Problem

A pot with a steel bottom

1.2\,\text{cm}

thick rests on a hot stove. The area of the bottom of the pot is

0.150\,\text{m}^2

. The water inside the pot is at

100^\circ\text{C}

, and

0.440\,\text{kg}

evaporates every

5.0\,\text{min}

. Find the temperature of the lower surface of the pot, which is in contact with the stove. Take

L_v=2.256\times10^6\,\text{J/kg}

and

k_{\text{steel}}=50.2\,\text{W/(m\,K)}
