The answer is C) 205.36 but I am confused on the steps of how to solve this problem.
(a) Calculate the power per square meter reaching Earth’s upper atmosphere from the Sun. (Take the power output of the Sun to be 4.00×1026 W.) (b) Part of this is absorbed and reflected by the atmosphere, so that a maximum of 1.30 kW/m2
reaches Earth’s surface. Calculate the area in
km2
of solar energy collectors needed to replace an electric
power plant that generates 750 MW if the collectors convert
an average of 2.00% of the maximum power into electricity.
(This small conversion efficiency is due to the devices
themselves, and the fact that the sun is directly overhead only
briefly.) With the same assumptions, what area would be
needed to meet the United States’ energy needs
(1.05×1020 J)? Australia’s energy needs (5.4×1018 J)?
China’s energy needs (6.3×1019 J)? (These energy
consumption values are from 2006.)

- You extend an impromptu invitation to a friend for dinner. The only food you have is a couple of frozen steaks. You wish to defrost the steaks before grilling them. You defrost one by using your microwave oven, and you defrost the other by placing it in a bowl of very warm water. In each case, decide whether heat is transferred by conduction, convection, radiation, or some combination of these mechanisms.

- A constant volume (CV) air handling unit delivers 10,000 cfm of air to a The supply fan inside the unit operates at 1,750 RPM and is designed to overcome 2.5 inches of static pressure. The fan motor is 20 HP and the air handling unit operates for exactly half of the year. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is installed on the supply fan at a cost of $12,000, now making this a VAV unit. Using the VFD, the fan speed is reduced by 20%. Answer the following questions: What is the new CFM the AHU can deliver to the room? What is the new HP of the fan motor? What is the new static pressure that the fan can now overcome?

City water at 15°C is heated to 55°C in an electric water heater and tempered to 42°C by cold water at the T-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower heads. Assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kJ/kg·°C for water, determine (a) the ratio of the flow rates of the hot and cold water as they enter the T-elbow and (b) the amount of electricity that will be saved per year, in kWh, by replacing the standard shower heads by the low-flow ones.arrow_forward
