SPECIFIC HEAT
Specific heat of water = 1
Specific heat of steam (water vapor) = 0.49
Specific heat of air = 0.24
The specific heat of water is the reference for all other substances
and means that one Btu will change the temperature of one pound
of water one degree Fahrenheit. If a substance has a specific heat
of 0.25, then 1/4 Btu will change the temperature of the substance
one degree Fahrenheit or one Btu will change the temperature of
that substance four degrees Fahrenheit.
Similarly, 4.7 kJ will change the temperature of one kilogram
of water one kelvin. If a substance has a specific heat of 0.25,
then 4.7 kJ will change the temperature of that substance four
kelvins.
EXAMPLE:
1 gpm water at 20F ∆T = 10 000 Btuh
1 L/s water at 10 kelvins = 1692 kJ per hour
TEMPERATURE
Most temperature conversions will be between Fahrenheit
and Celsius (Centigrade) scales. These cannot be done with a
simple multiplier. The formulas are:
Temperature in degrees F = 9/5 x degrees C + 32.
Temperature in degrees C = 5/9 x (degrees F – 32).
Since Fahrenheit and Celsius scales coincide at –40 the
following alternate formulas may be used:
Temperature in degrees F = 9/5 x (degrees C + 40) – 40.
Temperature in degrees C = 5/9 x (degrees F + 40) – 40.
NOTE: A temperature range or span does not require
the factors to adjust the zero reference of the
temperature scales. A range or span is denoted
as Degrees Fahrenheit or Degrees Kelvin (K)
and converted as follows:
Degrees F = 9/5 x degrees K
Degrees K = 5/9 x degrees F
Absolute zero is noted in degrees Rankine (R) or Kelvin.
The approximate conversions are:
Degrees R = degrees F + 460.
Degrees K = degrees C + 273.
