A pitcher with 1-mm thick porous walls contain 10kg of water. ,Water comes to its outer surface and evaporates at the rate of 0.1gs^(-1) . The surface area of the pitcher (one side) =200cm^(2) . The room temperature =42^(@)C , latent heat of vaporization =2.27xx10^(6)Jkg^(-1) , and the thermal conductivity of the porous walls =0.80js^(-1)m^(-1) ^(@)C^(-1) . Calculate the temperature of water in the pitcher when it attains a constant value.

You have heard about several insectivorous plants that feed on insects. Nepenthes or the pitcher plant is one such example, which usually gorws in shallow water or in marsh lands.
