A gas based geyser heats water flowing at the rate of 5.0 litres per minute from 27 to 87 . The rate of consumption of the gas is g/s. (Take heat of combustion of gas = 5.0 104 J/g, specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg C)

  1. 4.2
  2. 2.1
  3. 0.21
  4. 0.42

Answer

(4) 0.42

Solution

Mass of water heated per second (1 litre of water = 1 kg):

mt = 5.0 kg60 s = 112 kg/s

Heat required per second:

Qt = mt c T = 112 4200 (87 - 27)

Qt = 21000 J/s

Rate of consumption of gas = 210005.0 104 = 0.42 g/s

Answer: (4)

Two cylindrical rods A and B made of different materials, are joined in a straight line. The ratios of lengths, radii and thermal conductivities of these rods are: LALB = 12, rArB = 2 and KAKB = 12. The free ends of rods A and B are maintained at 400 K, 200 K, respectively. The temperature of rods interface is K, when equilibrium is established.
