Suppose you have two kettles --a plug-in electric kettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electrical energy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with 92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85% efficiency. -The stove burner converts chemical energy of natural gas to thermal energy with 98% efficiency (the other 2% is light). -The stovetop kettle transfers 35% of the stove’s thermal energy to the water in the kettle.

The efficiency of a thermal machine cannot have a value of 1 because a) There is no apparent reason, it is simply because of the way the calculation is made. b) it is impossible for a system to carry out a process in which the result is to use work to absorb heat from a source at low temperature c) it is impossible for a system to carry out a process in which the result is to absorb heat from a source at high temperature and convert it into work. d) it is impossible for a system to carry out a process in which it returns to the initial state and the result is to absorb heat from a source at high temperature and convert it entirely into work.
In a kitchen there are two identical pots that have been previously heated, one of the pans is filled with 500ml of Water at 100◦C and the other with 500 no of oil at 130◦C. After that, there is more fire that continues to introduce heat to both liquids. In that instant, a person who had cut 300 g of potato into small cubes at a temperature of 25◦C, decides to pour half the amount of potato in boiling water and the other half in burning oil. Knowing that Water density is the 1.00 g / ml; the oil density = 0.87 g / ml; theSpecific heat of water = 4186 J/ kg ·◦C, is theOil specific heat = 2000 J/ kg ·◦C is thePotato specific heat = 5530 J /kg ·◦C (a) Determine the temperature of the thermal equilibrium between the potatoes in water, and the same portion in oil, considering each cases as isolated systems.
