Continuous Process of Isochoric Heating: Maximum Heat Supply

Continuous Process of Isochoric Heating: Maximum Heat Supply
Isochoric heating- It is the process of heating a system while keeping its volume constant.
This is the project to design a water heating service system which we use domestically.
Water heater-A household appliance consisting of a gas or electric heating unit under a tank in which water
is heated and stored.
The design of a hot water service system may follow the procedure:
1-Determine the demand of hot water from the consumers - quantity and temperature.
2-Select the type, capacity and heating surface of the calorifier - or heat exchanger.
In our homes commonly we use the water heater which can be simply defined as below÷
●
In this we supply cold water to the heater and it is heated in storage then water is heated inside
it then hot water gets out.
For eg if we have a gas fueled storage water heater,it heats water by means of a burner
beneath the tank.
●
So in this water heater cold water comes in, it gets heated and when the pressure gets over
the limit hot water comes out.
H = cp V (q2 - q1) / t
where
H = heat supply (kW)
V = accumulator volume stored
cp = specific heat water (4.19 kJ/kgoC)
q1 = temperature of the cold feed water
q2 = temperature of the hot water
t = available time for the accumulated volume to be heated
To minimize the energy consumption we should lower the water heater temperature.
Conclusion
We know water heater is a basic necessity in our homes but we need to focus on to make it
more energy efficient.Making your home energy efficient includes reducing electricity, water,
and fuel usage. At present solar water heaters are considered as the most efficient water
heaters.
