3. A flat-bottom kettle placed on a stove is being used
to boil water and the thermal conductivity of the
material is 0.5 cal s 'cm°C. If the amount of
steam being produced in the kettle is at the rate
10g min, calculate the difference of temperature
between the inner and outer surfaces of the bottom.
