Water is flowing at a rate of 3.0 litre/min.
The geyser heats the water, raising the temperature from 27°C to 77°C.
Initial temperature, T1 = 27°C
Final temperature, T2 = 77°C
∴Rise in temperature, ΔT = T 2-T1= 77 – 27= 50°C
Heat of combustion = 4 × 104 J/g
Specific heat of water, c = 4.2 J g -1°c-1
Mass of flowing water, m = 3.0 litre/min = 3000 g/min
Total heat used, ΔQ = mc ΔT
= 3000 × 4.2 × 50 = 6.3 × 105 J/min
∴ Rate of consumption = \(\frac{6.3×10^5}{4×10^4}=15.75\) g/min
In the given cycle ABCDA, the heat required for an ideal monoatomic gas will be:
Three identical rods are joined as shown in the figure. The left and right ends are kept at \( 0^\circ C \) and \( 90^\circ C \) as shown in the figure. The temperature \( \theta \) at the junction of the rods is:
take on sth: | to begin to have a particular quality or appearance; to assume sth |
take sb on: | to employ sb; to engage sb to accept sb as one’s opponent in a game, contest or conflict |
take sb/sth on: | to decide to do sth; to allow sth/sb to enter e.g. a bus, plane or ship; to take sth/sb on board |
