Question

A flow calorimeter is a device used to measure the specific heat of a liquid. Energy is added as heat at a known rate to a stream of the liquid as it passes through the calorimeter at a known rate. Measurement of the resulting temperature difference between the inflow and the outflow points of the liquid stream enables us to compute the specific heat of the liquid. Suppose a liquid of density 0.85 g/cm30.85 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3 flows through a calorimeter at the rate of 8.0 cm3/s8.0 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{s}. When energy is added at the rate of 250 W250 \mathrm{~W} by means of an electric heating coil, a temperature difference of 15C15 \mathrm{C}^{\circ} is established in steady-state conditions between the inflow and the outflow points. What is the specific heat of the liquid?
