1) Heating the water in a 55-gallon water heater requires about 2.0 x 103 kJ of energy.
a) Assume the energy came from natural gas with 80% efficiency; how many grams of natural gas are required?
b) Assume the energy came from electricity with 80% efficiency and that the electricity was produced from the combustion of coal with 30% efficiency; how many grams of coal are required?
For problem above, calculate how much CO2 in grams is emitted to the atmosphere.
For a: Use the balanced equation for the combustion of methane (CH4) to determine how many grams of CO2are produced from the amount of natural gas required.
For b: Assume that coal produces 5.25 kJ of energy per gram of CO2 produced. Calculate how much CO2 in grams is produced.
Assume that gasoline is burned with 99% efficiency in a car engine, with 1% remaining unbumed in the exhaust gases as VOCs; If the engine exhausts 16 kg of gases (MW = 30) for each kg of gasoline (MW = 100), calculate the fraction of VOCs in the exhaust. Give your answer in parts per million.
What is the flow rate (Liters/Second) LT/S of the current passing through the AC pipe in the system given in the figure. Other data are given in the tables. Points B and C are open to the atmosphere, and the heights of these points from the reference plane are given in the Table.
