The “Energy Guide” label on a washing machine indicates that the washer will use $85 worth of hot water per year if the water is heated by an electric water heater at an electricity rate of $0.113/kWh. If the water is heated from 12 to 55°C, determine how many liters of hot water an average family uses per week. Disregard the electricity consumed by the washer, and take the efficiency of the electric water heater to be 91 percent.

- An electric heater supplies heat to a system at a rate of 100 W. If system performs work at a rate of 75 Joules per second. At what rate is the internal energy increasing?arrow_forwardA heat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. The same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. Heat pumps are widely used for home heating. You can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat QH, warming the indoors. Perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. Electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. This is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. That is, 19.0 kW of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kJ/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kJ/s.
