There are coils inside the storage tank, and steam is passed through these coils; how can the temperature inside the tank be kept above 100 degrees?

There is a coil inside the storage tank; low-pressure steam flows through this coil. What area is required for the coil in order to ensure that the temperature inside the tank remains at least 100 degrees? Tank volume: 1.5 cubic meters
This takes into account the insulation of the tank; it is best to have it insulated. And no external liquid enters the liquid inside the tank. And maintain a certain level of pressure. A rise in temperature is just a matter of time. The larger the heat exchange area, the better. As long as the space inside the tank permits, the longer the tube length required for the coil, the better. For reference.
It is necessary to know the steam pressure, the specific heat of the material, and the latent heat. Will it have a boiling light?
It is best to heat it through a heat exchanger and then maintain the temperature! Just use an enamel kettle!
This can be determined through thermal equilibrium and heat transfer calculations. This is related to parameters such as the amount of water in the tank, the inlet temperature of the water, the steam temperature and pressure, the diameter of the pipes, the wall thickness, and the arrangement of the coils
For heat transfer due to fluid flow in and out of a medium, calculations are not possible without parameters
Heat exchange with a flowing medium is also calculated based on the amount of that flowing medium; the heat exchange area, on the other hand, is determined using the heat transfer coefficient
Assuming no medium enters or exits, and assuming no heat is lost, even a very small area can reach a specific temperature; it’s just a matter of how long it takes to heat up... So, what the question asks for cannot be calculated
The parameters must be provided in their entirety to perform heat exchange calculations
The parameters must be provided in their entirety to carry out heat transfer calculations
