Chapter 16, Problem 32P
Solar water heater. A solar water heater for domestic hot-water supply uses solar collecting panels with a collection efficiency of 50% in a location where the average solar-energy input is 200 W/m2. If the water comes into the house at 15.0°C and is to be heated to 60.0°C, what volume of water can be heated per hour if the area of the collector is 30.0 m2?

A 2.0 m2 solar panel is fully illuminated by sunlight. Assume the sunlight has a power density of 0.10 J/cm2 -s. a) If the efficiency of the solar panel is 16%, how much electrical energy will it deliver in one hour? b) If this energy is stored in a battery, how long will it keep a 100 W incandescent lightbulb burning if the bulb has an efficiency of 2.6%. (Efficiency of the lightbulb is the light out - - 100 W - to the electrical power in.)
