Textbook Question

Chapter 19, Problem 28P

You’re engineering an energy-efficient house that will require an average of 6.85 kW to heat on cold winter days. You’ve designed a photovoltaic system for electric power, which will supply on average 2.32 kW. You propose to heat the house with an electrically operated groundwater-based heat pump. What should you specify as the minimum acceptable COP for the pump if the photovoltaic system supplies its energy?

The engine of a large ship does 2.00 ✕ 108 J of work with an efficiency of 4.00% (a) How much heat transfer (in J) occurs to the environment? (b) How many barrels of fuel are consumed, if each barrel produces 6.00 ✕ 109 J of heat transfer when burned?

Calculate the net work output (in J) of a heat engine following path ABCDA in the figure, where V1 = 1.5 ✕ 10−3 m3 and V2 = 6.0 ✕ 10−3 m3.
