Question: You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 2 5 m long, and 2 5 m

You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming
pool that is 2 m deep, 25 m long, and 25 m wide. Your
client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise
the water temperature from 20C to 30C in 3 h. The heater
must also be able to maintain the pool at 30C at the outdoor
design conditions of 15C,1 atm, 35 percent relative humidity,
40 mph winds, and effective sky temperature of 10C.
Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can
be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace
whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in Btu/h
input) would you recommend that your client buy?
consider convection, radiation and evaporation.
