Q.

In an industrial process, 10 kg of water per hour is to be heated from 20°C and 80°C . To do this, steam at 150°C  is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at 90°C . How many kg of steam is required per hour?
 Specific heat of steam = 1cal  g1°C1, and latent heat of steam = 540cal  g1

Detailed Solution

Heat required by 10kg of water to increase its temperature from 20 to 80°C  in one hour is  given by

Q1=mcΔTwater=10×10318020=600kcal

If m gram of steam is condensed per hour, the heat released by steam in converting into water at  90°C Q2=mcs150100+mLv+mcw10090

i.eQ2=m1×50+540+1×10=600mcalCs=Cw=1calg1°C

According to given problem Q2=Q1600m=600×103 m=1×103g=1kg
