Title: Question relating to Enthalpy
Post by: equilibrium_K on November 29, 2007, 10:42:25 AM
Hi,

I would really appreciate it if you could help me out with this question.

Ontario’s electrical consumption is typically 20,000 MW. If all the H2O(g) in the atmosphere (assume it is 2% by volume) suddenly condensed to H2O(l), and all the enthalpy of this process was captured and converted to electrical energy, how long would this energy power the Province of Ontario?

Thanks!
