plate that reaches 85°C when there is no cup placed on it. What is the electrical
power required for this?
Assume the device is 100% efficient at converting electrical power to heat in the plate

Therefore, nitrogen is commonly used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphere will remain constant at -196°C until the liquid nitrogen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank will result in the evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heat of vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at 1 atm.
