How much energy is released when the equivalent mass given


A hurricane is simply a steam engine which draws much of its destructive power from the evaporation and condensation of water. The heat of condensation of water is -2257 kJ/kg. It is not uncommon for a hurricane to be 300 miles (482.8 km) across, with cloud heights of about 14 km. Assuming that the entire volume of the resultant cylinder (V = pr2h) was water, how much energy is released when the equivalent mass of water condenses from the vapor state into the liquid state? Assume that the density of sea water was 1027 kg/m3.
