Overall Efficiency of a Light Bulb
AUDIO: It can be seen that to generate 6.2 units of light from a relatively efficient fluorescent bulb, we used up 100 units of energy from coal from the ground. This also means that during various conversion steps 93.8 units of energy is dissipated into the environment. NEW SCREEN A similar analysis on Automobile shown in Figure 3-7 and Table 3-3 shows that only about 10% of the energy in the crude oil in the ground is in fact turned into mechanical energy moving people. Figure – missing from word document but in printed document – need to get from Sarma: Titled “Overall Automobile Efficiency”- shows sequence of steps in converting chemical energy in crude oil in the ground to movement of a car: 
Production of crude Transportation to refinery Refining Transportation of gasoline Engine Transmission Movement Figure

Useful output from the engine is 1000J. How much heat is wasted? How can we improve the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine by changing the hot and cold reservoir temperatures? Most of the energy conversion devices that we use in our day-to-day life can be classified as Heat Engines. Give two examples The following diagram shows the energy flow to and from a furnace.
Heat energy Rejected though the tail pipe = 29,045,000 J Energy input is 30,000,000 cal Calculate is the efficiency of the furnace. You need show your work very clearly to get complete credit Multiple Choice QuestionsApproximately what percentage of electricity does an incandescent light bulb convert into visible light? 5 20 40 90 The following step efficiencies apply to the use of gasoline in a car: Crude production: 96%, Refining 87%, Transportation 97%, Engine efficiency 25%. What is the total efficiency of the process? 40% 30% 20% 50% The flame temperature in an automobile is 1,000 °C, and the exhaust is emitted at 70 °C. What is the Carnot efficiency? 25% 65% 73% 33% If the energy input of a system is 50 calories and the output is 25 calories, what is the system efficiency? 100% 50% 200% 25% Heat engines are inefficient because the energy conversion is From low entropy to high entropy From high entropy to low entropy From low temperature to high temperature From high temperature to low temperature Automobile engine efficiency increases in Summer Winter The useful output from a heat engine is 238 cal. The energy that is wasted is 5667 J? What is the Carnot efficiency of the engine? 4% 15% 17.6% none of the above Three energy conversion processes take place in succession. The first has an efficiency of 50%, the second is 40% efficient, and the third 5%. What is the overall efficiency (%) of the entire process?
