Water is to be boiled at sea level (1 atm pressure) in a 30-cm-diameter stainless steel pan placed on top of a 18-kW electric burner. If 60 percent of the heat generated by the burner is transferred to the water during boiling, determine the rate of evaporation of water. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)

Explanation:

18 kW = 18000 J /s

60% of 18kW = 10800 J/s

Latent heat of evaporation of water

= 2260 x 10³ J / kg

kg of water being evaporated per second

= 10800 / 2260 x 10³ kg /s

= 4.7787 x 10⁻³ kg / s

= 4.78 gm / s .

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
