A kettle with 2 litre water at 270C is heated by operating coil heater of power 1 kW. The heat is lost to the atmosphere at constant rate 160J/sec, when its lid is open. In how much time will water heated to 770C with the lid open ? (specific heat of water = 4.2 kJ/ kg)

A

8 min 20 sec

B

6 min 2 sec

C

14 min

D

7 min

Answer

8 min 20 sec

Explanation

Solution

Pinput = 1 kW = 1000Jsec\frac{J}{\sec}; Ploss = 160 Jsec\frac{J}{\sec}

Puseful = Pinput – Ploss = 840 Jsec\frac{J}{\sec} = mSΔTt\frac{mS\Delta T}{t}
