An electrical utility delivers 6.25e10 kwh of power to its customers in a year. what is the average power required during the year? if the powerplants supplying the utility have an average efficiency of 45% how much energy (in quads) does the power plants use in a year? assuming that the power plants burn natural gas how many cubic feet of natural gas will be required to generate that much power?

The overall Utility delivered to customers in a year 'U' = 6.25 X 10¹⁰Kwh

However, the average power P, required for a year, t  = ? Kw

Expressing their relationship, we will have

             U = P x t

Given t = 1 year = 24 x 365 hours (assume a year operation is 365 days)

          t = 8760 hours

P =

P = 7134.7Kw

Hence, the average power required during the year is 7,135Kw

Now to calculate the energy used by the power plant in a year (in quads)?

Recall, Efficiency, η = Power Output/Power Input (100)

so, we have

η = P₀/P₁, given

0.45 =

P₁ = 15,855Kw

the total energy E₁ used in a year = 15,855x24x365 = 138.89MJoules

So to convert this to quads, Note;

1 quads of energy = 10¹⁵ Joules

The total energy used is 0.000000139 quads

Now to find the cubic feet of natural gas required to generate this power?

Note: 0.29Kwh of Power generated  = 1 cubic feet of natural gas used

Since, the power plant generated = 62500000000Kwh

The cubic feet of natural gas used =

Hence, 2.155x10²⁰cubic feet of N.gas was used to generate this much power.

the correct answer is c.stops after infancy and childhood.

myelin is the substance of the central nervous system (cns) that insulates nerve cell axons to increase the speed at which nerve impulse travels. myelination is a process of myelin formation. this process occurs postnatally, begins in the embryo during the midst of early development and finishes after birth.
