The electrical energy used to light a house might go through the following sequence of conversion steps (assuming the fuel resource to be coal).
i) one tonne of coal is completely burned to produce steam in a boiler that has an efficiency of 86%;
ii) the hot, high-pressure steam passes through a steam turbine that has an efficiency of 34%;
iii) the spinning turbine drives a generator that has an efficiency of 98%; iv) the transmission lines from the generator to the house deliver electricity with an efficiency of 94%;
v) that delivered electrical energy powers a light bulb that converts it into visible light with an efficiency of 12%.
what fraction (expressed in %) of the primary energy in that original tonne of coal actually contributes to lighting the house? what happens to the rest of the energy?

Look at the data above. provide an explanation for europe’s projected population decrease by the year 2050. (i'm doing this for future kids) the answer is : the percentage of people over the age of 65 and under the age of 15 in europe is currently the same at 16% each. therefore, the majority of the population is between the ages of 16 and 64. in forty years from now, in 2050, a greater percentage of the population will be over the age of 65. europe also has a relatively long life expectancy of 75 years. this, combined with a low birth rate means that by 2050 europe’s population will actually be less than it is today.
