प्रश्न
A geyser heats water flowing at the rate of 3.0 litres per minute from 27 °C to 77 °C. If the geyser operates on a gas burner, what is the rate of consumption of the fuel if its heat of combustion is 4.0 × 104 J/g?

उत्तर १
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 = T2 – 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 = `(6.3 xx 0^5)/(4xx10^4) = 15.75 "g/min"`
उत्तर २
Volume of water heated = 3.0 litre per minute Mass of water heated, m = 3000 g per minute Increase in temperature,
`triangle T = 77^@C - 27^@C =50^@C`
Specific heat of water, `c = 4.2 Jg^(-1) ""^@ C^(-1)`
Amount of heat used = `Q = mctriangleT`
or `Q = 3000 "gmin"^(-1) xx 4.2 Jg^(-1) ""^@C^(-1)xx50^@C`
`= 63 xx 10^4 J min^(-1)`
Rate of combustion of fuel = `(63xx10^4 J min^(-1))/(4.0xx10^4 Jg^(-1))` = 15.75 `"g min"^(-1)`

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a 0.20 kg block of the metal at 150 °C is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent 0.025 kg) containing 150 cm3 of water at 27 °C. The final temperature is 40 °C. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?
