Btu to Temperature Change Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the temperature change (ΔT) is:

\[ \Delta T = \frac{Q}{m \times c} \]

Where:

Specific Heat: The amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. It measures how much energy a substance can absorb before its temperature rises. Different substances have different specific heats, affecting how they respond to heat energy.

Let's say the energy (Q) is 500 Btu, the mass (m) is 10 pounds, and the specific heat (c) is 0.5 Btu/lb°F. Using the formula:

\[ \Delta T = \frac{500}{10 \times 0.5} \]

We get:

\[ \Delta T = 100 \, \text{°F} \]

So, the temperature change is 100°F.
