A tank containing 20 kg of water at 20°C is fitted with a stirrer that delivers work to the water at the rate of 0.25 kW. How long does it take for the temperature of the water to rise to 30°C if no heat is lost from the water? For water, 
What will be an ideal response?
The total heat capacity of the water is 20 kg? 4.18 kJ/(kg? °C) = 83.6 kJ/°C = 83600 J/°C. So, to increase the temperature by 10°C requires an energy input of 836 kJ. If we are doing work on the water at a rate of 0.25 kW = 0.25 kJ/s, then we will have to do so for 836/0.25 = 3344 s = 55.7 minutes = 0.929 hr.
