You are considering purchasing a compact washing machine, and you have the following information: The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly electricity use of 350 kW-hrs, based on 8 loads of laundry being washed per week. The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly operating cost of $38. This estimate is based on $0.1065 per kW-hr, and eight loads of laundry being washed per week. Local electricity costs $0.086 per kW-hr. You wash four loads of laundry per week. Based on this information, first calculate the energy that would be used by this compact washing machine in a year. Then calculate the yearly energy cost. Group of answer choices $3.27 $19.00 $15.34 $178.4

A photovoltaic system is installed. It is determined that the capacity factor of the installation is 21% over the course of a year. In that year it produced 7.73 MWh. What is the size of the installation (based upon a 365-day year)?
3. Please calculate the annual electricity production of a wind farm with 20 turbines. The annual mean wind speed is 7 m/s and diameter of the blades is 20 m. If we assume power consumption of a person is 3,000 kWh, about how many people will this energy support? Annual electricity production (KWh) = K Vm³ At T Where: - - - K = 3.2 (factor based on turbine performance) Vm= annual mean wind speed (m/s) At = swept area of turbine (m2) T = number of turbines Suitable for medium- to large-scale wind turbines (> 200 m2 swept area)
Question 2. A household with electric resistance heating plans to switch from resistive heating to a ground source heat pump. Annual heat consumption of the house is 30 000 kWh. Investment cost of the heat pump is 21 000 €. Heat pumps COP is 4.0. How much are the annual savings compared to resistive heating after the change of the heating system (in kWh)? Average price of electricity is assumed to be 12 c/kWh. Round off your answer to one decimal digit and enter it without the unit.
2) The energy consumed by a shower for 30 days is 22kwh. It is known that the resistance of the showerhead is 20 ohms and that its nominal current is 15A. So, what is the time in minutes that the shower was turned on during this period?
2. A 70 kg hiker climbed a mountain 1000 m high. He reached the peak in 3 hr. A. Calculate the external work done by the climber. B. Assuming the work was done at a steady rate during the 3 hr period. Calculate the power generated during the climb. C. Assuming the average O2 consumption during he climb was 2 liters/min (corresponding to 9.6 kcal/min), find the efficiency of the hiker's body. D. How much energy appeared as heat in the body?
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 clear 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.
