Shower Use Profiling (Jonas Ketterle)
Since showering is the primary demand for hot water in the green dorm, understanding what time shower loads are and how much students shower is very important for planning the solar water heating array. At the current standard of 2.5gpm showerheads, the green dorm would use 5800 gallons of water per week for showering; this averages out to 18 gallons per student per day. The average shower length was 9 minutes, ranging from 3-30 minutes, with an average temperature of 107.5 *F. The results of this experiment are being used to model green dorm hot water demand and efforts to reduce shower water consumption. http://www.stanford.edu/group/greendorm/research/water.html
Well when you are in a shower, you gotta think, you are having a constant body temperature of the water! But when you get out of the shower into a warm bathroom, you begin to shiver because even though the bathroom is warm, its a lower temperature than what your shower water was just at, which causes your temperature to somwhat drop...make sense? Water is evaporating from the body. Heat is converted into the energy needed for the process of evaporation.
temperature
temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy.
Average kinetic energy**** of the particles in an object
This measure is the temperature.
The average temperature of a shower is 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
The average shower length was 9 minutes, ranging from 3-30 minutes, with an average temperature of 107.5 degrees F or 41.9444444 degrees Celsius.
Different individuals usually shower at different water temperatures. A steam shower unit does not have one water temperature. The temperature of the water in a steam shower unit varies, as the temperature may be controlled by a number of factors. Some of the steam shower units come equipped with a temperature gauge, so the individual may set the temperature to a specific degree.
A thermostatic shower mixer maintains an exact water temperature for the duration of the shower. It protects an individual from any sudden change in water temperature.
The average price range for a corner shower enclosure is $900 to $2,000. This all depends on if the shower has glass, if the shower is bigger or smaller, and if the shower is rectangular or circular.
A thermostat is the temperature controlling device
To some extent this is a matter of personal preference, but most people like a shower temperature slightly warmer than body temperature, about 105ºF or 40ºC.
You must have taken a hot shower.
if u take too long a hot shower, ur body temperature will adjust to the temperature of the hot water and its hard on your heart
Because it effects the water pressure of the shower. This causes the temperature of the water in the shower to also change.
The average price for a brushed nickel shower is $80; however, the prices may be much higher or lower depending on the place from where the shower was bought.
