Water is to be heated from 15°C to 65°C as it flows through a 3-cm-internal-diameter 5-m-long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater that provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so in steady operation, all the heat generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at a rate of 10 L/min, determine the power rating of the resistance heater. Also estimate the inner surface temperature of the tube at the exit

The hot water needs of a household are to be met by heating water at 15°C to 95°C by a parabolic solar collector at a rate of 1.8 kg/s. Water flows through a 4-cm-diameter thin aluminum tube whose outer surface is blackanodized in order to maximize its solar absorption ability. The centerline of the tube coincides with the focal line of the collector, and a glass sleeve is placed outside the tube to minimize the heat losses. If solar energy is transferred to water at a net rate of 200 W per meter length of the tube, determine the required length of the parabolic collector to meet the hot water requirements of this house. Also, determine the surface temperature of the tube at the exit.

An aluminium pan whose thermal conductivity is 237 W/m/°C has a flat bottom whose diameter is 20 cm and thickness 0.4 cm.
