Heat and Thermodynamics 1 Question 19

19. Earth receives 1400W/m2 of solar power. If all the solar energy falling on a lens of area 0.2m2 is focussed onto a block of ice of mass 280g, the time taken to melt the ice will be … minutes. (Latent heat of fusion of ice =3.3×105J/kg )

(1997, 2M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Heat required to melt the block

=(0.28kg)(3.3×105J/kg)=9.24×104J

Heat received per second =(1400J/m2)(0.2m2)=280J

Time taken (in minutes) =9.24×104280×60=5.5
