(a) Specific latent heat of vapourisation : Amount of heat energy needed
when 1 kg substance of liquid state changes to gaseous state at
constant temperature. (1)

• Under rotating fan, rate of evaporation increases. (1)

• Evaporation is endothermic process where heat energy is absorbed(1)
• Therefore, body’s temperature drops and fell cool (2)

• Specific latent heat of vapourasation is absorbed, heat loss (1)
• Average kinetic energy of the water’s molecules decreases (1)
• Temperature of an object depends on average kinetic energy (1)

(d)
• Number of fin blade : Must have enough number of fin blade, increases
the rate of heat dissipation (1/1)
• Size of fan : Big size fan, produces stronger wind, increases rate of heat
dissipation (1/1)
• Boiling point : cooling liquid has high boiling point, it will not become hot
quickly (1/1)

• Sepcific heat capacity : Cooling liquid has smaller value of specific heat
capacity, conduct heat faster (1/1)
• Most suitable car radiator is R (1) because it has enough number of fin
blade, big size fan, high boiling point and moderate value of specific heat
capacity. (1)
