✔ 最佳答案
(a) Consider a time interval of 1 s,
heat absorbed by water = 0.3 x 4200 x (70-20) J = 630 000 J
where 4200 J/kg-K is the specific heat capacity of water
hence, power of heater = 630 kW
(b) Amount of heat given by hot water
= 0.3 x (3x60) x 4200 x (70-T) J
where T is the final temperature of the mixture
Amount of heat absorbed by cold water
= 0.2 x (3x60) x 4300 x (T-20) J
using the heat balance equation,
0.3 x (3x60) x 4200 x (70-T) = 0.2 x (3x60) x 4300 x (T-20)
solve for T
(c) To well mix the hot and cold water in order to obtain a uniform water temperature.
