Heat and Thermodynamics 1 Question 10

10. 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 3kW of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device cannot exceed 30C and the entire stored 120 litres of water is initially cooled to 10C. The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of P (in watts) for which the device can be operated for 3 hours is

(2016 Adv.)

(Specific heat of water is 4.2kJkg1K1 and the density of water is 1000kgm3 )

(a) 1600

(b) 2067

(c) 2533

(d) 3933

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Heat generated in device in 3h

= time × power =3×3600×3×103=324×105J

Heat used to heat water

=msΔθ=120×1×4.2×103×20J

Heat absorbed by coolant

=Pt=324×105120×1×4.2×103×20JPt=(325100.8)×105JP=223.2×1083600=2067W
