Example - Time required to Heat up Water with direct Injection of Steam

The time required to heat 75 kg of water (cp = 4.2 kJ/kgoC) from temperature 20oC to 75oC with
steam produced from a boiler with capacity 200 kW (kJ/s) can be calculated by transforming eq.
2 to

t = m cp dT / q

= (75 kg) (4.2 kJ/kgoC) ((75 oC) - (20 oC)) / (200 kJ/s)

= 86 s
