Question 1: (10 points)
You need to build a global picture for the energy issue around the world, and then compare it to
Kuwait. This wide picture requires the knowledge of how the world is generating and consuming
energy, and also how this consumption is distributed among different sectors. For this purpose, you
need to answer all the following questions for a set of countries/regions mentioned below them:
1. How much energy is consumed in this country per capita?
2. What are the percentage sources of this energy (e.g. fossil fuel%, nuclear energy%,
renewables%)?
3. How this energy is consumed by sector (e.g. residential/commercial/industrial/others)?
4. How is the energy demand growing (Provide the total energy consumption in the past,
present, and future, e.g. around year 2000, 2020, 2050)?
5. Provide a measure for the development of clean energy in this country, e.g. renewable
energy share growth, electric vehicles market share growth, etc.
You have to answer all of the above questions to the following three subjects:
A) The whole world in general
B) Kuwait
C) At least any two countries from the list below:

Question 2: (5 points)
Consider a person in a cold location with no source of heat except by physical exercising. Suggest a
reasonable exercise/practice this person can follow to warm up. You can neglect the clothing insulation effect
and assume only basic convection and radiation heat exchange with the surrounding environment. You need
the following information: (4 points)

Person body surface area = 2 m 2
Body surface temperature = 31 oC
Air temperature = 18 oC
Average radiant temperature = 15 oC
Convection heat transfer coefficient = 6 W/m2.K
Air emissivity = 0.95
 Boltzmann’s constant = 5.67e-8 W/m2.K4.
What is the effect of body area on the required exercise? Does the exercise need to be heavier or lighter
with the increase of body surface area? (1 point)
