As a gasoline engine is running, an amount of gasoline containing 15,200 J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 3,800 J of work.
(a)
What is the engine's efficiency (in percent)?
(b)
The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 5,000°F (3,000 K). The waste heat from the engine flows into air at about 86°F (303 K). What is the Carnot efficiency (in percent) of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures?
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching Earth’s surface is 200 W/m2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If the average power requirement in your home is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10% efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? (Will a collector fit in your yard or on your roof?)
Many decisions are made on the basis of the payback period: the time it will take through savings to equal the capital cost of an investment. Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. (For some industries, a payback period is as small as two years.) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time. Take the average for the 120 day heating season to be 15.0C.
