Question

1.  How long (in seconds) will it take to heat 40 kg of water from 40°C to 80°C with a 20-kW immersion heater? Assume no energy is lost to the environment and specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kgoC.

 

2. The heat of vaporization of water is 2260 kJ/kg and the heat of fusion of water is 335 kJ/kg. Use the specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kg·oC

    • 2a) How much energy (in kJ) will it take to raise the temperature of water (15 kg) from 0°C to 100oC?
    • 2b) How much energy (in kJ) would it take to then completely convert the water to steam?

 

3. You want to raise the temperature of 22kg of water from 60°C to 95°C. If electricity costs $0.08/kWh, how much would it cost you to use an electric heater for this process? Use the specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kgoC and 1 kJ = 0.00028 kWh.
