This is the amount of energy released as heat during combustion. (Note: 1.0 kWh = 3600 kW-sec = 3600 kJ = 3.6 MJ. Verify this equivalency and use it to answer the following question.) a. Suppose that during the winter, heating your home with oil may require an average of 6 gallons of oil per day. Assuming that to be the case, what is the average daily energy consumption? (Express your answer in kWh.) b. If the cost of heating oil is $3.00/gallon, what is the daily cost to heat your home? Use this information to find the cost of heating with oil in units of cents/kWh.arrow_forwardAnswer isnt -15arrow_forward
- An electrical power station uses 1.58 x 10-4 J of heat input with an efficiency of 35.7%. (a) How much work is done? (b) How much waste heat is produced by the station? (c) What is the ratio of waste heat to work output? waste heat work outputarrow_forward27 J of heat energy is transferred into an ideal gas and 46 J of work is done on the gas. What is the change in thermal energy, in Joules? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardmmh One ounce of a well-known breakfast cereal contains 110 Calories (1 food Calorie = 4186 J). If 2.0% of this energy could be converted by a weight lifter's body into work done in lifting a barbell, *53. what is the heaviest barbell that could be lifted a distance of 2.1 m?arrow_forward
- A series of thermodynamic processes is shown in the pV-Diagram (see figure on the side). In process ab, 150J of heat are added to the system, and in process bd, 600 J of heat are added. Find a) internal energy change in process ab; b) the internal energy change in process abd; and c) the total heat added in process acd.arrow_forwardA heat engine receives 500 j of heat from its combustion process and loses 391 J through the exhaust and friction. What is it’s efficiency?arrow_forwardA heat engine takes in 2500J and does 1500J of work. a) How much energy is expelled as waste? b) What is the efficiency of the engine?arrow_forward
- 600 J of work is done on a system in a process that decreases the thermal energy of the system by 300 J . How much heat energy is transferred to or from the system as heat? Enter positive value if the energy is transferred to the system and negative if the energy is transferred from the system. Express your answer in joules.arrow_forwardThe heat supplied is 500 J. The heat loss to the environment is 160 J. Step 2 Calculation: Write the expression for the work output from the heat engine. W=Q1-Q2 Here, W is the useful workout, Q1 is the supplied heat, and Q2 is the heat loss. Substitute, all known values in the above expression. W=400 J-160 J=240 J Thus, the useful work is 240 J. What is the efficiency of the heat engine in the preceding problem at top? a) 32% b) 54% c) 68%. d) 75% e) 175%arrow_forwardplease answer the following As a gasoline engine is running, an amount of gasoline containing 12,000 J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 4,000 J of work. What is the engine's efficiency (in percent)? The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 4,300°F (2,600 K). The waste heat from the engine flows into air at about 88°F (304 K). What is the Carnot efficiency (in percent) of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures?arrow_forward
