Calculation detail

Formula: Q = m × cp × ΔT

Sensible heat is obtained from mass, constant specific heat capacity and temperature change.

FORMULA VERIFICATION

Units, scope and reference

Reference: First-law sensible-heat relation Q = mcpΔT.

Internal unit basis: kg, kJ/kg·K, K. Outputs: kJ, kWh.

Valid conditions: Positive mass, cp and temperature-difference magnitude.

Limitations: Constant cp; no phase change, pressure work or heat loss.
