    Electric Grill Design

    Thanks MJ, Answering your questions: No nothing can be inside the tank and neither in the sides of it, neglect all heat loss from the walls. T1 = 15C T2 = 100C I just need an idea on the KW/m2 for the grill underneath the tank. My thought is the heat from convection plus radiation must...

    Cooling a cup of coffee

    Hi, Id like to answer how much time does it take to the coffee to cool to the surrounding air? I know the surface will cool from convection, but for example, what happens in the middle of the cup? If someone could advice in how to make a mathematical model for this Id appreciate it. Thanks

    Water heater design

    Thanks, thats what I thought but it is a bit counter intuitive and I needed to check it, the key part is the cold startup until thermal equilibrium is reached but delta T has to be the same.

    Water heater design

    Hi there, Im working in a water heater design and have a question that i think has to do with heat transfer theory. I have a 0.5 gal tank and a 10 gal tank both with same volumetric flow lets say 2 gpm, both with 12 kw of power( 2 heating elements of 6 kw each). How does the water tank size will...
