The surface temperature of the hotplate is set at 300oC while the top side of the iron is in contact with the still outside air. To reach the desired hotplate temperature, it takes 5 minutes.

A solar collector and storage tank, shown in Figure (a) below, is to be optimized to achieve minimum first cost. During the day the temperature of water in the storage vessel is elevated from 25 °C (the minimum useful temperature) to tmax, as shown in Figure (b). The collector receives 260 W/m² of solar energy, but there is heat loss from the collector to ambient air by convection. The convection coefficient is 2 W/(m²*K), and the average temperature difference during the 10-hour day is (25 + tmax)/2 minus the ambient temperature of 10 °C. The energy above the minimum useful temperature of 25 °C that is to be stored in the vessel during the day is 200,000 kJ. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³, and its specific heat is 4.19 kJ/(kg*K).
