Best Answer

Specific Heat of Water = 4.1813 kJ/l/K

If starting temperature is say 10°C -

500 Litres * 4.1813 (100°C - 10°C) = 188158.5 kJ

188158.5kJ / 3kW = 62719.5 Seconds = 17.42 Hours

How long does it take for a new element to heat in a 30-gallon water tank?

This depends how many kilowatts are running through the element, but it can take anything from one to two hours.


How does a tankless water heater work?

A heating element inside of the water pipes heat the water as it passes through. Each time the faucet is turned on, the element is turned on. When the water goes off, so does the element. Thus, water is heated only when needed rather than being held in a storage tank.


How long does it take to heat one liter of water from a heat source?

It depends on the how many degrees you wish to change the water and the wattage of the heater. Obviously a 1500 watt heater will do it faster than a 1000 watt heater. You might want to begin by looking at the heat transfer formula: heat in joules equals mass times change in temperature times specific heat of the material (water in this case).

Can water evaporate in darkness?

Yes. As long as there is sufficient heat water can evaporate in the dark.


How long will it take 1 watt to heat 1 liter of water 1 degree centigrade?

Roughly 4200 seconds, since the specific heat of water is around 4.2J/gK (ie it takes 4.2 joules to raise 1 gram by 1 Kelvin); 1 litre = 1000 grams, 1 Celcius (centigrade) = 1K, 1W = 1J/s.
