Question
A heater is placed in 5 liters of ethanol, which has a specific heat capacity of 2.44 joules per gram kelvin and a specific gravity of 0.7893.
Assume the initial temperature of the ethanol is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the heater is powered by a voltage of 240 volts at a current of 500 milliamperes, and the transfer of energy to the ethanol as heat has an efficiency of 45%.
How long must the heater operate to raise the temperature of the ethanol to 95 degrees Fahrenheit? Express your answer in units of minutes.
