An autoclave contains 1000 cans of pea soup it is heated to


An autoclave contains 1000 cans of pea soup. It is heated to an overall temperature of 100°C. If the cans are to be cooled to 40°C before leaving the autoclave, how much cooling water is required if it enters at 15°C and leaves at 35°C? The specific heats of the pea soup and the can metal are respectively 4.1 kJ kg-1 °C-1 and 0.50 kJ kg-1°C-1. The weight of each can is 60 g and it contains 0.45 kg of pea soup. Assume that the heat content of the autoclave walls above 40°C is 1.6 x 104 kJ and that there is no heat loss through the walls.
