In a solar hot-water system, the hot-water tank is maintained at 130°C. It is desired to have the solar heater heat the feed water going into the tank to 180°C. Determine the amount of heat per kilogram of water required from the solar heater to heat the water from 130°C to 180°C. Assume that the hot-water heater runs at constant pressure.
