Suppose that you have left a 200 mL cup of coffee sitting until it has cooled to 30◦ C, which you find totally unacceptable. Your microwave oven draws 1100W of electrical power when it is running. If it takes 45s for this microwave oven to raise the temperature of the coffee to 60◦ C, what is the efficiency of heating with this oven? You will need to use the fact that 4.2 J of energy is required to raise the temperature of 1.0 mL of coffee by 1.0◦ C.

A heat pump operates with an outside temperature of –10°C and an inside temperature of +19°C. If the building requires 1.6 GJ of heat per day, what is the average power requirement in kW for the heat pump?
You have a spherical heater, outside diameter = 3.40 cm, immersed in a container of water. In order to keep the water in the container heated to a constant temperature of 35.0°C you adjust the temperature of the spherical heater. You reach a steady-state condition when the surface temperature of the spherical heater is at 79.0°C. Assuming the electrical efficiency of the heater is 100.0%, calculate the power required by the heater (i.e., calculate q). Ignore radiation.
