Question:

If we have 1 ton of cement at 40 degree celcius and we want to take it at 20 degree celcius by using ice,?

then how much ice will be requiredIf Specific heat of cement is 0.84 Kj/Kg KLatent heat of melting of ice is 334 KJ/Kg K

Answer:

Not sure if this is a practical or theoretical question.If practical, the amount of ice must be calculated in advance, and the cement mix adjusted . If the mix is made regular, the addition of ice to cool it will make the final mix incorrect.
Heat lost by cement=heat gained by melting ice Heat= mass X specific heat X change in temp Heat = mass X latent heat of fusion (melting) If the ice is at 0oC, then the 2 equations can be set equal to each other and the mass of ice is the unknown Since specific heat is in Kj/Kg/K, you need to change mass of 1 ton to Kg, and temperatures to K
