A solar hot-water-heating system consists of a hot-water tank and a solar panel. The tank is well insulated and has a
time constant of 60 hr. The solar panel generates 2200 Btu/hr during the day, and the tank has a heat capacity of
3°F per thousand Btu. If the water in the tank is initially 105°F and the room temperature outside the tank is 81°F,
what will be the temperature in the tank after 10 hr of sunlight?

In a solar water heater, energy from the Sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector.The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the efficiency of the overall system is 20% (that is, 80% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise the temperature of 200 L of water in the tank from 20C to 40°C in 1.0 h when the intensity of incident sunlight is 700 W/m2?
Compressed air can be pumped underground into huge caverns as a form of energy storage. The volume of a cavern is 6.3 x 105 m³,

and the pressure of the air in it is 7.4 × 106 Pa. Assume that air is a diatomic ideal gas whose internal energy U is given by U = nRT.
If one home uses 30.0 kWh of energy per day, how many homes could this internal energy serve for one day?
