Question: A once - through water cooling system exists for a 7 5 kW air compressor. The flow rate is 1 2 l m i n

A once-through water cooling system exists for a 75 kW air compressor.
The flow rate is 12lmin. Water enters the compressor at 18C and leaves at 105C. If water and sewage
cost $1.50? kilolitre and energy costs $5.00GJ, calculate the annual water savings (litres and dollars) and
annual energy savings (GJ and dollars) if the water could be used as boiler makeup water. Assume the
water cools to 32C before it can be used and flows 8760 hours/year. Assume a boiler efficiency of 70%.
In designing a PV panel, individual cells producing 0.5 volts and 1 ampere are to be used. The need is for a
small dc water pump drawing 12 volts and 3 amperes. Design the necessary array include any voltage-
regulating device or storage devices.
