Solution

Given: The base area of brass boiler is 0 .15 m 2 , its thickness is 1.0cm and the rate at which it boils water is 6.0 kgmin 1 .

The amount of heat flowing into water is given as,

θ= KA( T 1 T 2 )t l (1)

Where, base area of the boiler is A, thickness of the boiler is l, time taken to boil unit mass of water is t, temperature of flame is T 1 and temperature of boiling water is T 2 .

Heat required for boiling water is given as,

θ=mL(2)

Where, m is the mass of water and L is the heat of vaporization of water.

From equations (1) and (2), we get

mL= KA( T 1 T 2 )t l T 1 T 2 = mLl kAt

By substituting the given values in the above expression, we get

T 1 T 2 = 6×2256× 10 3 ×0.01 109×0.15×60 T 1 =138+100 =238°C

Thus, the temperature of the part of the flame in contact with the boiler is 238°C.
