Step 1
We know the volume of the pool is 1080 m³. We can assume the density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³. $$mass = density \times volume$$ $$mass = 1000 \, kg/m^3 \times 1080 \, m^3 = 1080000 \, kg$$ Show more…

You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2m deep, 25m long, and 25m wide. Your client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20°C to 30°C in 3 hours. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960 W/m^2, and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30°C at those conditions. Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in kW input) would you recommend to your client?

You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is $2 \mathrm{~m}$ deep, $25 \mathrm{~m}$ long, and $25 \mathrm{~m}$ wide. Your client wants the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in $3 \mathrm{~h}$. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be $960 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2},$ and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at those conditions. Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in $\mathrm{kW}$ input) would you recommend to your client?

A chemical is to be heated from 25°C to 57°C, using an electric heater that forms the whole circular base of its tank. The heater injects heat energy into the chemical in the tank at a rate of 10 kW/m of the area of the base of the tank. The tank has a diameter of 1.5, and the specific heat value of the chemical is 3615 J/kg/K. The heater is 100% efficient and there is no loss of energy from the tank. The mass of the chemical is 2000 kg. How long will it take to heat the chemical in the tank from 25°C to 57°C?
