Sensible heat absorbed by 1 lb of water when it is heated from 32 to 212°F may be around ______________ BTU?
Correct answer: B. 180
- A. 970
- B. 180
- C. 3.97
- D. Data insufficient, can't be predicted
Explanation
For water, the specific heat is approximately 1 BTU/(lb·°F). Thus, sensible heat absorbed is 1 × (212 − 32) = 180 BTU.
