A very simple solar engine absorbs heat through a collector. The collector loses some of the heat it absorbs by convection, and the remainder is passed through a heat engine to produce electricity. The heat engine operates with one-half the Carnot efficiency with its low-temperature side at ambient temperatureTb and its high temperature side at the steady-state temperature of the collector, Tc. Rate of heat loss from the collector = k (Tc -Tamb) where T1 is the temperature at which heat enters thesolar collector, and k is the overall heat transfer coefficient;all temperatures are absolute. What collector temperature produces the maximum rate at which work is produced for a given heat flux tothe collector?

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
