Converting sunlight to electricity with solar cells has an efficiency of 15%. It's possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine. Each dish in (Figure 1) concentrates sunlight on one side of a heat engine, producing a hot-reservoir temperature of 560 ∘C. The cold reservoir, ambient air, is approximately 30 ∘C. The actual working efficiency of this device is 30%.
What is the theoretical maximum efficiency?
A vessel that contains water is moved by paddles that have falling masses. This agitation warms the water and increases its internal energy. If a total mass of 11.5 kg falls 1.3 m and all of the mechanical energy is converted to internal energy, by how much will the internal energy of the water increase? (Assume no energy is transferred as heat out of the vessel to the surroundings or from the surroundings to the vessel's interior.)
A gasoline engine has a power output of 170 kW (about 2.28×105 hp ). Its thermal efficiency is 22.0 %. How much heat must be supplied to the engine per second? Express your answer in joules per second. How much heat is discarded by the engine per second? Express your answer in joules per second.

- Suppose you want to raise the temperature of a mass m of ice from T0 < 0 °C to T > 100 °C. In this problem, represent the heat of fusion as Lf, the heat of vaporization as Lv, and the temperatures at which the phase changes occur as Tf and Tv. How much heat must be transferred for this to happen, including the energy needed for phase changes? Your answer should be in terms of the variables in the introduction and the specific heats of ice (ci), water (cw), and steam (cs).

A SEER rating is the ratio of heat pumped to energy input, similar to a COP but using English units, so a higher SEER rating means a more efficient model. You can determine the COP of an air conditioner by dividing the SEER rating by 3.4. For inside temperature 24 ∘C and outside temperature 35 ∘C when you'd be using air conditioning, estimate the theoretical maximum SEER rating of an air conditioner. (New air conditioners must have a SEER rating that exceeds 13, quite a bit less than the theoretical maximum, but there are practical issues that reduce efficiency.)arrow_forwardImagine that a hypothetical life form is discovered on our moon and transported to Earth.

If both the extraterrestrial life form and the scientist lose 568 g of sweat over the course of one hour, calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweatarrow_forward
