A radionuclide with disintegration constant `lamda` is produced in a reactor at a constant rate `alpha` nuclei per second. During each decay energy `E_0` is released. 20% of this energy is utilized in increasing the temperature of water. Find the increase in temperature of m mass of water in time t. Specific heat of water is s. Assume that there is no loss of energy through water surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`0.2E_(0)([alphat-(alpha)/(lamda)(1-e^(-lamdat))])/(ms)`
