Difficult$A$ 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 $1000 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$)

Explain why:
$(a)$ Two bodies at different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,if brought in thermal contact,do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature $(T_1 + T_2) / 2$.
$(b)$ The coolant in a chemical or a nuclear plant (i.e.,the liquid used to prevent the different parts of a plant from getting too hot) should have high specific heat.
$(c)$ Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving.
$(d)$ The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.

View SolutionAn electric heater with a constant heat supply rate is used to convert a certain amount of liquid ammonia to saturated vapour at high pressure. The heater takes $14 \text{ minutes}$ to bring the liquid at $15^{\circ}C$ to the boiling point of $50^{\circ}C$ and $92 \text{ minutes}$ to convert the liquid at the boiling point wholly to vapour. If the specific heat capacity of liquid ammonia is $4.9 \text{ kJ/kg K}$, the latent heat of vaporisation of ammonia in $\text{kJ/kg}$ is:
The ratio of the coefficient of volume expansion of a glass container to that of a viscous liquid kept inside the container is $1 : 4$. What fraction of the inner volume of the container should the liquid occupy so that the volume of the remaining vacant space will be same at all temperatures?

View Solution$A$ steel ball of mass $200 \,g$ falls freely from a height of $20 \,m$ and bounces to a height of $10.8 \,m$ from the ground. If the energy lost in this process is absorbed by the ball, the rise in its temperature is ($g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$, specific heat capacity of steel is $460 \,Jkg^{-1} K^{-1}$). (in $^{\circ} C$)
