On a cool night, a passive solar house is losing 20,000 kJ/hr to the outside surroundings. The house contains 75 kg air and a water tank which when exposed to sunlight during the day heats up to 80 oC. What is the mass of water in the tank required to maintain the house air temperature at 22 oC for 10 hours overnight? The Cp for water is 4.184 kJ/kg/K and Cv for air = 0.718 kJ/kg/K.

Explanation:

The total amount of heat released from the passive solar house is:

The mass of water required to maintain indoor air temperature is:

they start with the same

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
