You want to cool 0.2 kg of coffee, initially at temperature Th =
80° C, with ice initially at Tc = 0° C. The specific heat of ice is
about 2108 J/kg K, and its latent heat of melting is about 334, 000
J/kg. You may take the specific heats of liquid water and coffee to
be the same: 4187 J/kg K.
A) Assume the coffee and ice form a closed system. You want them to
equilibrate at 40° C. How much ice should you add?
B) Suppose you add that ice, and find that after 20 minutes it
equilibrates with the coffee at 30° C rather than 40° C. How much
power does the coffee/ice system deliver to its surroundings, on
average
