In an electrically heated home, the temperature of the ground in contact with a concrete basement wall is 11.9 °C. The temperature atthe inside surface of the wall is 19.0 °C. The wall is 0.13 m thick and has an area of 7.5 m². Assume that one kilowatt hour of electricalenergy costs $0.10. How many hours are required for one dollar's worth of energy to be conducted through the wall?Number iUnits

The average electricity consumption of a house in Gainesville is known to be 1,036 kWh in a month (One month = 30 days). They would like to install solar panels of 30 % efficiency to generate this electricity. Given that the average solar power density in Gainesville is 5.47 kWh/m2/day, how much surface area must the panels occupy? Calculate the result in m² but do not write the unit. Round off you E swer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)
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.)
How long does a 52 kW water heater take to raise the temperature of 170Lof water from 20°C to 37°C? The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg-K. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm,
How much energy would you consume daily if you kept 3 lightbulbs of 25 watts on all day long?.
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching Earth's surface is 200 W/ m^2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If the average power requirement in your home is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10 % efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? (Will a collector fit in your yard or on your roof? ).
250 students sit in an auditorium listening to a physics lecture. Because they are thinking hard, each is using 125 W of metabolic power, slightly more than they would use at rest. An air conditioner with a COP of 5.0 is being used to keep the room at a constant temperature. What minimum electric powermust be used to operate the air conditioner?
How much energy would you consume daily if you kept a lightbulb of 20 watts on all daylong?
Many decisions are made on the basis of the payback period: the time it will take through savings to equal the capital cost of an investment. Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. (For some industries, a payback period is as small as two years.) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time. Take the average for the 120 day heating season to be 15.0C.
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching Earth’s surface is 200 W/m2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If the average power requirement in your home is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10% efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? (Will a collector fit in your yard or on your roof?)
An electrical coil is used to heat 20.0 kg of water in a closed well-insulated vessel. The water is initially at 25°C and 1 atm. The coil delivers a steady 3.25 kW of power to the vessel and its contents, 97% of which goes into heating the water. Determine how long it will take to heat the water to its normal boiling point. Answer in minutes with 3 sig. fig's in decimal format. Show all work starting from the full form of the appropriate balance and justifying any terms being zero or negligible. Cite any data sources used.
In Arizona, photovoltaic (PV) panels can generate an average annual power of 1 MW/acre. If there are 311 sunny days per year in Arizona, but only 160 sunny days per year in Pennsylvania, how much average power (in MW/acre) could the same PV panels generate in Pennsylvania? Please include two decimal places in your answer. Note: assume that a cloudy day delivers 0 watts/acre of solar power. This is not true, but it simplifies the problem for us.
