In two experiments with a countinous flow calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of a liquid,an input power of 16 W produced a rise of 10 K in the liquid. When the power was doubled, the same temperature rise was achieved by making the rate of flow of liquid three times faster. Find the power lost (in W) to the surrounding in each case.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let power lost to surrounding is `Q`
`16-!=((dm)/(dt))S(10)`
and `32-Q=3[((dm)/(dt))S(10)]`
`implies(32-Q)/(16-Q)=3impliesQ=8W`

In two experimentsb with a continous flow calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of a liquid, an input power of 60 W produced a rise of 10 K in the liquid. When the power was doubled, the same temperature rise was achieved by making the rate of flow of liquid three times faster. The power lost to the surrounding in each case was-

A heater supplying constant power P watts is switched on at time t=0 minutes to raise the temperature of a liquid kept in a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. A student records the temperature of the liquid T(t) at equal time intervals. A graph is plotted with T(t) on the y-axis versus t on the x-axis. Assume that there is no heat loss to the surroundings during heating. Then,

The temperature of a hot liquid in a container of negligible heat capacity falls at the rate of 3K//min due to heat emission to the surroundings, just before it begins to solidify. The temperature then remains constant for 30min , by the time the liquid has all solidfied. Find the ratio of specific heat capacity of liquid to specific latent heat of fusion.

A tapering glass capillary tube A of length 0.1 m has diameters 10^(-3) m and 5 × 10^(4) m at the ends. When it is just immersed in a liquid at 0^(@) C with larger radius in contact with liquid surface, the liquid rises 8 × 10^(-2) m in the tube. In another experiment, in a cylindrical glass capillary tube B, when immersed in the same liquid at 0^(@) C, the liquid rises to 6 × 10^(-2) m height. The rise of liquid in tube B is only 5.5 × 10^(-2) m when the liquid is at 50^(@) C. Find the rate at which the surface tension changes with temperature considering the change to be linear. The density of liquid is (1//14) × 10^(4) kg//m^(3) and the angle of contact is zero. Effect of temperature on the density of liquid and glass is negligible.
