A thin-wall jacketed tank, heated by condensing steam at one atmosphere contains 91 kg of agitated water. The heat transfer area of the jacket is 0.9 m2 and the overall heat transfer coefficient U = 227 W/(m2 K) based on that area. Determine the heating time required for an increase in temperature from 16°C to 60°C.
