Answer to Question #118304 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Kwaku Osafo

Question

A bath contains 100kg of water at 60°C. Hot and cold taps are then turned on to deliver 20kg per minute each at temperatures 70°C and 10°C respectively. How long will it be before the temperature in the bath dropped to 45°C?

Answer 1

$$Mc(T_0-T)=\frac{dm}{dt}c(T_H+T_C)t$$

$$100(100-45)=20(70+10)t$$

$$t=3.4375\ min$$
