Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater. what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?

How long will a plane have to fly continuously with 1100 miles per hour in order to cover the same distance as that from earth to the next star, proxima centauri?

Acommon procedure for measuring the velocity of an airstream involves the insertion of an electrically heated wire (called a hot-wire anemometer) into the airflow, with the axis of the wire oriented perpendicular to the flow direction. the electrical energy dissipated in the wire is assumed to be transferred to the air by forced convection. hence, for a prescribed electrical power, the temperature of the wire depends on the convection coefficient, which, in turn, depends on the velocity of the air. consider a wire of length l = 20 mm and diameter d = 0.5 mm, for which a calibration of the form v = 6.25 ă— 10â’5 h2 has been determined. the velocity v and the convection coefficient h have units of m/s and w/m2 â‹… k, respectively. in an application involving air at a temperature of tâž = 25â°c, the surface temperature of the anemometer is maintained at ts = 75â°c with a voltage drop of 5 v and an electric current of 0.1 a. what is the velocity of the air?
