$A$ water cooler of storage capacity $120$ litres can cool water at a constant rate of $P$ watts. In a closed circulation system (as shown schematically in the figure),the water from the cooler is used to cool an external device that generates constantly $3 \text{ kW}$ of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device cannot exceed $30^{\circ}\text{C}$ and the entire stored $120$ litres of water is initially cooled to $10^{\circ}\text{C}$. The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of $P$ (in watts) for which the device can be operated for $3$ hours is (Specific heat of water is $4.2 \text{ kJ kg}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}$ and the density of water is $1000 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$)

  • A
    $1600$
  • B
    $2067$
  • C
    $2533$
  • D
    $3933$

$A$ given mass $m$ of a hypothetical solid is supplied with heat continuously at a constant rate and the graph shown in the figure is plotted. If $L_f$ and $L_v$ are latent heats of fusion and vaporization,and $S_l$ and $S_s$ are specific heats of liquid and solid respectively,it can be concluded that:

$A$ 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 .........$\times 10^{3} \, cal$.
