Bath question

ok, the hot waters stoped working, blown diafram on the boiler, so I've no shower/baths, but its gonna be a few days and I was just pondering this question, how meny kettles of BOILING WATER (lets say a kettle holds 2L of water and that the water would be 100c exactly each time for simplicitys sake) would it take to heat up a bath of cold (5c) water (not sure of the volume of the bath, its a average one person jobbie so I'm sure someone can tell us.) to a resoanble tempereture

purly theoretical, I'm not gonna boil in excess of 10 kettles full of water just to have a bath, gonna go to the swimming pool insted.

come on guys, thinking caps on!

A lot, by the time youve filled the bath it would be cold anyway.

Fill the hand basin and have a quick wash that way, a lot faster and easier, or invade a neighbour if your friendly with any of them

as I said, this is just for the hell of it, just wanted to know

wonder if I could run a pipe to my water cooling unit.

Hmm, If I could remember any of my thermodynamics and heat transfer stuff, I'd tell you, but I can't

Probably take a lot of keetles, though will depend on how much water is in the bath at the time.

Think best thing to do would run a bath, and let it settle for a few hours, let the water get up to room temperature a bit better, though depends on how cold it comes out the taps to begin with.

well I shook it and it frose

It's barely worth the faff around. After two days of cold showers last year I decided to go for the kettle bath option. I was constantly boiling the kettle, and had every pan in the house full up with water and on the hob. Even then it took yonks. Just have a cold shower.

I would do, but the last time I did that it hurt, quite a bit.

you don't know how bleeding cold the water is here,

Kettle?! Are you Fred Flinstone?

Use an immersion heater. If you don't know what that is, Google is your friend.

you suck.
