A 2.5 kg cast iron pot contains 1.8 L of water at 20oC. How many minutes will it take to boil half away on a 5 kW burner with 40% heat loss. Specific heat of cast iron is 0.46 kJ/kg-K.

Answer»

using formula p x t = ms\(\Delta\)t

5 x 103 x t = 2.5 x 0.46 x [373 - 293]

5 x 103 x t = 92

t  = \(\frac{92}{5\,\times\,10^3}\)

t = 18.4 x 10-3 sec

t = 0.3066 x 10-3 m
