In determining the average rate of heating of a tank of 20% sugar syrup, the temperature at the beginning was 20°C and it took 30 min to heat to 80°C. The volume of the sugar syrup was 50 ft3 and its density 66.9 lb/ft3. The specific heat of the sugar syrup is 0.9 Btu lb-1°F-1. (a) Convert the specific heat to kJ kg-1°C-1. (b) Determine the rate of heating, that is the heat energy transferred in unit time, in SI units (kJ s-1)
