According to the bp statistical review the us primary


According to the BP statistical review the US primary energy consumption in 2014 was 2300 mtoe (million tons of oils equivalent). Oil has an energy density of 42 MJ/kg.

(a) What is the US energy consumption in Joules. What would be a better unit (MJ, GJ, TJ, PJ, EJ)?

(b) What is it in quads (1015 BTU's)?

(c) What is it in kWh ?  What would be a better unit (MWh, GWh, TWh, PWh)?

(d) Uranium ore is 0.07% 235U. If 235U has an energy density of 1.28 x 10MJ/kg what is the mass of Uranium in Uranium ore that would give the same primary energy?

(e) What is the average power used?
