    An Energy Primer- Answer to practice problems *Note: You must show all your calculations to earn credit for

    the problems. No calculations (or calculations that dont get to these answers) = no points.

    1. a) 2,000 kcal 2. a) show work

    b) 8.4 x 106 J ( or 8.4 MJ)

    c) 7,930 Btu

    d) 11.9 minutes

    b) hint: think about the second law of thermodynamics b) $1748/season b) 8% c) 46 m2 c) about 9 years

    3. a) 194,000 cf (or 1940 ccf) 4. a) 9,565,420 Btu (or 9.6 MBtu) 5. a) 2190 kWh 6. 498 tons b) 21.9%

    c) about 1200 baths

    7. a) 4,000 8. Battery energy: 4.5 Wh = 4.5 x 10-3 kWh Cost per kWh: $222 Comparison of electrical energy from the battery = 2220 times as much

    9. Fuel Cost per Mbtu Cost of Home Heating Natural gas $11.07 $1660 Propane $18.37 $2755 Fuel oil $14.51 $2177 Electricity $29.31 $3517 (show your calculations for all the values included in the table)
