ou are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 25 m long, and 25 m wide. Your client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to 30°C in 3 h. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960 W/m2, and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30°C at those conditions.

What heater size (in kW input) would you recommend to your client?
