$A$ geyser heats water flowing at the rate of $3.0 \, L/min$ from $27 \, ^{\circ}C$ to $77 \, ^{\circ}C$. If the geyser operates on a gas burner,what is the rate of consumption (in $g/min$) of the fuel if its heat of combustion is $4.0 \times 10^{4} \, J/g$?

$A$ steam engine intakes $50 \, g$ of steam at $100^{\circ} C$ per minute and cools it down to $20^{\circ} C$. If the latent heat of vaporization of steam is $540 \, cal \, g^{-1}$,then the heat rejected by the steam engine per minute is .........$\times 10^{3} \, cal$.

$A$ block of ice at $-12^{\circ} C$ is slowly heated and converted into steam at $100^{\circ} C$. Which of the following curves best represents the event?

$A$ glass flask of volume $200 \, cm^3$ is just filled with mercury at $20^{\circ} C$. The amount of mercury that will overflow when the temperature of the system is raised to $100^{\circ} C$ is ........ $cm^3$ $(\gamma_{\text{glass}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C, \gamma_{\text{mercury}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C)$

The freezing point of a liquid decreases when pressure is increased,if the liquid:

If there are no heat losses,the heat released by the condensation of $x \, g$ of steam at $100^\circ C$ into water at $100^\circ C$ can be used to convert $y \, g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ into water at $100^\circ C$. Then the ratio $y : x$ is nearly (in $:1$)
