Here is how the Plant Factor equation looks like.

0.5 = \frac{250}{500}

0.5 = \frac{250kW*h}{500kW*h}

0.5 = \frac{250}{500}

Plant Factor Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Plant Factor?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

p = \frac{E}{w}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

p = \frac{250kW*h}{500kW*h}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

p = \frac{9E+8J}{1.8E+9J}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

p = \frac{9E+8}{1.8E+9}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

p = 0.5
