What is the change in internal energy of a system which does 4.50 X 105 J of work while 3.00 X 106 J of heat transfer occurs in a system, and 8.00 X 106 J of heat transfers to the environment?
If I add 12,183 J of energy to an ideal gas inside a balloon causing the internal energy to increase by 5185 J, how much work is done on the environment by the gas as the balloon expands?
A 4-ton air conditioner removes 5.06×107 J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating ( EER ) of 12.0?
(b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60×106J (one kilowatt-hour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating ( EER ) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.
