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.
The total consumption of electrical energy in the United States is about 1.0 1019joules per year.What is the average rate of electrical energy consumption in watts?If the population of the United States is 300 million, what is the average rate of electrical energy consumption per person?The sun transfers energy to the earth by radiation at a rate of approximately 1.0 kW per square meter of surface. If this energy could be collected and converted to electrical energy with 40 % efficiency, how great an area (in square kilometers) would be required to collect the electrical energy used by the United States?

Solve question 2 based on the answer of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon Natural Gas BTU= 80,698,000 Oil BTU = 71,512,440 The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2.- You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of the fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…
1) A geothermal facility operates at 1/3 of the Carnot efficiency. If the cold reservoirhas a temperature of 70°C, calculate and plot the efficiency of the facility as afunction of the geothermal fluid temperature from 100°C to 300°C. (remember toconvert to Kelvin!)1b) If a minimum efficiency of 5% is needed for this facility to be economicallyviable, what is the required minimum temperature of the geothermal fluid?

Q. 1.2: Consider heat loss through the two walls of a house on a winter night. The walls are identical, except that one of them has a tightly fit glass window. Through which wall will the house lose more heat? Explain.
Q1: If a calorimeter is not assumed to be adiabatic, how would one calculate the heat transfer? Guide Questions: What are the parameters to be considered and the equations to be used? What law of thermodynamics does this transfer of heat to the surroundings touch? Is an adiabatic system automatically considered as a closed system? Please help me understand by also attaching a reference/book/journal article. This would help me in my essay. Thank you.
In a company there are the following consumptions for energy and energetics. The company works 8hours a day and consumes an average of 10 kWh/day of electrical energy, its thermal energy production system(heating) works through the combustion of a gas that provides 111.76 kcal/h for each gram that isgas flaring, using an average of 0.25 lbm/h of gas.Fuel is also used in another thermal system that on average consumes 1 lbm/h, whose density is 1.1g/mL with calorific value of 1193.45 BTU/lbm. If the average costs for energy and energy are of$0.20/kcal. Determine the total cost of energy and energy for each work week (6 days per week).week)
A firearm can be modeled as a kind of heat engine, where the projectile acts as a piston that separates from the rest of the system during expansion. Consider a rifle with a 1.70 kg barrel made of iron [specific heat = 448 J/(kg °C)]. The rifle fires a 4.00 g bullet that exits the barrel with a speed of 350 m/s. When the propellant is ignited, 1.10% of the energy released goes into propelling the bullet (this is the thermal efficiency of the "engine"). The other 98.9% can be approximated as being entirely absorbed by the barrel, which increases in temperature uniformly for a short time before this energy is dissipated into the surroundings. What is this temperature increase (in °C)? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) °℃
