Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ t=\frac{Ql}{KA({\theta _{1}}-{\theta _{2}})}=\frac{mLl}{KA({\theta _{1}}-{\theta _{2}})}=\frac{V\rho Ll}{KA({\theta _{1}}-{\theta _{2}})} $
$ =\frac{5\times A\times 0.92\times 80\times \frac{5+10}{2}}{0.004\times A\times 10\times 3600}=19.1,hours $ .
