If the peak load on a power plant having a capacity of 100 MW is 70 MW during a given week. Calculate the utilization factor.

If the peak load on a power plant having a capacity of 100 MW is 70 MW during a given week. Calculate the utilization factor. Correct Answer 0.70

The utilization factor is the ratio of the maximum power utilized to the maximum power available. U.F = Max power utilised/ Max power available = 70 / 100 = 0.7.

Ramesh works A hours a day and rests B hours a day. This pattern continues for 1 week, with an exactly opposite pattern next week, and so on for four weeks. Every fifth week he adopts a new pattern which then continues for the next four weeks.

A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twenty-fourth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-eighth of its usual capacity, during the fourth hours at one-fourth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one-half as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipe working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
