Science Bowl Question

📅 NSB Round Robin 2013🎓 MS🔄 Round 8#️⃣ Question 10🌟 BONUS✍️ Short Answer

To be able to quantify the energy produced by a solar collector, the following formula is utilized: Q = (m)(Cp)(Tr – Ts) [Q equals m times C sub p times the quantity T sub r minus T sub s], where Q is the collector heat rate; m is the mass flowrate, Cp is the specific heat, Tr is the temperature of the liquid in the return path, and Ts is the temperature of the liquid in the supply path. Using 3000 operating hours in a year, compute the yearly heat rate production in kilojoules of a solar collector if m = 2 kilograms per hour, Cp = 4 kilojoules over kilograms Kelvin, Tr = 425 Kelvin, and Ts = 375 Kelvin.
