Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electric kettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a) Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electricalenergy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85%efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove burner converts chemical energy of natural gas to thermal energy with 98%efficiency (the other 2% is light). -The stovetop kettle transfers 35% of…

This is Problem 13 of Chapter 3 in Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap, 2nd Edition. I need help solving it: A coal-fired generating station has an efficiency of 38% and produces an average electrical output of 1000 MWe.(a) How much coal does it burn per second (kg/s)? Assume the coal is bituminous.(b) How much heat (in joules) is released to the environment per second?(c) How many liters of water at 20°C could the heat in part (b) boil (at STP) per second? For c, here is my idea: use Q = mc(change in T). Here change in T is (100 C - 20 C) or 80 C and c = 4200 J/(kg C) so I can solve for m. Question: I need the density of water to find liters, but density changes with temperature. So, do I use the regular 1000 kg/m^3 or something else?

Estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from power production for the following threescenarios. Focus on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with theoperational energy, not the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacture of theproduct or end of life processes.The hourly load demand for a home is given.1) All power during an hour of up to 5 kW is drawn from a baseload coal powerplant. Any power in excess of that amount is drawn from a peaker plant running as anatural gas combined cycle power plant.2) Localized solar energy production is provided in the table on the next page.Energy demand by the house is first met by this solar generation. If the total hourlyenergy demand is below 5 kW, then any extra energy required beyond that provided bythe solar panels is drawn from a coal power plant. If the total hourly demand is above 5kW, then any extra hour demand beyond 5 kW is met by a natural gas combined cyclepower plant. No credit is given if the solar energy production…
