,000 miles each year ad gasoline costs $1.65 per gallon. Calculate: (Show your complete solution) The amount of gasoline each vehicle would use each year. Gasoline cost savings of hybrid over standard. Time in months it would take to make up the difference in vehicle cost with fuel savings.
A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 11.0 m high flight of steps in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 ✕ 107 J of chemical energy and the body can convert about 19.4% of this into mechanical energy (the rest goes into internal energy.) (a)How much mechanical energy (in J) can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat? (b)How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the 74.0 kg student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of energy required to return down the stairs.
