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 temperature of water of mass $100 \ g$ is raised from $24^{\circ} C$ to $90^{\circ} C$ by adding steam to it. The mass of the steam added is (Latent heat of steam $= 540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$ and specific heat capacity of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$) (in $g$)

$A$ sphere of $0.047 \; kg$ aluminium is placed for a sufficient time in a vessel containing boiling water,so that the sphere is at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$. It is then immediately transferred to a $0.14 \; kg$ copper calorimeter containing $0.25 \; kg$ water at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the water rises and attains a steady state at $23 \; ^{\circ}C$. Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminium in $kJ \; kg^{-1} K^{-1}$.
