A vessel holding 100 litres of water has a 20 heating element connected to a voltage of 240 V. The 5 mm thick vessel walls are made of an insulating material with a thermal conductivity of 0.3 W/m.k, and the vessel has a surface area of 1 m². The air surrounding the vessel is 20°C. Determine the rate the water temperature initially increases. (assume a uniform temperature increase within the vessel). Provide answer in K/s.
