Repeat Prob. 10–100 for a location at an elevation of 1500 m where the atmospheric pressure is 84.5 kPa and thus the boiling temperature of water is 95°C.

Data from problem 100

Water is to be boiled at sea level in a 30-cm-diameter mechanically polished AISI 304 stainless steel pan placed on top of a 3-kW electric burner. If 60 percent of the heat generated by the burner is transferred to the water during boiling, determine the temperature of the inner surface of the bottom of the pan. Also, determine the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the bottom of the pan if it is 6-mm thick. Assume the boiling regime is nucleate boiling. Is this a good assumption?
