Yeji just came back from dance practice and went straight to her bedroom. It was summer so the temperature in her bedroom was estimated to be around 40°C. She then turned her air conditioner on, closed her door and windows, and it cooled her bedroom to 18°C in 20 minutes. Calculate,a. How much heat was transferred to cool her bedroom to 18°C?b. What is the power consumption of the air conditioner, in kW?The air conditioner has a COP of 2.8. Assume the mass of her entire bedroom to be 750 kg of air, Cv = 0.72 kJ/kg.°C and Cp = 1.0 kJ/kg.°C.*Round off all answers to four decimal places*

If we wanted to supply all the electricity needs for New York City (NYC), with a popula- tion of about 10 million people, using photovoltaics technology, how much land area would we need? What other elements would be required for such an idea to work for NYC? How large of an investment would this involve, and how would the price of electricity in ¢ per kWeh have to increase in order to recover that investment in 10 years at an interest rate of 8%? For comparison, the average New Yorker paid 12¢/kWeh in 2002.
