Problem:

There is a device which work as heat pump. This device is able to heat the air at 1 degree per second. The velocity of hot air is 0.5 m/sec.
The professor is placing an aluminum cup full of water. The problem is , how long it's going to take the hot air from heating pump to rise the water T from 25 deg to 34 deg.
Solution:

Assumptions:

1) The air temperature rises by 1C/sec from T0 = 80C till Tf = 200C, then it remains constant.

Therefore, if denote Ta = air temperature, then we will have:
(1)
2) The heat absorbed by the aluminum cup is negligible.

Thus, the heat from the hot air is used for raising the internal energy of the water:
(2)
where
mass of water in the cup [kg]
specific heat of liquid water,
Q = heat exchanged between hot air and water [J]

3) The heat transfer from the inner wall of the cup to the water is by natural convection and water temperature rises uniformly all over:
(Newton's law) (3)
where
coefficient of heat transfer by natural convection, w  100 W/m2.K
S = area of the cup washed by the hot air [m2]
temperature of inner side of cup [C]
temperature of water [C]

4) The ...
