A hot water leak in one of the faucets of your apartment can be very wasteful. A continuous leak of one quart per hour (a "slow" leak) at 155°F causes a loss of 1.85 million Btu per year. Suppose your water is heated with electricity. a. How many pounds of coal delivered to your electric utility does this leak equate to if one pound of coal contains 13,000 Btu and the boiler combustion process and water distribution system have an overall efficiency of 27%? b. If a pound of coal produces 1.91 pounds of CO₂ during the combustion process, how much extra carbon dioxide does the leaky faucet produce in a year? C a. lbs of coal are delivered. (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Your house has an electric water heater. Several friends are visiting you over the weekend and they are taking consecutive showers. Assume that at the maximum heating level, the heater uses 50 kW of electricity. The water use rate is a continuous 4 gallons per minute with the new water saving showerhead you recently installed. Your very old showerhead had used 7 gallons per minute. You replaced the showerhead because you learned that heating water was the second highest energy use in your home. By slowing the flow of water through the heater, the water temperature should increase to a higher temperature. (a) What is the change in temperature (T) for the old showerhead? (b) What is the change in temperature (T) for the new showerhead? Assume the system is at steady sate, and all of the 50 kW energy used is heating the water.

Suppose a hippopotamus on land receives 73 units of heat per minute due to solar radiation and 52 units of heat per minute due to infrared radiation. It emits 39 units of infrared radiation and it loses 66 units heat per minute through evaporation. The hippopotamus gains 45 units of heat per minute through its metabolism. Overall, its heat energy is increasing by 50 units per minute (i.e. its temperature is increasing). Delta Hanimal = SR + IRin - IRout ± Hconv ± Hcond - Hevap + Hmet Based on this information we can conclude that the combination of conduction and convection is the animal, and that its current temperature is than the ambient temperature.

This is Problem 13 of Chapter 3 in Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap, 2nd Edition. I need help solving it: A coal-fired generating station has an efficiency of 38% and produces an average electrical output of 1000 MWe.(a) How much coal does it burn per second (kg/s)? Assume the coal is bituminous.(b) How much heat (in joules) is released to the environment per second?(c) How many liters of water at 20°C could the heat in part (b) boil (at STP) per second? For c, here is my idea: use Q = mc(change in T). Here change in T is (100 C - 20 C) or 80 C and c = 4200 J/(kg C) so I can solve for m. Question: I need the density of water to find liters, but density changes with temperature. So, do I use the regular 1000 kg/m^3 or something else?
