You get ready to put some delicious queso into your face-o.  You have 1.5L of grade-A prime cheez whiz (sg = 1.08) with a heat capacity of 3 KJ/Kg/K.  You are using a microwave oven with electrical power consumption of 1100W.  It has typical efficiency of a microwave oven of 64%.  You start from room temperature of 20degC and heat it to 150F, just below the melting point.   How long should you microwave it ignoring any other losses? What would change if you added green chiles

You get ready to put some delicious queso into your face-o.  You have 1.5L of grade-A prime cheez whiz (sg = 1.08) with a heat capacity of 3 KJ/Kg/K.  You are using a microwave oven with electrical power consumption of 1100W.  It has typical efficiency of a microwave oven of 64%.  You start from room temperature of 20degC and heat it to 150F, just below the melting point.   How long should you microwave it ignoring any other losses? What would change if you added green chiles?

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here, we have given a problem related to microwave oven.

We have to calculate total time taken by the microwave oven. The heat capacity of cheese is defined and the specific gravity is also defined.

So, we will first calculate the mass of cheese.

Then, we will convert the given values of starting and the final temperature into Kelvin to calculate the time taken by the microwave oven to cook the cheese. 

 

So, we will follow the below given procedure for required results.
