Most people have a hot water heater in there home that
has a large tank of water at a hot temperature ,some have a propane
tank with a less water heater that heats water quickly and a main
as it flows through the pipes.
Why may tankless water heater's cost less to operate ? Explain

In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn’t have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm-diameter plastic (smooth) pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2.5 m/s, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump. Take...
Exercise 10 Consider a 2-m-high electric hot water heater that has a diameter of 40 cm and maintains the hot water at 55°C. The tank is located in a small room whose average temperature is 27°C, and the heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the heater are 50 and 12 W/m2.°C, respectively. The tank is placed in another 46-cm-diameter sheet metal tank of negligible thickness, and the space between the two tanks is filled with foam...
Hot Water Heater Due in 7 hours, 27 minutes A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during vacation. If the water heater has a capacity of 51.8 gallons and a 4610 W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 22.0°C to 64.9°C? Assume that the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the...
Consider a 2-m-high electric hot-water heater that has a diameter of 40 cm and maintains the hot water at 60 C. The tank is located in a small room at 20°C whose walls and ceiling are at about the same temperature. The tank is placed in a 44-cm-diameter sheet metal shell of negligible thickness, and the space between the tank and the shell is filled with foam insulation. The average temperature and emissivity of the outer surface of the shell...

Description: Many people have said that cold water boils faster than hot water. This is not true. In fact, it’s been said so many times that most people believe it to be a fact. Prompt: Postulate a reason for why this may have been thought to be true. Is there any scientific evidence backing this claim at all? Please explain your reasoning.
h A hot water heating system pumps water through a fired heater (furnace) then to a convector to transfer the heat to the room air. (In a real system there would be many convectors in parallel / series, but we have simplified the system to make the details easier to manage.) The piping is 2 inch schedule 40 commercial steel (roughness 0.05 mm) with a total length of 100 m The furnace and the convector can be represented by minor...
A cylindrical hot water tank has thermal insulation between an inner and an outer wall of thin metal sheets, both on the sidewalls and the end walls. The inner diameter and height is 0.95 m and 2.6 m respectively. The insulation thickness is 64 mm and its thermal conductivity is λ = 0.051 [W/mK]. The inner wall consists of 3.0 mm stainless steel with λ = 25 [W/mK], and the outer wall consists of 1.3 mm steel sheet with λ...
