$A$ continuous flow water heater (geyser) has an electrical power rating $= 2 \, kW$ and efficiency of conversion of electrical power into heat $= 80 \%$. If water is flowing through the device at the rate of $100 \, cc/sec$,and the inlet temperature is $10^{\circ} C$,the outlet temperature will be ....... $^{\circ} C$.

Heat is being supplied at a constant rate to a sphere of ice which is melting at the rate of $0.1 \, g/s$. It melts completely in $100 \, s$. The rate of rise of temperature thereafter will be ........ $^\circ C/s$ (Assume no loss of heat.)

$A$ piece of ice falls from a height $h$ so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absorbed by the ice and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of $h$ is (Latent heat of ice is $L = 3.4 \times 10^{5} \text{ J/kg}$ and $g = 10 \text{ N/kg}$) (in $\text{ km}$)

One $kg$ of water, at $20, ^oC$, is heated in an electric kettle whose heating element has a mean (temperature averaged) resistance of $20, \Omega$. The rms voltage in the mains is $200, V$. Ignoring heat loss from the kettle, the time taken for water to evaporate fully is close to.......... $min$. [Specific heat of water $= 4200, J/kg, ^oC$, Latent heat of water $= 2260, kJ/kg$]

What is the main difference between the $P-T$ phase diagram of water and $CO_2$?

If $60 \%$ of the kinetic energy of water falling from a $210 \ m$ high waterfall is converted into heat,the rise in temperature of the water at the bottom of the fall is nearly (specific heat of water $= 4.2 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):
