A resistor is wired to a battery in a circuit and dissipates a power P1 as heat. A second battery, with the same voltage, is added in series with the first battery, leading the resistor to dissipate a power P2 as heat. How much does the resistor dissipate with two batteries, relative to with one battery, or in other words, what is the ratio P2/P1?
QI: At winter design conditions, a house is projected to lose heat at a rate of 65,000 Btu/h. The internal heat gain from people, lights, and appliances is estimated to be 6500 Btu/h. If this house is to be heated by electric resistance heaters, determine the required rated power of these heaters in kW to maintain the house at constant temperature.

If a piston-cylinder system has V = 0.8m^3 of saturated water vapor at P1 = 250 kPa, at which the piston is sitting on a number of stops. The heat is slowly transferred to steam until the piston begins to move off of the stops at a pressure of P2 = 300 kPa, the heat transfer to steam continues until the volume doubles. a) draw the control volume, with assumed direction of work and heat transfers b) draw P-v diagram c) find final temperature
An ice plant in Pampanga is delivering ice blocks in a small retail shop in Pangasinan. The selling price of an ice block is P65.00. The said retail shop has to pay the real estate tax of P3600 per month, P26500 for the salaries and wages of the manpower, and P12000 per month for other expenses. On top of that the tax for buying the ice blocks from the ice plant is P2.00 and its cost is P27 per block. How many blocks should be sold per year to break even?
