My (small) water heater holds 35 lb of water at 55 F. How many BTU would be needed to raise it to a toasty 135 F? Ignore any heat lost to the heater body
Homework Answers
Heat required to raise the temperature is given by,
Q = m*cpdT
where m is the mass of water (lb)
cp is its specific heat (=1.001 BTU/lb-F)
dT is the change in temperature
Q = 35*1.001*(135-55)
Q = 2802.8 BTU

1. An industrial plant needs 20,000 lbm of saturated steam at 280°F per hour for heating purposes and ten MW of electrical power. A small turbine system is to be designed to handle both of these needs. Steam is supplied to a turbine at 400 psia pressure from a boiler and expanded until 280°F saturated steam is obtained whereupon the steam needed for heating is extracted. The rest of the steam is expanded in a second turbine to a condenser...
