- Please answer the following question(s): 1. (a) What is the best coefficient of performance for a refrigerator that cools an environment at -28° C and has heat transfer to another environment at 47 ° C? COP ref (b) How much work must be done for a heat transfer of 4186 kJ from the cold environment? W = kj (c) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.6 × 106 J (a kilowatt-hour)? Cost in cents = ✓ (d) How many kJ of heat transfer, Qh occurs into the warm environment? Qh= kj Think about what type of refrigerator might operate between these temperatures. Hint: Use the appropriate formula for a refrigerator which is different from a heat pump.arrow_forwardAn 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_forwardHeating The amount of chemical potential energy stored in one gallon of heating oil is approximately 130 MJ. 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_forward
- please 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_forwardThe total consumption of electrical energy in the United States is about 1.37 x 1019 joules per year. ▼ Part A What is the average rate of electrical energy consumption in watts? VO ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer Part B V Submit ΑΣΦ 4 If the population of the United States is 310 million, what is the average rate of electrical energy consumption per person? Give your answer in kilowatts per person. Request Answer B O ? 24 W 4 kW/personarrow_forwardIn a certain process, the energy of the system decreases by 250 kJ. The process involves 480 kJ of work done on the system. Find the amount of heat Q transferred in this process. Express your answer numerically in kilojoules. Make your answer positive if the heat is transferred into the system; make it negative if the heat is transferred into the surroundings.arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardThe figure (Figure 1)shows the cycle for a heat engine that uses a gas having γ=1.25. The initial temperature is T1=300K, and this engine operates at 30 cycles per second. What is the power output of the engine? Pout = 1.6 kW What is the engine's thermal efficiency?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
- 27 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_forwardA closed system undergoes a process during which 600 kJ of heat is added to the system and the stored energy increases by 1800 kJ.
