Envision a solar water heater, a device which receives energy from the sun (solar radiation or thermal energy) and is used to heat water. The system is installed on the roof of a building where is receives energy from the sun at a rate of 500 Watts for every 1 m² of surface area. About 35% of the incoming thermal energy is lost to the surrounding environment. The remaining energy is absorbed by the liquid water and the temperature changes from 30 °C to 60 °C. Assuming the system is operating at steady state, find the amount of water (m) that this device can supply at 60 °C if the total surface area of the device is 3 m². Ignore any changes in kinetic energy, potential energy, or change in pressure that might occur in the system.

In an area, heat is supplied at a heat engine with a temperature of 700°C, while waste heat is disposed at 60°C. Then, a generator is connected together with a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. If the heat pump will warm the area at 25°C, while its outside temperature is at 10°C. The area now loses 80,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 20% of the heat engine’s power output will go to the heat pump. How much needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in the area? Assuming a carnot heat engine and heat pump.
