20 kg of steam at 1000C is passed into a mixture of 30 kg of ice and 100 kg of
water at 00C . Find the resulting temperature if the water equivalent of the
vessel is 10 kg.
At first the ice starts to melt. It melts to water at 0 degree celsius. after that the water equivalent (water, melt ice and vesel), which is the cold body starts absorbing heat from the hot body. The steam at 100 degree celsius releases heat and becomes water at 100 degree and again releases heat , which is the hot body.
the relation connecting both here is,
heat lost by hot body = heat absorbed by cold body
so the final temperature of the mixture is 52.26 degree celsius.
