Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ water cooler of storage capacity $120$ litres can cool water at a constant rate of $P$ watts. In a closed circulation system (as shown schematically in the figure),the water from the cooler is used to cool an external device that generates constantly $3 \text{ kW}$ of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device cannot exceed $30^{\circ}\text{C}$ and the entire stored $120$ litres of water is initially cooled to $10^{\circ}\text{C}$. The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of $P$ (in watts) for which the device can be operated for $3$ hours is (Specific heat of water is $4.2 \text{ kJ kg}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}$ and the density of water is $1000 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$)

$A$ continuous flow water heater (geyser) has an electrical power rating $= 2 \, kW$ and efficiency of conversion of electrical power into heat $= 80 \%$. If water is flowing through the device at the rate of $100 \, cc/sec$,and the inlet temperature is $10^{\circ} C$,the outlet temperature will be ....... $^{\circ} C$.
