An iron boiler of mass 230 kg contains 830 kg of water at 18C.
A heater supplies energy at the rate of 52,000 kj/h. How longdoes
it take for the water a) to reach the boiling point, and b) toall
have changed to steam?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total time is 41.38 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass 230 kg

Mass of water = 830 kg

Temperature = 18 C

Rate of energy supplied = 52000 Kj/h

Let the boiling temperature of the water be 100°C

(a). We need to calculate the energy

So from the principle of calorimeter

[tex]m_{b}C_{i}(T_{b}-T_{i})+m_{w}C_{w}(T_{b}-T_{i})=Q_{i}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]230\times450+830\times4186(100-18)=Q_{i}[/tex]

[tex]Q_{i}=285002660\ J[/tex]

[tex]Q_{i}=2.85\times10^{8}\ J[/tex]

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of energy

[tex]Q_{i}=Pt[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac{Q_{i}}{P}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]t=\dfrac{2.85\times10^{8}}{52000\times10^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]t=5.48\ hours[/tex]

(b). There is no change in temperature.

So the additional heat required to change the water into steam is

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of energy

[tex]Q=m_{w}L_{s}[/tex]

[tex]Q=830\times22.6\times10^{5}[/tex]

[tex]Q=1.87\times10^{9}\ J[/tex]

We need to calculate the additional time

Using formula of additional time

[tex]t'=\dfrac{Q}{P}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]t'=\dfrac{1.87\times10^{9}}{52000\times10^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]t'=35.9\ hours[/tex]

We need to calculate the total time

Using formula of time

[tex]t''=t+t'[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]t''=5.48+35.9[/tex]

[tex]t''=41.38\ hours[/tex]

Hence, The total time is 41.38 hours.
