You are testing a water heater design. One criterion is that the water heater heat water to a temperature of 180 °F. During testing, you find that the water in the water heater reaches a temperature of 200 °F. What would you do next?

Explanation:

If the required max temperature needs to be 180 °F but the water temperature is hitting 200 °F then it is surpassing the desired temp and therefore failing to complete its purpose. Therefore, the next step would be to adjust the design and add a thermometer sensor to stop the water heater once the water temperature reaches the desired 180 °F. This would make the water heater serve its purpose as intended.

if i am correct, your answer choices are:

a. the temperature remains constant

b. the temperature increases at a constant rate

c. heat flows at a constant rate into the system

d. heat flows at a constant rate out of the system

e. no heat flows into or out of the system

if so, then the answer is e. no heat flows into or out of the system.
