In an industrial process $10\, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20°C$ to $80°C$. To do this steam at $150°C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90°C.$ how many $kg$ of steam is required per hour. $($Specific heat of steam $= 1$ $calorie \,per\, gm°C,$ Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \,cal/gm)$

A liquid at $30^{\circ} C$ is poured very slowly into a Calorimeter that is at temperature of $110^{\circ} C$. The boiling temperature of the liquid is $80^{\circ} C$. It is found that the first $5 gm$ of the liquid completely evaporates. After pouring another $80 gm$ of the liquid the equilibrium temperature is found to be $50^{\circ} C$.
