How is the heat transfer by evaporation fundamentally different than conduction, radiation and convection?
• A thermos has two layers of glass with a vacuum in between, a silvered coating and a top. Explain, using the four means of heat transfer, how this construction minimizes heat loss. • Problems (Handout). • 9/24-9/26: Read the following Wikipedia entries: World Energy Resources and Consumption, peak oil, fossil fuel, photo electric effect, photosynthesis. • Homework (Assignment 5 due 10/3). • Explain how a photo cell works. What are some improvements that have been made in photo cell design? • Compare the relative efficiencies of photocells versus photosynthesis. • In about a page, explain the concept of peak oil (start with a bullet summary of the Wikipedia entry). Include arguments for and against the idea that oil production will peak within the next 10 years (include a link to a reasonably believable anti-peak web site). Discuss the possible outcome of a peak in oil production (worst case/best case scenarios). In your (now) expert opinion, what do you think is going to happen? • Hu
