Q.

An electric heater with constant heat supply rate is used to convert a certain amount of liquid ammonia to saturated vapour at high pressure. The heater takes 14 minutes to bring the liquid at  15°C to the boiling point of 50°C and 92 minutes to convert the liquid at the boiling point wholly to vapour. If the specific heat capacity of liquid ammonia is 4.9 kJ/kg K, the latent heat of vaporization of ammonia in kJ/kg is

Detailed Solution

Let mass of liquid ammonia taken is m and rate of heat supplied is r. Then as per given condition,
 r×14=m×4.9×5015 and  r×92=mL
Dividing these, we get
9214=14.9×5015 or  L=92×4.9×3514
 = 1127 kJ/kg
