A 40-cm-long, 800-W electric resistance heating element with diameter 0.5 cm and surface temperature 120C is immersed in 75 kg

Question:

A 40-cm-long, 800-W electric resistance heating element with diameter 0.5 cm and surface temperature 120°C is immersed in 75 kg of water initially at 20°C. Determine how long it will take for this heater to raise the water temperature to 80°C. Also, determine the convection heat transfer coefficients at the beginning and at the end of the heating process.
