One cubic meter of a certain eutectic alloy is heated in a crucible from room temperature to 100C above its melting point for casting. The alloy's density = 7.5g/cm3, melting point =800C, specific heat =0.33J/gC in the solid state and 0.29J/gC in the liquid state; and heat of fusion =160J/g. How much heat energy must be added to accomplish the heating, assuming no losses
