Heat Dissipation Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Heat Dissipation (Q) is:

\[ Q = m \cdot C_p \cdot \Delta T \]

Where:

\( Q \) is the heat dissipation (Watts)
\( m \) is the mass flow rate of the fluid (kg/s)
\( C_p \) is the specific heat of the fluid
\( \Delta T \) is the temperature difference between the outlet and inlet

What is Heat Dissipation?

Heat dissipation is a type of heat transfer in which heat is transferred from a hotter object to a cooler object. In this case, the hotter object dissipates heat to the cooler object or substance. In many cases, heat dissipation involves the transfer of heat from a hotter object using a fluid.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass Flow Rate (m) = 2 kg/s
Specific Heat of the Fluid (C_p) = 4.18 kJ/kg°C
Temperature Difference (ΔT) = 10 °C

Using the formula to calculate Heat Dissipation:

\[ Q = 2 \times 4.18 \times 10 = 83.6 \text{ kW} \]

The Heat Dissipation (Q) is 83.6 kW.
