Two liquids flow through a heat exchanger and exchange heat energy.
The first liquid has a mass flow rate \(\left(\dfrac{dm}{dt}\right)=r_1,\) and its temperature rises by \(\Delta\theta_1.\) For the second liquid, the flow rate \(\left(\dfrac{dm}{dt}\right)=r_2,\) and the temperature fall is \(\Delta\theta_2.\) The ratio of their specific heat capacities is:
1. \(\dfrac{\Delta\theta_1}{\Delta\theta_2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{r_2\Delta\theta_2}{r_1\Delta\theta_1}\) 4. \(\dfrac{r_2\Delta\theta_1}{r_1\Delta\theta_2}\)

A calorimeter contains \(270\) g of ice at \(0^\circ\)C (specific latent heat \(80\) cal/g). Steam (specific latent heat \(540\) cal/g) at \(100^\circ\)C is continuously passed through it, and the excess steam is allowed to escape. Assume negligible loss of heat to the surroundings, except due to excess steam being allowed to escape. Also, ignore the heat capacity of the calorimeter. The final mass of water in the calorimeter is:
1. \(40\) g
2. \(90\) g
3. \(310\) g
4. \(360\) g

The specific heat capacity of a solid \(A\) is identical to that of another solid \(B\) at \(0^\circ\text C.\) The specific heat capacity of the solid \(A\) increases linearly by \(10\%\) from \(0^\circ\text C\) to \(100^\circ\text C;\) while that of solid \(B\) remains constant. If \(Q_A\) amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of solid \(A\) from \(0^\circ\text C\) to \(100^\circ\text C\) and \(Q_B\) be the heat required to raise the same mass of solid \(B\) from \(0^\circ\text C\) to \(100^\circ\text C,\) then,
1. \(Q_A=1.1Q_B\)
2. \(Q_A>1.1Q_B\)
3. \(Q_A<1.1Q_B~\text{but}~Q_A>Q_B\)
