What is the energy transformation in a shower?
Potential to kinetic. Before you turn the shower on, the water is above the ground, waiting in the pipes. Once you open the valve it falls, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy.

If you have an old complex built pre 80's, you may not have pressure balance shower valves. Replace existing valve with a new pressure balance valve. The problem is most notable in second and above floors, but can occur at the ground level as well. Setting at the water heater has been chaged. This most probably due to the thermostat being faulty. It can no longer regulate the tempreature which causes the heat of the water to spike.

Why does the storage tank run out of hot water when showering and what can you do to sort out this problem?
Many variables need to be supplied here. Size of water heater, Gallons per minute of shower head and volume of water being used. If the water heater is small, you only have 30 gallons of hot water available. If you have a 6 GPM shower head, that is only enough for about a 5 minute shower. If you have had the water heater checked out to make sure the heating element (if electric) isn't corroded or caked with calcium or making a lot of noise (boiling sounds) if it is gas, you can increase the temperature setting on the water heater. This will let you use more cold water and increase your shower duration. Changing your shower head to a low flow type will also increase you soak time. Another thing to consider is the distance of the shower from the water heater. If the pipes have to travel some distance in an uninsulated space, this will lower water temperature as it travels through the pipes. Hope this helped.
