You
are warming up 2 kg of soup in a pot on a stove. The soup (C=4
kj/kg/K) starts at 4ºC. You have it on a heating element that is
drawing 1.2 kW of power. 15% of the heat from the element is going
directly to the air. Of the heat going into the pot, 20% is lost by
heat transfer to the room. You are stirring vigorously and add 25
KJ of energy to the pot. How long will it take for your soup to
reach 70ºC? Ignore the energy going into the pot.
