A 50 liter hot-water tank is used in the laundry service of a hospital clinic. The water in the tank is heated up using an electrical heater that is operated from 200V (mains) power line. The heater draws 8,2 A from the mains. Assume that the thermal resistance of the tank is Rt=0.04 ℃/W. The temperature of the tap water is 10℃. Maximum temperature of the water in the tank in the steady state is …. ?
An electric immersion heater has a power rating of 1800 W. If the heater is placed in a 1.3 kg of water at 30 °C, how
many minutes will it take to bring the water to a boiling temperature? (Assume that there is no heat loss except to the water itself. water=4186 J/kg.°C)
Water flows through a shower head steadily at a rate of 10 L/min. An electric resistance heater placed in the water pipe heats the water from 16 to 43°C. Taking the density of water to be 1 kg/L, determine the electric power input to the heater, in kW. In an effort to conserve energy, it is proposed to pass the drained warm water at a temperature of 39°C through a heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water. If the heat exchanger has an effectiveness of 0.50 (i.e., it recovers only half of the energy that can possibly be transferred from the drained water to incoming cold water), determine the electric power input required in this case. If the price of the electric energy is 11.5 ¢/kWh, determine how much money is saved during a 10-min shower as a result of installing this heat exchanger.

- No heat losses exist in this task. Hampus is concerned about the expensive electricity price. Stingy as he is, he tells his daughter that she is not allowed to bathe in the bathtub. Assume that the water temperature entering the house is 5.0°C. For the bath to be pleasant, the bath water must be 38°C. a) How much energy is needed to heat the water to 38°C in a bathtub of size 0.150 m³? b) How long does it take for the water heater to heat 0.150 m³ of water from 5.0°C to 38°C if it has an output of 1.0kW and an efficiency of n = 0.80 ? c) How much does a bath cost if the electricity price for 1 kWh is $5? Hampu's daughter does not care about the electricity price, so she pours a bath when Hampu is not at home. Unfortunately, the bath water is 45°C, so she adds cold water until the water is 38°C. d) How much 5°C cold water does she need to fill in the bathtub for the mixture to become 38°C?

I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water.
