m_Cu * sh_CuA system consists of a copper tank whose mass is 13 kilogram , 4 kilogram of liquid water, and an electrical resistor of negligible mass. The system is insulated on its outer surface. Initially, the temperature of the copper is 27 degC and the temperature of the water is 50 degC . The electrical resistor transfers 100 kilojoule to the system. Eventually the system comes to equilibrium. Determine the final equilibrium temperature, in ∘C.

Answer:

T₂ = 49.3°C

Explanation:

Applying law of conservation of energy to the system we get the following equation:

Energy Supplied by Resistor = Energy Absorbed by Tank + Energy Absorbed by Water

E = mC(T₂ - T₁) + m'C'(T'₂ - T'₁)

where,

E = Energy Supplied by Resistor = 100 KJ = 100000 J

m = mass of copper tank = 13 kg

C = Specific Heat of Copper = 385 J/kg.°C

T₂ = Final Temperature of Copper Tank

T₁ = Initial Temperature of Copper Tank = 27°C

T'₂ = Final Temperature of Water

T'₁ = Initial Temperature of Water = 50°C

m' = Mass of Water = 4 kg

C' = Specific Heat of Water = 4179.6 K/kg.°C

Since, the system will come to equilibrium finally. Therefor: T'₂ = T₂

Therefore,

(100000 J) = (13 kg)(385 J/kg.°C)(T₂ - 27°C) + (4 kg)(4179.6 J/kg.°C)(T₂ - 50°C)

100000 J = (5005 J/°C)T₂ - 135135 J + (16718.4 J/°C)T₂ - 835920 J

100000 J + 135135 J + 835920 J = (21723.4 J/°C)T₂

(1071055 J)/(21723.4 J/°C) = T₂

T₂ = 49.3°C
