In this lesson, we will learn how to correctly draw and interpret Sankey diagrams for processes that involve the transfer of energy.
Q1:
Diagram (a) is a Sankey diagram of a 1.8 kW kettle. Diagram (b) is a Sankey diagram of an 80 W light bulb.
Which device is more efficient?
What is the efficiency of the kettle?
What is the efficiency of the light bulb?
Q2:
The image shows a Sankey diagram for a light bulb that is supplied with 100 J of energy, where 80 J of energy is wasted as heat. What is the useful energy output of the bulb?
Q3:
The image shows a Sankey diagram for a 1.7 kW kettle turned on for 3 minutes.
Is the majority of the energy supplied to the kettle wasted or transferred usefully?
Q4:
The image shows a Sankey diagram for a light bulb that has been drawn incorrectly. In which of the following ways has the diagram been drawn incorrectly?
Q5:
The image shows a Sankey diagram for a car motor that is supplied with 2 4 0 0 J of energy, where 480 J of the energy is converted into useful kinetic energy. How much energy is wasted?
Q6:
The image shows a Sankey diagram of a 100 W light bulb.
What does 1 square of the diagram represent?
How much energy is wasted as heat by the light bulb?
