Chapter 4 Problem 4154

Question

1.5 kg of liquid water initially at 128C is to be heated at 958C in a teapot equipped with a 800-W electric heating element inside. The specific heat of water can be taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg8C, and the heat loss from the water during heating can be neglected. The time it takes to heat water to the desired temperature is (a) 5.9 min (b) 7.3 min (c) 10.8 min (d) 14.0 min (e) 17.0 min

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 153 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 1.5 kg of liquid water initially at 128C is to be heated at 958C in a teapot equipped with a 800-W electric heating element inside. The specific heat of water can be taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg8C, and the heat loss from the water during heating can be neglected. The time it takes to heat water to the desired temperature is (a) 5.9 min (b) 7.3 min (c) 10.8 min (d) 14.0 min (e) 17.0 min
From the textbook chapter Energy Analysis of Closed Systems you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
