At a power station,heat is removed from the heat exchanger by cooling water at $6.7 \times 10^9 \ J$ per minute. The cooling water enters at $6.0 \ ^oC$ and leaves at $14.0 \ ^oC$. [Take the specific heat capacity of water $4200 \ J/kg \ ^oC$]. Which of the following is the rate of water flow?

  • A
    $\frac{6.7 \times 10^9 \times 60}{4200 \times 8} \ kg \ s^{-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{6.7 \times 10^9}{4200 \times 8 \times 60} \ kg \ s^{-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{4200 \times 8}{6.7 \times 10^9 \times 60} \ kg \ s^{-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{4200 \times 8 \times 60}{6.7 \times 10^9} \ kg \ s^{-1}$

$10 \, kg$ of water is to be heated from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ in $1 \, hour$. Steam at $150^{\circ}C$ is passed through a copper coil immersed in the water. The steam condenses and returns to the boiler at $90^{\circ}C$. How much steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal/g^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of vaporization $= 540 \, cal/g$)

Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \ kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.2 \ kg$ at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and water in it increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of steam condensed in $kg$ is nearly (specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$, latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \ cal/g$)

Three copper blocks of masses $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3$ $kg$ respectively are brought into thermal contact until they reach equilibrium. Before contact,they were at temperatures $T_1, T_2, T_3$ $(T_1 > T_3)$. Assuming there is no heat loss to the surroundings,the equilibrium temperature $T$ is ($s$ is the specific heat of copper).

$A$ piece of metal weighing $100 \,g$ is heated to $80^{\circ} C$ and dropped into $1 \,kg$ of cold water in an insulated container at $15^{\circ} C$. If the final temperature of the water in the container is $15.69^{\circ} C$,the specific heat of the metal in $J / g^{\circ} C$ is:

Three liquids with masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are thoroughly mixed. If their specific heats are $c_1, c_2, c_3$ and their temperatures are $T_1, T_2, T_3$ respectively,then the temperature of the mixture is
