1. For water, the latent heat of
freezing is 334 kJ/kg and the
specific heat capacity averages
4.19 kJ/(kg K). What is The
quantity of heat to be
removed from 1 kg of water at
30°C in order to turn it into ice
at 0°C.
2. A flow rate of 0.06 kg/s of water
enters a boiler at 90°C, at which
temperature the enthalpy is 376.9
kJ/kg. The water leaves as steam
at 100°C. What is the rate of heat
added by the boiler?
3. What is the mass of air
contained in a room of dimensions
4 by 6 by 3 m if the specific
volume of the air is /kg?
4. What is the rate of heat input to
a water heater if 0.4 kg/s of water
enters at 82°C and leaves at 93°C?
5. If 9 kg/s of liquid water at
flows into a boiler, is heated,
boiled, and superheated to a
temperature of and the entire
process takes place at standard
atmospheric pressure, what is the
rate of heat transfer to the water?

• 200 kg of ice at – 10oC is placed
in a bunker to cool some
vegetables. 24 hours later the ice
has melted into water at 50C.
What is the average rate of
cooling in kJ/hr and TR provided
by the ice? Assume
