Answer

$\dot{Q}_{removed}=16.47\ kW$

Work Step by Step

The energy balance for a single ball: $Q=\Delta U=mc(T_2-T_1)$ The mass is given by: $m=\rho \frac{\pi}{6}D^3$ With $\rho=8522\ kg/m³,\ D=0.05\ m$ we get $m=0.558\ kg$ Since $c=0.385\ kJ/kg.K, T_2=74°C, T_1=120°C$ $Q=-9.89\ kJ$ The heat removal rate from the water must be equal to the heat rate wich is added to the water by the balls. With the frequency of $\dot{n}=100 balls/min$: $\dot{Q}_{removed}=-\dot{n}Q$ $\dot{Q}_{removed}=16.47\ kW$
