First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.

1. A typical tablet battery recharger provides 10 Watts of power. 60% of this power is converted to chemical potential energy of the battery while the rest is lost as heat. When filled, the rechargeable battery can hold 45,000 Joules of chemical energy. How long does it take to completely charge the drained battery?
1. A person with a basal metabolic rate of 90 W has a continuous (24-hr) average power output, without any physical exertion, of 90 W. If this person consumes 2500 food calories per day and burns 500 calories per day doing additional physical activity, will they gain or lose weight?
5. How many Joules of energy is in one kilowatt hour? Our classroom has about 20 lights, each with 50 W power rating. How many hours could a generator operating at 100% efficiency supply this power from one gallon of gasoline? If the generator operated at a realistic efficiency of 20%?
When a certain type of coal is burned at a power plant, 22.6 ×106×106 joules per kilogram are released that is subsequently used to boil water and produce steam. The steam then does work on the turbine to produce electricity. If power is produced at a rate of 480 megawatts as 102000 kilograms of coal are burned per hour, what is the efficiency of the power plant?
Is the engine still firing? Explain.
In Arizona, photovoltaic (PV) panels can generate an average annual power of 1 MW/acre. If there are 311 sunny days per year in Arizona, but only 160 sunny days per year in Pennsylvania, how much average power (in MW/acre) could the same PV panels generate in Pennsylvania? Please include two decimal places in your answer. Note: assume that a cloudy day delivers 0 watts/acre of solar power. This is not true, but it simplifies the problem for us.
