Combined heat and power (CHP) is a technology that simultaneously produces electricity and heat from a

single fuel source. Here we consider a CHP system that consumes 72 GJ of coal per hour, while producing

6000kWh electricity and 32.4 GJ of heat. Assume that coal has a heating value of 25 MJ=kg.

(a) Using energy-based allocation, determine the carbon dioxide emission per kWh for this CHP system.

(b) How does it compare with a coal-fired power plant that produces electricity only? For the coal-fired

power plant, it is assumed the thermal efficiency is 35 %. Assume complete combustion and the coal

used has a CO2 emission factor of 2.5 kg=kg.

(c) It is assumed that the heat generated by the CHP system replaces heat from a coal-fired boiler with 90%

efficiency. If this is so, what is the carbon dioxide emission per kWh based on substitution?

There are different types of software’s that utilize geographic data for
display of spatial information in civil Engineering. These range from
simple computer mapping to geographical information science.
a) Describe key functions or aspect of Arch GIS and Q-GIS
b) Examine five (5) main applications of GIS & Q-GIS in processing
geographical and geospatial data

(c). Digitizing is the process where features on a map or image are
converted into digital format for use by a GIS. Examine in details the
three primary methods for digitizing spatial information

Consider an experiment with an objective of determining the effects of surface-finish finish & time of curing on the strength of a glue bond of two wood pieces. The experiment will be conducted using a tensile test machine. You are to design this experiment beginning with the need statement and completing the function structure.

1. What is the need statement?
2. What are 4 functional requirements (high level)?
3. What are 2nd level requirements for the high level ones above?

33. What is sorption and describe three types of isotherm

Detailing is very important not only for the proper execution of the structures but for the safety of the structures. Generally produce a factor on the dos and don’ts considered when arranging the detail of reinforcement

Explain unified classification of coarse-grained soil?

4. In the study of consumer behavior, it was historically assumed that the shopper was a “sovereign consumer” and that decisions, needs, and desires were generated within the individual. Using any of the relevant course materials (readings, films, examples), discuss whether or not consumer’s choices are their own?

Project Scope Statement: The scope statement is the “top-level document for articulating the overall project goals, objectives, and mission-critical parameters, such as overall timing and resource constraints. It defines the project baseline for all other documentation and management actions.” (Thamhain, 2005, p. 148) The scope of a project defines what is included in and excluded from the project. Based on your project proposal and the information provided in the project charter, submit a list of what will be included in the scope of your project and what will be excluded. Include the following headings and include the necessary information under each heading based on your individual project. The Project Scope Statement should be no longer than a page or page and half (single spaced). • Project objective – 1-2 sentences o Example: To construct a high-quality custom insulated doghouse within 4 weeks at a cost not to exceed $5,000. • Deliverables: What are you going to accomplish. o Example: § A 5’ x 7’ finished doghouse with one doorway § White aluminum siding § Shingled Roof § One (1) Doorway • Milestones: Dates for specific high-level milestones for the project. o Example: § Permits approved – June 1, 2016 § Foundation poured – June 10, 2016 § Framed, siding and roof completed – June 25 § Final inspection – June 30 • Technical Requirements: o Examples: § Doghouse must meet local building codes. § Wall and ceiling insulation must meet ______. § Floor insulation must meet ______. • Limits and Exclusions o Examples: § The doghouse will be built to the specifications and designed provided by the customer. § Owner is responsible for landscaping. § Doghouse does not include windows or a door. § Site work will be limited to Monday through Friday, 8:00am5:00pm

The urban air above the city of Shanghai if the mixing height above the city is 1210 m, the width of the box perpendicular to the wind is 105 m, the average annual wind speed is 15,400 m/hr, and the amount of sulfur dioxide discharged is 1375 × 106 lb/yr. Is this a conservative or non-conservative system? State all assumptions. Sketch a diagram to represent the system. Write the complete mass balance for SO2. Estimate the SO2 concentration in the air leaving the city in μg/m .
Hint: Determine the wind flow in m3/hr.
