**Problem 6.76: Heat Transfer in a Hot Tub**
A successful California engineer has installed a circular hot tub in his backyard and finds that, for the typical operating conditions shown in the sketch, water must be added at a rate of 0.001 kg/s to maintain a fixed water level in the tub.
- **Diagram Description:**
- The diagram illustrates a cross-section of a circular hot tub.
- The water inside the tub is maintained at a temperature \( T = 310 \, \text{K} \).
- Heat loss occurs primarily to the surrounding air.
- The air temperature is \( T_{\infty} = 290 \, \text{K} \) with a convection heat transfer coefficient \( \phi = 0.30 \).
- **System Conditions:**
- If the tub is well insulated on its sides and bottom and if the temperature of the makeup water is equal to that of the tub water.
**Question:**
At what rate must electrical heaters supply energy to maintain the tub water at 310 K?
Understanding the rate of energy supply required involves applying principles of heat transfer, taking into account the insulation level, surrounding air temperature, and water makeup rate.

- PROBLEM 2 Consider a firefighter who is standing on a ladder and spraying water with a hose into Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau's (Figure 3a) third-story apartment. A diagram of the hose/nozzle used by the firefighter is shown in Figure 3b. Assume the nozzle has little effect on the flow in the hose and water in the hose/nozzle is incompressible. The temperature of the water in the hose is 15 °C.
