*70. D The wattage of a commercial ice maker is 225 W and is the rate at which it does work. The ice maker operates just like a refrigerator or an air conditioner and has a coefficient of performance of 3.60. The water going into the unit has a temperature of 15.0 °C, and the ice maker produces ice cubes at 0.0 °C. Ignoring the work needed to keep stored ice from melting, find the maximum amount (in kg) of ice that the unit can produce in one day of continuous operation.

A certain coal-fired power plant has a rated power capacity of P = 850 MW. The output of this plant is W = 0.26QH, where QH is the energy input as heat from the hot reservoir. a. If the power plant operates for a full day at its rated capacity, how much energy QH in MJ is needed? b. If, on average, one ton of coal contains Q = 25 GJ of energy, how many tons nH of coal would the plant need to operate for a day at its rated capacity? c. How many tons nC of this coal is exhausted as wasted heat to QC in a single day?
Each second, a nuclear power plant generates 2000 MJ of thermal energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor’s core. This energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 300°C. The steam spins a turbine, which produces 700 MJ of electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 30°C before starting the cycle again.a. What is the maximum possible efficiency of the plant?b. What is the plant’s actual efficiency?

A sample of ideal gas in a thermally insulated container with a movable piston is initially in state A. The gas is taken from state A to state B by an adiabatic process. The dashed lines represent isotherms. If W is the work done on the gas, Q is the energy transferred to the gas by heating, and Delta U be the change in the internal energy of the gas during the process. a. If the temperature of the gas in state A is 200 K, what is the temperature of the gas in state B? b) Briefly explain how the answer to a is consistent to your answer to "is greater than zero, zero, or less than zero?"

We’ve seen that the area under a pV graph is the work done in an ideal-gas process. If the process follows a closed curve, the work is the area inside the curve. The graph as shown the gauge pressure in the lungs versus the volume of gas in the lungs for a person who is taking rapid, deep breaths. During one complete breath, the pressure-versus-volume data trace out the curve shown, in the direction of the arrows. The energy expended in one complete breath is represented by the shaded area inside the curve. If you graph pressure-versus-volume data for normal breathing, the upper and lower lines are much closer together and the volume range is much smaller. For one cycle of normal breathing, we expect the energy expended to be for the cycle illustrated in the figure.A. more than B. the same as C. less than
