Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 544

Question: Steam at 1atmand100C enters a radiator & leaves as water at 1atmand80C, take Ly=540 cal/cm and swater=11cal/gm/C. If the total energy given off as heat, the % age arises from the cooling of water is

Options:

A) 100

B) 54

C) 3.6

D) 8.2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let m is the amount of steam that passes off the radiator.

Heat released due to condensation of steam, H1=mLv=540mcal

Heat released due to cooling of water,

H2=msΔθ=m×1×20=20mcal

Required percentage

=H2H1+H2×100=20m560m×100=3.6
