if the plant produces 105 kw of power, what minimum mass of water must be processed, to suck out the heat, every second? assume the specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/k.



Answer :

The specific heat of water is 13271.75 kg/sec.


What is specific heat?

the amount of heat needed to raise a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius in one gramme, also known as specific heat. Typically, calories as well as joules per gramme per degree Celsius are used as the units of specific heat. For instance, water has a specific heat of 1 calorie (or 4.186 joules) per gramme per degree Celsius. The concept of specific heat was developed by Scottish scientist Joseph Black in the 18th century as a result of his observation that equal masses of various substances required quantities of heat to raise people through the same temperature range. The French theoretical physicist Pierre-Louis Dulong as well as Alexis-Thérèse Petit showed in the early 19th century that measurements of a substance's specific heat allow one to calculate their atomic mass.


Specific heat
is the quantity of heat essential to raise the temperature of one gram of any substance by 1 degree Celsius. Specific Heat formula is articulated as. C = Δ Q m Δ T

[tex]p=m.cp(t2-T1)\\m=p/cp(t2-t1)\\=1*10^9/4.186*18\\=0.01371*10^9 gram\\\\=13271.75 kg/sec.[/tex]
