Heat and Thermodynamics 1 Question 10
10. A water cooler of storage capacity 120 litres can cool water at a constant rate of 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 of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device cannot exceed and the entire stored 120 litres of water is initially cooled to . The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of (in watts) for which the device can be operated for 3 hours is
