14. WHAT IS “AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME”?
Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $
Output = $1
bill per day
Input = $1 bill
per day
On average, how many days is the “red”
dollar bill likely to stay in the store?

15. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME
Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $
Output = $1
bill per day
Input = $1 bill
per day
On average, how many days is the “red”
dollar bill likely to stay in the store?
10 days.

16. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME
What happens if I increase the number of bills in the store to 20?
Volume of Store = $20 bills $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
Output = $1
bill per day
Input = $1 bill
per day
On average, how many days is the “red”
dollar bill likely to stay in the store?

17. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME
What happens if I increase the number of bills in the store to 20?
Volume of Store = $20 bills $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
Output = $1
bill per day
Input = $1 bill
per day
On average, how many days is the “red”
dollar bill likely to stay in the store?
20 days!

18. AS SIZE OF STORE INCREASES
AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME INCREASES.

19. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME
What happens if I increase the rate of inputs and outputs
of bills in the store to 10?
Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $
? ?
$ $ $ $ $ $
Output = 2 dollar
bills per day
Input = 2 dollar
bills per day
On average, how many days is a “red”
dollar bill likely to stay in the store?

20. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME
What happens if I increase the rate of inputs and outputs
of bills in the store to 10?
Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $
? ?
$ $ $ $ $ $
Output = 2 dollar
bills per day
Input = 2 dollar
bills per day
On average, how many days is a “red”
dollar bill likely to stay in the store?
5 days!

21. AS RATES OF INPUTS AND OUTPUTS (AVERAGE FLUX) INCREASE.
AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME DECREASES.

23. Avg. Residence = 1,338,000,000 / 484,680 = 2760 years

24. Avg. Residence = 47,659,600 / 132,710 = 359 years

25. Avg. Residence = 12,900 / 577,000 = 0.02 yrs (7.3 days)

26. 0.02 yrs
400 yrs
2-3,000 yrs

27. SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH ALL THIS?
Kinetic Energy -:
By virtue of motion

28. Potential Energy -:
By virtue of position above some datum

29. GRAVITY CONVERTS POTENTIAL TO KINETIC
Potential Energy increased by
Impounding water behind dam. Raises reservoir level
Converted to Kinetic Energy
to drive turbines.
