4 Midterm exam November 5, 2009 Page The cannonball engine (at right) runs in cycles in which the canister is moved from the cold water to hot water to lift a weight 0.1 meters, and the canister is subsequently moved back to the cold water to cause the piston to return to its starting position. The cold and hot water are kept at constant temperature, and each time a weight is lifted, 10 Joules of thermal energy is transferred into the canister.

6 Midterm exam November 5, 2009 Page A 500MW power plant consumes coal containing BTU s of thermal energy every day. What is the efficiency of the power plant? Electrical energy produced by the power plant in one day: (500x10 6 J/s)(3600 sec/hr)(24 hrs/day)(1 day) = 4.32 x J Thermal energy in one day s worth of coal: (1.167x BTU s)(1055 J/BTU) = 1.23x J Efficiency = 4.32 x J 1.23x J = = 35.1% 23. Name the four primary energy sources that supply most of the energy consumed in the United States. Of these four, which supplies the most energy? Of these four, which supplies the least energy? Oil (the most) Coal Natural Gas Nuclear (the least) 24. What are some examples of energy infrastructure that have taken many decades to build? Railroads, coal-based power plants and uranium enrichment facilities are all examples. Other examples might include (but are not limited to) oil drilling and oil refining facilities, pipelines to carry oil, pipelines to carry natural gas and coal-mining facilities.
7 Midterm exam November, 2009 Page Isaac Asimov s short story The Last Question explored the implications of what physical principle or law? The 2nd law of thermodynamics, or equivalently, the fact that entropy always increases. 26. Why is the production of biodiesel from algae a particularly promising technology for the future? Algae-produced biodiesel is particularly promising because the land area required to produce it is much smaller than the land area required for any other biofuel. It is the only biofuel for which production could be scaled up to the amount of liquid fuel that is currently being consumed. The land area is small because it grows so quickly, doubling its biomass in 24 hours under the right conditions. 27. It has been suggested that natural gas could help serve as a bridge to an era in which we rely more on renewable energy sources. Give at least one compelling reason why shifting more toward the use of natural gas is a good idea. Because we have more natural gas (in terms of energy) than oil, and it is cleaner and would emit less CO 2 than coal.
