Part C: The Earth’s atmosphere can be considered to be a heat engine, in the Carrot (thermodynamic) sense. The temperature at top of the upper atmosphere is that necessary to radiate infrared energy back into space so to balance that gained from the sun. The surface is heated by the sun and insulated by the atmosphere (the greenhouse effect) so it’s warmer. 1) What is the efficiency of this heat engine if the air at Earth’s surface is 288 K...

In a solar water heater, energy from the Sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector. The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the efficiency of the overall system is 14.0% (that is, 86% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise the temperature of 280...

A 60-dB sound wave strikes an eardrum whose area is 5.0×10?5m2. The intensity of the reference level required to determine the sound level is 1.0×10?12W/m2. 1yr=3.156×107s. How much energy is absorbed by the eardrum per second?At this rate, how long would it take the eardrum to receive a total energy of 1.0 J?
