What is the formula of heat generator?
Hence the heating effect produced by an electric current, I through a conductor of resistance, R for a time, t is given by H = I2Rt. This equation is called the Joule’s equation of electrical heating.
How do you calculate the heat of electricity?
To calculate the wattage requirement to heat steel, use the following equation:
- Watts = 0.05 x Lbs of Steel x ΔT (in °F) / Heat-Up Time (in hrs)
- Watts = 3.1 x Gallons x ΔT (in °F) / Heat-Up Time (in hrs)
- Watts = 165 x Gallons Per Minute X ΔT (in °F)
- Watts = 1.35 x Gallons x ΔT (in °F) / Heat-Up Time (in hrs)
How do you calculate the heat load of electrical equipment?
Multiply the panel surface area times the BTU/hr. per square foot (or watts per square meter) to get the external heat transfer in BTU/hr or in watts. Sum the internal and external heat loads calculated.
How do you calculate heat dissipation in watts?
Solution:
- Surface Area = 2[(48×36) + (48×16) + (36×16)] divided by 144 = 42 square feet.
- Input Power = 300/42 = 7.1 Watts/SqFt.
- From Curve: Temp. Rise = 30°F (16.7°C)
Which formula is used to calculate the heat generated as per Joules law?
Joule’s Law states that H (Heat) = I (Current) x V (Voltage) x T (Time the current is allowed to flow). Or, written differently, H (Heat) = I2 (Current squared) x R (Resistance) x T (Time the current is allowed to flow).
How do you calculate the heat load of a heat exchanger?
The heat load of a heat exchanger can be derived from the following two formulas:
- Heat load, Theta and LMTD calculation. Where: P = heat load (btu/h)
- Heat transfer coefficient and design margin. The total overall heat transfer coefficient k is defined as:
How do you calculate kW heat for a room?
Room Heat Calculator
- Take the measurements of your room in feet or metres. The multiply the Length of the room x the Width of the room x the Height of the room.
- The multiply this figure by a factor of 6 for BTU’s or by 0.0606 for kW.
- The result is now the mimimum heat output required to heat this room.
