BTU to Fahrenheit Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Temperature Change (\(\Delta T\)):

\[ \Delta T = \frac{Q}{m \cdot C} \]

Where:

\(\Delta T\) is the Temperature Change in Fahrenheit
\(Q\) is the Heat Energy in BTUs
\(m\) is the Mass of the substance in pounds
\(C\) is the Specific Heat Capacity in BTU/lb°F (assumed to be 1 for water)

What is BTU to Fahrenheit Conversion?

BTU to Fahrenheit conversion calculates the change in temperature of a substance given a certain amount of heat energy in BTUs. This conversion is commonly used in heating and cooling applications to determine how much the temperature of a substance will change when a specific amount of heat energy is added or removed.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Heat Energy (\(Q\)) = 500 BTUs
Mass (\(m\)) = 10 pounds

Using the formula:

\[ \Delta T = \frac{500}{10 \cdot 1} = 50 \text{ °F} \]

The Temperature Change is 50 °F.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Heat Energy (\(Q\)) = 300 BTUs
Mass (\(m\)) = 5 pounds

Using the formula:

\[ \Delta T = \frac{300}{5 \cdot 1} = 60 \text{ °F} \]

The Temperature Change is 60 °F.
