A student buys a 5000 Btu window air conditioner for his apartment bedroom. He monitors it for one hour on a hot day and determines that it operates approximately 60 percent of the time (duty cycle = 60 percent) to keep the room at nearly constant temperature. (a) Showing all your work and using unity conversion ratios, calculate the rate of heat transfer into the bedroom through the walls, windows, etc. in units of Btu/h and in units of kW. (b) If the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the air conditioner is 9.0 and electricity costs 7.5 cents per kilowatt-hr, calculate how much it costs (in cents) for him to run the air conditioner for one hour.

Round everything to 4 decimal places. Since Lucas is an engineer familiar with thermodynamics. He decided to create his own heat engine at home to avoid paying for electricity. He created a small, makeshift heat engine for trial. The combustion of his fuel, diesel, reaches a temperature of 750°C, while waste heat is disposed to the atmosphere at 50°C.He, then connected a generator and a heat pump to the heat engine to check the amount of power being produced. Assume that the heat pump will be used to warm his room to 25°C, while the outside temperature is at 5°C. Lucas’ rooms loses 85,000 kJ/hr of heat. And, 25% of the heat engine’s power output goes to the heat pump. How much diesel (in kg) needs to be burned by the heat engine to maintain the temperature in Lucas’ room?

give a specific example of a process that has the energy changes and transfers described. (For example, if the question states “ΔEth > 0, W = 0,” you are to describe a process that has an increase in thermal energy and no transfer of energy by work. You could write “Heating a pan of water on the stove.”) ΔEth < 0, W ≠ 0, Q ≠ 0
