How long will it take to heat up a bathtub full of cold water

[eflat]

I figure I need 85 degrees or so to be comfortable. Any guesses?

You're warming the water by turning up the heat in your house???

no, just space heating the bathroom.

that would be wasteful

Do you get your bathwater from the local town well?

What temp is the water?

 

[NoToRiOuS1]

heh...interesting question you got there fella

Umm... just turn on the hot water faucet.

Or put cold water in the tub. Get your biggest pot and boil the water, get it as hot as possible, then put it in the tub. You might have to have two potfuls, but it should heat up the tub to a good temp. Much more efficient and not wasteful.

less than 60. i am looking for a thermometer i can dunk in the water.

the room is up to 109.

Is the heater electric?

You might get better results going in the tub and then submersing the heater in the water with you.

just kidding.

We'll need some measurements first. Then anybody who's taken basic differential equations can solve this (given that the water is mixed well enough such that the temperature is uniform).

In that case the answer to the original question is Friday.

i am actually just running a couple of powerful dehumidifiers in the room that expel enough heat to bring up the temperature. hopefully they do not suck all the water out of the tub.

i was thinking about putting my powermac in there too. you would not believe how hot these G5 processors get.


anyways i think most modern heaters are grounded
