All I need is a Warm Shower.....

Here, the above diagram shows a common sight of a solar heating system put in place.

On a particular day, you came back home early in the afternoon and felt that you had a really long day at work. All you want to do is to take a warm shower, a light meal and some sleep..... However, a few weeks ago, one of your neighbors commented that your solar panel was not of a high standard and only had a efficiency of 30 % 30\% %. Due to this, you want to investigate how effective your solar heating system. On this same particular day, the amount of solar radiation falling on the panel is 600 W m 2 600W{ m }^{ -2 } . Given that the total area of the panel is 16 m 2 16{ m }^{ 2 } and at the same time, the water that enters the solar heating system is at a temperature of 1 5 0 C 15^{ 0 }C . Calculate the temperature of the water leaving the shower head when it is operating at the maximum flow rate of 90 g s 1 90g{ s }^{ -1 } .

Important : Consider the operation of the solar heating system to be working after 5 5 hours. To put in simply, use the time duration of 5 5 hours to help solve the problem. Don't forget to input your answer in degree Celsius.
