The earth receives 1.8 x 10 14 kJ/s of solar energy. What is the mass of solar material is converted to energy over a 24-hr period to provide the daily amount of solar energy to the earth? What mass of the coal would have to be burned to provide the same amount of energy? (Coal releases 32 kJ of energy per gram when burned).

Consider two houses that are identical in size. House 1 has outside walls that were built using a double layer of brick. House 2 has outside walls that were built using a single layer of wood. Discuss and explain which house will be more energy efficient?
Whereas electron microscopes make use of thewave properties of electrons, ion microscopes make use of the wave propertiesof atomic ions, such as helium ions 1He+2, to image materials. A heliumion has a mass 7300 times that of an electron. In a typical helium-ionmicroscope, helium ions are accelerated by a high voltage of 10–50 kVand focused into a beam onto the sample to be imaged. At these energies,the ions don’t travel very far into the sample, so this type of microscopeis used primarily for the surface imaging of biological structures. The useof helium ions with much greater energies (in the MeV range) has beenproposed as a way to image the entire thickness of a sample, becausethese faster helium ions can pass all the way through biological samplessuch as cells. In this type of ion microscope, the energy lost as the ionbeam passes through different parts of a cell can be measured and relatedto the distribution of material in the cell, with thicker parts of the cellcausing greater…
Water is discharged from a 5 cm (diameter) nozzle, which is inclined at a 300 angle above the horizontal. If the jet strikes the ground at a horizontal distance of 5 m and a vertical distance of 1 m from the nozzle. what is the discharge in cubic meter per second
If the LHV of wood logs is 16 MJ/kg, how much energy is available for 2 kg of wood logs? If I burn all wood logs, what is the maximum energy in the heat I could obtain? If 30% of heat can be changed to electricity, how much electricity will be generated? If the heating value (LHV) of dry wood is 20 MJ/kg, what is the maximum energy 20 tonnes of wood could provide? If 60 % of the heat in wood could be transferred, how much heat can be transferred? If the heating value of coal is 40 MJ/kg, how much energy is available for 10 tonnes of coal? If I burn wood logs (LHV =16 MJ) to obtain the same amount of heat, how much (in tonne) of wood logs do I need to burn?

As they work, computers emit heat. Do you have any questions concerning computer air conditioning?
You want to heat a house on a very cold day as shown in the figure. To do this, you want to use photovoltaic panels as an energy source. It would be about using 15 panels each with an area of 1.5 m2. These panels would be connected to an electrical resistance that would heat the house as shown in the figure. The house is losing heat through the walls and ceiling as shown in the figure. The panels are receiving solar radiation at a rate of 800 W / m2 and if their efficiency is 15%. How much will the temperature of the house rise after an hour? The house is hermetically sealed. Assume that the specific heats of air, cv and cp, are constant as shown in the figure. sol = sun fuga = leakage aire = air
