"Watt" is a rate of moving energy. Anynumber of watts can heat your liters,but the less watts you use, the longer the job will take.
It takes approximately 4.184 Joules of heat to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree C. 1 Joule is the energy of 1 Watt for 1 second (or 3,600,000 Joules equals 1 Kilowatt-hour). In more real world numbers: It takes 69.7 watts 1 minute to heat a liter of water 1 degree C; or 146.6 watts in 1 minute to heat a gallon of water 1 degree F. A watt is a watt, weather it comes from resistance, radiant or induction. The only variations will come from the efficientcy of the heat source's design and how it is being used.
Assuming you got that number off an electric kettle it is because that is how much power is needed to heat the water. The number of watts actually measure how much energy the kettle is designed to use. Water is very hard to heat compared to other liquids(or to cool). So it takes a lot of watts to get the kettle to heat the water.
Yes
To heat one liter of water to 85c you will need a heatproof container that will hold one liter. You will also need Bunsen burner to heat the water and a thermometer to see when itâ??s reached 85c.
amount of energy required to heat 1 liter of water completely depends on the desired change in temperature. q = Cg m ∆T ∆T = q/ (Cg x m) = 4180/(4.18 x 1000) = 1 4180 J would heat 1 liter of water by 1 oC
The calorific value of water is 80cal/degree. so it takes 60*80=2400cal of heat.
"Watt" is a rate of moving energy. The more watts you use, the faster the waterwill heat up. The fewer watts you use, the slower it will heat. If you can affordthe time to wait, then any amount of power will do the job, no matter how small.
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.
