In the engr 10 lab (e391), there are 50 long light bulbs (p=100 w) and 30 regular bulbs (p=60 w). how much energy is consumed lighting the lab during the 3 hour lab period. calculate the amount of energy saved if all bulbs are replaced by cfl (spiral) bulbs (p=25w).

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH
