Question 10: A water heater is supplied with cold water (T-30-F) and delivers hot water at a thermostat setting at T₂=130 F. Assume the heat lost to the surrounding is 400 Btu/hr. What is the heating rate to supply water at a rate of 10 gallons/hour? Assume the heat storage 4H, = 0. [1 gallon of water = 8.3 lb-m, 1 kWh =3413 Btu, Specific heat capacity of water C₂ = 1 Bulb-F]
