A steam engine intakes 50g50g of steam at 100°C100 ° C per minute and cools it down to 20°C20 ° C. If latent heat of vaporization of steam is 540calg−1540cal{g}^{- 1}, then the heat rejected by the steam engine per minute is _____ ×103cal\times {10}^{3}cal

(Given : specific heat capacity of water : 1calg−1C∘−11cal{g}^{- 1}{C ∘}^{- 1})

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Heat rejected by the steam engine per minute will be equal to latent heat per minute plus heat rejected by the water to cool down.

∆H∆t=∆m∆tL+∆m∆ts∆T⇒∆H∆t=50×540+50×1×80=31000calmin−1=31×103calmin−1\dfrac{∆ H}{∆ t} = \dfrac{∆ m}{∆ t}L + \dfrac{∆ m}{∆ t}s ∆ T ⇒ \dfrac{∆ H}{∆ t} = 50 \times 540 + 50 \times 1 \times 80 = 31000cal{min}^{- 1} = 31 \times {10}^{3}cal{min}^{- 1}
