The mechanical power output of an electric motor is 2.20 hp. The motor is connected to a 120 V source and is 89.0% efficient in converting power that it takes in by electrical transmission into mechanical power. Determine the following (a) current (in A) delivered to the motor (b) energy (in MJ) delivered to the motor by electrical transmission in 3.80 h of operation MJ (c) the cost to run the motor (in dollars) for 3.80 h, if the electric company charges $0.110/kWh

a) , b) , c)

Explanation:

a) Let assume that electric motor is single-phase and operates in DC-mode, so that mechanical power output is:

The current delivered to the motor is:

b) The power delivered to the motor is:

The energy delivered to the motor during 3.80 hours of operation is:

c) The cost to run the motor is:

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
