I want to heat a small reservoir filled with water. I want to find out how long it will take to heat the water from a specific temperature to a specific temperature. random example. The continuous power source is 720 watts The Initial temp is -40c The Final temp is 70c No heat loss. Water...

Hmm so I feel like I'm missing something. I'll just make something up. 540w source. 0 Heat loss through storage: Initial temperature of oil: -40 Final temp: 70 degrees Qnet = Made up Time = Made up Qnet is in what units or, what is it exactly? Where do I make up a qnet number so that I can...

Types of metals, plastics and others like fiber glass. Also I have another question. How do I calculate how long it takes to heat liquid up with different amounts of energy. Say from -40c, how long does it take to heat oil to 71c with a 120volts. This is bare bones, but I just want to know...
