Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 7RQ
You are part of an engineering firm on contract with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy task force to develop a program to help consumers measure the efficiency of their home appliances. Your job is to write a program that measures the efficiency of stove-top burners. Before using your program, the consumer will place a pan of room-temperature water on the stove (with + gallon of water), record the initial room temperature in units of degrees Fahrenheit, turn on the burner, and wait for it to boil. When the water begins to boil, the consumer will record the time in units of minutes it takes for the water to boil. Finally, the consumer will look up the power for the burner provided by the manufacturer.
The output of your program should look like the following output, where the highlighted values are example responses typed by the user into your program. Note that your code should line up the energy and power calculations as shown. In addition, your code must display the efficiency as a percentage with one decimal place and must include a percent symbol.
Sample Input/Output
Household Appliance Efficiency Calculator: Stove
Type the initial room temperature of the water [deg E]: 68 Type the time it takes the water to boil [min]: 21 Type the brand name and model of your stove: Krispy 32-Z Type the power of the stove-top burner [W]: 1200
Energy required: 1267909 J
Power used by burner: 1006 W
Burner efficiency for a Krispy 32-Z stove: 83.9
