Question:
All these thermodynamic calculations can make you very hungry, right? Why dont you
prepare yourself a little bit of yummy ramen...?
As you stand on your Q kW stove watching the water boil at tc C in the kettle,
a brutal thermodynamic thought comes to your mind: Isnt it an unforgivable waste of
energy to use heat at th C of your glass ceramic cook surface just to boil water?
Use the Clausiusstatement for the reversible case to evaluate how much power a
device installed between the cooking surface and the boiling water could produce
from the heat flux. What heat rate would be left for cooking your water?
Does it make sense to use such a power generating device for stoves in this case?
Discuss cases in which such a device could really be useful; is there already an
invention working as described?
