Problem 69
\(\bullet\) On-demand water heaters. 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 2.5 gal \(/ \min (9.46 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{min}\) ) with the tap water being heated from \(50^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\left(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) to \(120^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\left(49^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) by the on-demand heater.

(b) Assume that all the heat energy in part (a) is transferred to the 3200 \(\mathrm{m}^{3}\) of air in the room. The air has a specific heat capacity of 1020 \(\mathrm{J} /(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})\) and a density of 1.20 \(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} .\) If none of the heat escapes and the air- conditioning system is off, how much will the temperature of the air in the room rise during the 50 min lecture? (c) If the class is taking an exam, the heat output per student rises to 280 \(\mathrm{W}\) . What is the temperature rise during 50 min in this case?
