A 30-cm-long, 1500-W electric resistance heating element whose diameter is 1.2 cm is immersed in 70 kg of water initially at 20°C. Assuming the water container is wellinsulated, determine how long it will take for this heater to raise the water temperature to 80°C. Also, determine the minimum work input required and exergy destruction for this process, in kJ. Take T0 = 20°C.
