Answer / kangchuentat

(a) When n = 1 million years, it could be approximated as n = infinity. Then y = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ n ] / r = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ (infinity) ] / r = [ 1 - 1 / (infinity) ] / r = (1 - 0) / r = 1 / r. (b) For future value of $10000 and n = infinity forever, use the equation of y = 1 / r for future value of 1 and interest rate r. As r = 10 % = 0.1, then y = x / r = $10000 / 0.1 = $100000, where x = future value.

NATURAL GAS ENGINEERING - QUESTION 26.3 : The United States of America Energy Information Administration reports the following emissions in million metric tons of carbon dioxide in the world for year 2012 : Natural gas : 6799, petroleum : 11695, coal : 13787. Coal-fired electric power generation emits around 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide for every megawatt hour generated, which is almost double the carbon dioxide released by a natural gas-fired electric plant per megawatt hour generated. If 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1 pound = 0.4536 kg, estimate the total energy generated by natural gas in the world for year 2012, in gigawatt hour.
