How many BTU or KWH are generated by a given nuclear fission unit?
1 BTU = 1.055 kilojoules. For a nuclear plant with an electrical output of say 1000 MWe, the reactor thermal output will be about 3000 MW (at 33 percent efficiency), or 3000 Mega joules/second, which is 3000 x 1000 kilojoules/sec, or 3000/1.055 x 1000 BTU/sec. this reduces to 2.84 x 106 BTU/second, Scale it according to the actual electrical output of the plant.
How much coal is used to generate electricity for a house per day?
About 0.3 kg of hydrocarbon fuel is burned to produce 1 kWh of energy. About 1 kg of CO2 is produced by the power plant (the extra mass comes from oxygen absorbed from the air). An average house might use 20 kWh per day which corresponds to 6 kg (12 lb) of coal and 20 kg of CO2.
How many kwh is mwh?
1 mwh = 1000 kwh hence 4 mwh = 4000 kwh
What is the output for cellular respiration?
40 ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) (net 38) + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Is the efficiency of a machine calculated by the ratio or by the product?
efficiency is a product of the input versus the output
How much CO2 will be produced for every kwh?
1 kWh creates approximately 1 kg of CO2 from a black coal fired power station.
1 kWh equals pounds of CO2?
zero lbs
Are electric cars good for the environment?
yes as they do not give out carbon dioxide (co2) witch is contributing to the ice caps meltingYour answer is incomplete and barely right.Electric autos do not produce CO2 BUT to charge the battery CO2 is produced at the power generating plant!Every KwH used by an electric car generated on average about 600g of CO2.600g of CO2 is a worldwide average of CO2 emissions/ KwH.
How much KWH can 1 kilogram of LPG generate?
The energy output from LPG gas is as follows :12.9 Kwh/Kg & 7.5 Kwh/Ltr. (Details from "http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/EricLeung.shtml")
How is Co2 reduction accomplished by your solar panels comparable to other types of saving energy?
Solar panels save CO if you accept that electricity generation normally produces CO2 when the fuel is burnt. 1 kWh of electric energy results in about 1 kg of CO2 from a conventional power plant, so if that 1 kWh were generated by solar, that saves 1 kg of CO2. 1 kWh generated by a wind turbine also saves 1 kg of CO2. In this equation you also have to consider any CO2 emitted at the factories that make the solar panels etc., but this is not very much.
How do you convert kwh to CO2 tons?
The amount of CO2 generated from electricity (kWh) is dependant upon the way the electricity is generated. Burning a barrel of oil to produce electricity yields far more CO2 than generating the same amount of electricity from wind or water. One should contact their electricity provider to get a break-down of how the electricity is generated.
What is a CO2 extinguisher discharge temperature?
CO2 is delivered at the horn output at approximately -130 degrees F.
How many kWh a 2 hp water pump in one hour?
1 hp = 746 watts2 hp = 1,492 watts2 hp x 1 hour = 1,492 watt-hours = 1.492 kWh(Note: The "2 hp" rating on the pump refers to the useful output, that is,the water that the pump moves. The '1.492 kWh' calculated is simply theequivalent of 2 hp-hour, expressed in a different unit. The consumptionfrom the electric utility will be more than that, because no machine is100% efficient, that is, a machine's useful output work/energy is alwaysless than the input to it.To calculate the input energy required to operate this pump at full loadfor an hour, divide 1.492 kWh by the efficiency of the pump.)
What is cost per KWh in Puerto Rico?
As of September 2008 the cost is 28.22 cents per kilowatt hour. This was calculated taking the total electric bill and divide it by the number of KWh.
What is daily kWh output of 1kW solar power system?
If it's a 1 kW system, it means that it can deliver 1 kW at any given time. How many kWh you get out of it depends on how many hours of good sunlight you get. 10 hours of good sun = 10 kWh. 10 hours of half light, 5 kWh (kilowatt hours).
How much CO2 is produced from burning coal?
Taking coal to contain 50 percent carbon, which combines with oxygen during burning to form CO2, we can arrive at 1.83 kg CO2 for every 1 kg of coal burned. Another way to put it, taking the efficiency of power stations into account, is that 950 grams of CO2 is evolved for every KWh of electricity produced. Note that for natural gas it is more like 600 g per KWh for natural gas powered plants.
What is efficiency and how is it calculated?
The efficiency is output divided by input.
