Solution
Verified by Toppr

In an earthen port, water gets evaporated quickly through the pores. Cooling is caused by evaporation. Some heat energy is utilised during the process of evaporation. Since this energy is taken from water itself, it leads to lowering of temperature in the remaining amount of water.

An earthen pitcher loses 1 gm of water per minute due to evaporation. If the water equivalent of pitcher is 0.5 kg and pitcher contains 9.5 kg of water. Calculate the time required for the water in pitcher to cool to 28C from original temperature of 30C. Neglect radiation effects. Latent heat of vaporization in this range of temperature is 580 Cal/gm and specific heat of water is 1 Cal/gmC.
