An earthen pitcher used in summer cools water in it essentially by evaporation of water from its porous surface. If a pitcher carries 4 kg of water and the rate of evaporation is 20 g per hour, temperature of water in it decreases by Δ T in two hours. The value of Δ T is close to (ratio of latent heat of evaporation to specific heat of water is 540 °C )
