Land footprint of solar energy:

(a) In 2016, Arizona’s total annual electricity consumption was 78.05 million MWh. What is this in terms of kWh per day?

(b) Land footprint: The average daily insolation in Phoenix is 5.38 kWh/m2/day. Given this daily energy input, how much land area would you need (in square miles) to generate all of Arizona’s daily electricity from the following types of PV panels:

i. Mono-crystalline Si panels with an efficiency of 22 %?

ii. Thin film CdTe with an efficiency of 12%?

(c) Translate to rooftops: Assuming we use 22% efficient mono-crystalline Si panels, how many rooftops would that take if we put the panels on:

i. Wal-Mart stores with an average size of 102,000 square feet?

ii. Household rooftops with an average size of 2,000 square feet?

(d) Reflection: These types of crude statistics get used all the time in public debates about solar energy. Do you think they’re useful? Why or why not? Take about 3-4 sentences to explain what we learn from this exercise and whether you think it’s useful for talking about solar energy.

For a summer job you take a position as an accident investigator for your local police force. On your first day you are called to the scene of a possibly minor accident at a large intersection with a 4-way stop. From the positions of the cars you can see that driver A was traveling northward in a small car and driver B was traveling eastward in a car that looks like it has approximately twice the mass of car A. The debris from their collision is in the center of the intersection. You can see the 5 m long marks left by the skidding tires that lead from the impact point to where the cars now rest, stuck together. The skid marks point in a direction 18.4˚east of north. From your measurements of the marks and from knowing something about the frictional force of asphalt on tires, you estimate that the cars were moving about 20 miles per hour immediately after the collision. Driver A says that driver B ran through a stop sign. Driver B says the opposite. You determine the speeds that each driver was traveling to help determine who is at fault. Make sure that y explain clearly how you determined the speeds of each car.

Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian skydiver and daredevil, made history’s highest and fastest jump. After ascending to more than 128,000 feet in capsule tethered to a helium balloon, Baumgartner jumped and became the first human to break the sound barrier as he fell at a rate of 833 miles per hour and had a free-fall of more than 4 minutes.

The event was sponsored and funded by Red Bull – a company known for pushing the envelope of crazy and risky sports.The company doesn’t consider this a stunt though, preferring to characterize the program as a professional flight test program. Red Bull spent more than five years on the project with an expert staff of scientists, engineers, and physicians – many of whom had experience with NASA programs. The cost to Red Bull has not been disclosed, but estimates on the return to the company in regards to visibility, branding, and goodwill tops $8 billion.

Why do companies sponsor events – oftentimes events that seem to have little to do with their products?

What do companies gain? What do they risk?

How does the Stratos project fit with the Red Bull brand and target market? How does it fit with other promotional tools used by Red Bull?

3. In recent years, Sheffield Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is shown as follows.

For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 124,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2018, 26,000; 2019, 31,500; and 2020, 29,500.

For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.)

HW Problem 5: A 150 kW motor drives a hollow round shaft at 1,200 rpm. The outer diameter of the shaft is 100-mm and the inner diameter is 0.95*outer diameter. It is made of AISI 1050 WQ&T at 425- deg C.

(a) Look online or the book and explain briefly what “WQ&T” in the material designation stand for, and how it is different than OQ&T. Which is stronger at the specified temperature?

(b) Determine the maximum torsional shear stress (Tau max) in the hollow shaft. Write the units. Hint: Use the kW power equation, find torque, and find J to find Tau max. Use N, mm, MPa.

(c) Determine the safety or no safety factor for static loading (ns) according to (i) Tresca theory, and (ii) von-Mises theory. Hint: Read Sy from table and then calculate Ssy by Tresca and von-Mises. Then use (ns,Tresca) = (Ssy,Tresca) / (Tau max); (ns,von) = (Ssy,von) / (Taumax).

(d) If the calculated safety factor is more than 4.0, what parameters would you change to bring it down below 4.0 (and of course, above 1.0)?
