A person takes 15 minute showers in 100°F water using a 2.0 gallon per minute shower head. Ignoring losses, how many cubic feet of natural gas did the shower need if the house has a 40,000 BTU/hour water heater? The incoming water temperature is 50°F. Is it possible for this person to complete this shower without the water temperature dropping?
