An elevator has an electrical power rating of 3.2 x 104 W. If the elevator takes 42 s to move up 3 floors (12 m total), what is its efficiency? Assume the mass of the elevator and its passengers is 1800 kg.
I have 72 lightbulbs in my house. 53 of these lightbulbs are 65 watt and the other 19 lightbulbs are 53 watt. I use the 65 watt lightbulbs an average of 10 hours a day and 53 watt an average of 12 hours a day. 1 kilowatt=1000 watts.
Estimate the energy used during 1 year by all the lightbulbs in my home?
An electric motor is rated at 10 horsepower (HP) and costs $800. Its full-load efficiency is specified to be 85%. A newly designed, high-efficiency motor of the same size has an efficiency of 90%, but costs $1,200. It is estimated that the motors will operate at a rated 10-HP output for 1,500 hours a year, and the cost of energy will be $0.07 per kilowatt-hour. Each motor is expected to have a 15-year life. At the end of 15 years, the first motor will have a salvage value of $50, and the second motor will have a salvage value of $100. Consider the MARR to be 8%. (Note: 1 HP= 0.7457kW.)(a) Determine which motor should be installed based on the PW criterion.(b) What if the motors operated 2,500 hours a year instead of 1,500 hours ayear? Would the motor selected in (a) still be the choice?

I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water. I also looked up the frequency of the microwaves that an oven uses, and found thatf= 2,450 MHz. (a) How much energy is delivered to the water in the making of a cup of tea?

Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. (For some industries, a payback period is as small as two years.) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time.
