In an industrial process,$10 \, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20^\circ C$ to $80^\circ C$. To do this,steam at $150^\circ C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90^\circ C$. How many $kg$ of steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of steam $= 1 \, cal/g^\circ C$,Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \, cal/g$)

  • A
    $1 \, g$
  • B
    $1 \, kg$
  • C
    $10 \, g$
  • D
    $10 \, kg$

The specific heat of alcohol is about half that of water. Suppose you have identical masses of alcohol and water. The alcohol is initially at temperature $T_A$. The water is initially at a different temperature $T_W$. Now the two fluids are mixed in the same container and allowed to come into thermal equilibrium,with no loss of heat to the surroundings. The final temperature of the mixture will be :-
