An electric baseboard heater receives 1500 W of electrical power that heats the room air, which loses the same amount out through the walls and windows. Specify exaclty where entropy is generated in that process.
Homework Answers
amount of heat lost by one sysytem = amount of heat gained by another syste.
baseboard heater receives 1500 W energy and that heat is distributed to the room air where the molecules gained energy.entropy generated in this process is at baseboard heater.

A 1500 W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120 V circuit that has a 20 A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W , 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600 W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. Under what setting does the circuit breaker trip. Please, no...

An electric heater is initially at room temperature , which is 25 oC. It is turned on for 8 minutes, and consumes electric power at a rate of 44 W. The heater has a mass of 36 grams and a specific heat of 750 J/kgK. Determine the maximum possible temperature in unit of oC that the heater could reach while it is on. (Note: the maximum possible temperature would be reached if no energy is lost to the surroundings.) Round...
