Recently I came across this requirement of calculating heat required to heat air (for AHU), I came across two simplified formulas, as follows.
Please also note the learning from this workout at the bottom!
Learning!
for delta T, Centigrade vs Fahrenheit are different!
I was thinking, as long as its Delta (Difference between two temperature), °F and °C doesn’t matter! I was WRONG… See following example
Raise temperature of air from 10 °C to 110°C, Temperature difference is 100°C
Where as in Fahrenheit, its 50°F (10°C) to 230°F (110°C) i,e difference is 180°F!
This is an intresting blog that you have posted, you shares a lot of things about Mechanical Design, Sprinkler System new york and Fire Alarm Filing New York. Which are very informative for us. Thanks
There is only a difference if you do not change the units for the specific heat and mass to the metric system.
