## Heating Water Pool Model
For a pool of a given size (liters/gallons), with given insulation (R-value or
U-value), at an external air temperature, with/without a cover, with a given
input of electrical heating power, at a given initial temperature:
- how long to heat to a given temperature
- power needed to maintain temperature
- how much energy to heat
Assumptions/constraints:
- atmospheric pressure
- water stays between freezing and boiling
- humidity?

### Units
A BTU (Britich Thermal Unit) is the amount of heat (energy) which will increase
the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
A calorie (SI) is the amount of heat (energy) which will increase the
temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
1 BTU ~= 1055 Joule
1 BTU ~= 0.2931 watt hours
1 BTU ~= 252 calories
Refs:
- [Wikipedia: BTU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit)
### Heating
heat capacity of water: 4200 Joules / Kelvin / gramm
T: temperature
P: power (Watt)
t: time (second)
C: heat capacity (Joules / Kelvin)
m: mass (gramm)
dT/dt = P / (C * m)
### Conductive heat loss
Conductive loss (walls, floor):
theta: "heat flow rate" (Watt)
A: surface area (meter^2)
deltaT: temperature difference (Kelvin)
R_val: R-value (Kelvin * meter^2 / Watt)
assertion: T >= T_env
deltaT = T - T_env
theta = (deltaT * A) / R_val
Refs:
- [How To Calculate Heat Loss?](https://industrialheatingsystems.com/How-calculate-heat-loss.html)
### Evaporative heat loss
This part is trickier, lots of factors could be included.
k_s: heat loss factor
deltaT: temperature difference (Kelvin)
A: surface area (meter^2)
