 Problem 3 An Olympic swimming pool is initially at 20 C.

Problem 3 An Olympic swimming pool is initially at 20 C. It is heated by flowing pool water over a hot surface with an area of 100 m2. The hot surface is heated by hot water on the other side that has a constant temperature of 50 C. The overall heat transfer coefficient kh of the hot surface is 2000 W/(mK). The pool itself has a water volume of 3000 m. The water has a density of 1000 kg/m and a heat capacity of 4180 J/kg K. Question: How long does it take to heat the pool from 20 C to 25 C
