Question

In July in Los Angeles, the incident sunlight at ground levelhas a power density of 1.2 kW/m2 at noon. Aswimming poolof area 50m2 is directly exposed to the sun. What is themaximum rate of loss of water? Assume that all the radiant energyis absorbed.

Explanation / Answer

power = 1.2 kW/ m2    *50 m2 = 60 Watts = 60J/seconds Heat = heat to raise temp + latent heat = mass*Cp*T +mass*latent heat = mass*[Cp*T + latent heat] rate of water loss = (60 J/s) / [ 4.18 J/g-C*[100 C - 25 C] + 40.65kJ/mol * 1000 J/1kJ * 1mol/18g] rate of water loss= 2.33 x 10-2 gram/s
