How much heat will be released to heat up to 100 degrees Celsius an aluminum tank with a capacity of 10 liters
How much heat will be released to heat up to 100 degrees Celsius an aluminum tank with a capacity of 10 liters, filled with water taken at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
Vv = 10 l = 10 * 10 ^ -3 m ^ 3.
ρw = 1000 kg / m ^ 3.
t1 = 20 ° C.
t2 = 100 ° C.
mb = 1 kg.
Cw = 4200 J / kg * ° C.
Ca = 920 J / kg * ° C.
Q -?
The amount of heat will be the sum: Q = Q1 + Q2, where Q1 is the amount of heat required to heat the water, Q2 is the amount of heat required to heat the tank.
Q1 = Sv * mv * (t2 – t1).
We express the mass of water mw by the formula: mw = Vw * ρw.
Q1 = Sv * Vw * ρw * (t2 – t1).
Q2 = Ca * mb * (t2 – t1).
Q = Sv * Vw * ρw * (t2 – t1) + Ca * mb * (t2 – t1) = (Sv * Vw * ρw * + Ca * mb) * (t2 – t1).
= (4200 J / kg * ° C * 10 * 10 ^ -3 m ^ 3 * 1000 kg / m ^ 3 + 920 J / kg * ° C * 1 kg) (100 ° C – 20 ° C) = 3433600 J …
Answer: you need Q = 3433600 J of thermal energy.
