To what temperature, in what country, outdoor/indoor etc etc etc

How long is a piece of string these days anyway?

Just mention something about them pick-pocketing the dead at Hillsborough.

A really small nuclear bomb is quick, easy and surprisingly cheap in these recessionary times.

€0.00

Just hop in and take a leak.

Very little if you take my spent rods!

melekalikimaka

a 50000 litre pool needs 60kw for every degree rise roughly.

Carl Sagan

50,000 euro.

Google is your friend, this is what I came up with. I hope that answers your question.

It will probably heat quicker in Provence than in any of the provinces of Ireland.

Twice the length from the middle.

Leaving cert physics. Assuming it's going from 10C to 25C and a perfecly efficient heater, €122

Homework?

Q= m*c*Temp difference

Q = 50000*4.12*(25-5)
Q = 4,120,000 W

About three fiddy.

I thought c = 4180 for water. Your result should be in joules.

We do have a "helpdesk" for these kind of questions. Go on - they're real friednly over there...

Those guys over there seem to have access to some form of Google on Steroids , they know everything.

If I started to get Yo're Ma all heated up, I'm sure she'd fill the pool with over 50,000 litres of 'water', which should take no less than 10 minutes?

And I'll do it for free

:pac:

If you can afford a 50,000 litre pool and then worry about the cost of heating it then you couldn't afford the pool in the first place.

i think this thread should be moved to the maths forum to calculate it

Think it was in reference to the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough,and The Sun newspaper alleged that other Liverpool fans pickpocketed the dead and urinated on them

And FWIW it wasnt funny and was in very bad taste!

Water expands when heated so the specific heat capacity per Litre will vary

if you want 50,000 litres at 25c then you can use a heat capacity of 4.1813 Kj / L

4,181,300 Kj / 3,600 seconds/hr = 1,161.47 Kwhr

Electricity are priced per unit so in the order of €200 but could nearer €100 if you are on the storage heater tariff.

Gas is also priced per unit too. But unless you have a condensing boiler there will be a fair bit of waste heat.

Heat losses have not been taken into account.
It is left as an exercise to the reader to calculate the initial volume of water needed.

Google's not his friend.

Its says "Oh no! Not you again!" everytime he uses it. Thats why hes here
