AWater is boiled at atmospheric pressure in a coffee maker equipped with a 20-cm-long 0.4-em-diameter
immersion-type electric heating element made of mechanically polished stainless steel (Cur =0.013). The
coffee maker initially contains 1 L of water at 14°C. Once boiling starts, it is observed that half of the water
in the coffee maker evaporates in 25 min. Determine
