5.An 850 W consumer coffee maker can make 10 cups (1.75 liters) of 80 °C coffee from 20 °C tapwater in
10 minutes. What percentage of the electric energy consumed actually makes it to the coffee?
Solution:
•Qout = mc∆T
Qout = 441,000 J
•Win = Pt
Win = 510,000 J
η = Qout/Win
η = (441,000 J)/(510,000 J)
η = 86.5%
