A steam engine intakes \(50\, g\) of steam at \(100^{\circ} C\) per minute and cools it down to \(20^{\circ} C\). If latent heat of vaporization of steam is \(540 \,cal g ^{-1}\), then the heat rejected by the steam engine per minute is .........\(\times 10^{3}\)\(cal.\)

  1. A \(91\)
  2. B \(71\)
  3. C \(31\)
  4. D \(39\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(31\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heat rejected \(= mL _{ f }+ mS \Delta T\) \(=(50 \times 540)+50(1)(100-20)\) \(=31000 Cal\) \(=31 \times 10^{3} Cal\)
