Modeling a water heater

Fafefas Fsafsss Jun 10, 2014 8:53 AM

hello,

i'm trying to model a heater heating water in an enclosed vessel. I have a 3kw heater and want to know how fast the water will boil. I got the simulation working but i think the heat transfer is much to slow, the water should heat much faster... and i can't seem to find a reasson why can anyone please help me? I will attach the model and report so you can see the details.

any help will be greatelly apreciated

so how do you know when the solution is complete? when it his 100deg C?

"you think" the solution should be something different. what are you comparing it to? do you have a known condition that you can test?

  yes that's mainly it i wanna know how long it takes. I've been comparing it by a commercial water kettle it takes about 2-3 minutes to biol 1 liter of water and has about the same power (2400W)...When i have a prototype i'll compare it with that but for now that is the best i've got

    So is your kettle example working? If so, it could just be your design with the issue or a setup issue.
