A large number of water droplets each of radius ' $t$ ' combine to form a large drop of Radius ' $R$ '. If the surface tension of water is ' $T$ ' \& mechanical equivalent of heat is ' $\mathrm{J}$ ' then the rise in temperature due to this is
  1. $\frac{2 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{rJ}}$
  2. $\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{RJ}}$
  3. $\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{~J}}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}\right)$
  4. $\frac{2 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{~J}}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}\right)$

Solution

Radius of each droplet $=\mathrm{r}$ Radius of the drop $=\mathrm{R}$ As volume remains constant, $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^3 \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{R}^3}{\mathrm{r}^3} \end{aligned}$ Decrease in surface area $=4 \pi r^2 n-4 \pi R^2 n$ $\begin{aligned} \Delta \mathrm{A} & =4 \pi\left[\mathrm{nr}^2-\mathrm{R}^2\right] \\ & =4 \pi\left[\frac{\mathrm{R}^3}{\mathrm{r}^3} \mathrm{r}^2-\mathrm{R}^2\right] \\ & =4 \pi \mathrm{R}^3\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}\right] \end{aligned}$ Enery released $\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{T} \times \Delta \mathrm{T}$ $\begin{aligned} & \text { Heat produced } \mathrm{Q}=\frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{J}} \\ & \text { H } \end{aligned}$ Heat produced $\mathrm{Q}=\frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{J}}$ $\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s} \cdot \Delta \theta$ Put (i) and (iii) into (ii) $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{S} \Delta \theta=\frac{4 \pi \mathrm{R}^3 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{~J}}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}\right] \\ & \frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R} \rho_{\text {water }} \mathrm{S}_{\text {water }} \Delta \theta=\frac{4 \pi \mathrm{R}^3 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{~J}}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}\right] \\ & \Delta \mathrm{Q}=\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{~J}}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}\right] \end{aligned}$ ~
