In Washington,
a solar panel facing
south angled at 15 degrees receives
0.5 (+/- 0.5) kWh/m^2/day in the
winter. Solar panels are 20% efficient.
Another 20% of power is lost due to
heat. A house uses 45 kW per day in
the winter. What is the minimum
number of panels needed?
Your roommate leaves a 120 W fan running in your apartment. Over the course of an hour, how much thermal energy does the fan add to the air?
An incandescent lightbulb is an inexpensive but highly inefficient device that converts electrical energy into light. It converts about 10 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into light while converting the remaining 90 percent into heat. The glass bulb of the lamp heats up very quickly as a result of absorbing all that heat and dissipating it to the surroundings by convection and radiation. Consider an 8-cm-diameter 60-W lightbulb in a room at 25°C. The emissivity of the glass is 0.9. Assuming that 10 percent of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light with negligible absorption and the rest of the energy is absorbed and dissipated by the bulb itself by natural convection and radiation, determine the equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb. Assume the interior surfaces of the room to be at room temperature.
