Question

Transcribed Image Text:A flow calorimeter is a device used to measure the specific heat of a liquid. Energy is added as heat at a known rate to a stream of the
liquid as it passes through the calorimeter at a known rate. Measurement of the resulting temperature difference between the inflow
and the outflow points of the liquid stream enables us to compute the specific heat of the liquid. Suppose a liquid of density 0.86 g/cm³
flows through a calorimeter at the rate of 8.1 cm³/s. When energy is added at the rate of 200 W by means of an electric heating coil, a
temperature difference of 18°C is established in steady-state conditions between the inflow and the outflow points. What is the
specific heat of the liquid?

Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its sur- roundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling.

The differential equation corresponding to this situation is given by y' = k(M – y) where k is a positive constant. The solution to this equation is given by y = M + (yo – M)e-kt , where yo is the initial temperature of the object.
