A drilling machine of 5 kW is used to drill a hole in the block of copper of mass 4 kg . Calculate the riΕe in temperature of the block in 5 minutes.if 75 % 75 % of the energy is used in heating the block. Given specific heat of copper = 0.385 J g β 1 β C β I = 0.385 π½ π β 1 β πΆ β πΌ.
To calculate the rise in temperature of the block, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total energy supplied
The power of the drilling machine is 5 kW (or
5000βJ/s5000 , text{J/s}) and it runs for 5 minutes (or
300βs300 , text{s}). The total energy supplied is:
EnergyΒ supplied=PowerΓTime
text{Energy supplied} = text{Power} times text{Time}
EnergyΒ supplied=5000βJ/sΓ300βs=1,500,000βJ
text{Energy supplied} = 5000 , text{J/s} times 300 , text{s} = 1,500,000 , text{J}
Step 2: Calculate the energy used to heat the block
Only 75% of the energy is used to heat the block. So, the energy used for heating is:
EnergyΒ forΒ heating=0.75Γ1,500,000=1,125,000βJtext{Energy for heating} = 0.75 times 1,500,000 = 1,125,000 , text{J}
Step 3: Use the formula for heat transfer to calculate the temperature rise
The formula for heat transfer is:
Q=mβ cβ ΞTQ = m cdot c cdot Delta T
Where:
-
QQ
= Heat energy ( 1,125,000βJ1,125,000 , text{J}
)
-
mm
= Mass of the block ( 4βkg=4000βg4 , text{kg} = 4000 , text{g}
)
-
cc
= Specific heat capacity of copper ( 0.385βJ/g/Β°C0.385 , text{J/g/Β°C}
)
-
ΞTDelta T
= Temperature rise ( ??
)
Rearranging the formula to solve for
ΞTDelta T:
ΞT=Qmβ cDelta T = frac{Q}{m cdot c}
Substitute the values:
ΞT=1,125,0004000β 0.385Delta T = frac{1,125,000}{4000 cdot 0.385}
ΞT=1,125,0001540β730.52βΒ°CDelta T = frac{1,125,000}{1540} approx 730.52 , text{Β°C}
The rise in temperature of the copper block is approximately 730.52Β°C.
