Energy Release Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the energy release (Q) is:

\[ \text{Q} = \text{m} \times \text{Cp} \times \text{T} \]

Where:

\(\text{Q}\) is the energy release (J)
\(\text{m}\) is the mass (kg)
\(\text{Cp}\) is the specific heat capacity (J/kg°C)
\(\text{T}\) is the change in temperature (°C)

What is Energy Release?

Energy release is a measure of the total amount of energy that leaves a system during a time period. This term is often used in the context of chemical reactions to describe the energy emitted as the reaction proceeds.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass (m) = 2 kg
Specific Heat Capacity (Cp) = 4184 J/kg°C (for water)
Change in Temperature (T) = 10 °C

Using the formula to calculate the energy release (Q):

\[ \text{Q} = \text{m} \times \text{Cp} \times \text{T} = 2 \times 4184 \times 10 = 83680 \text{ J} \]

The energy release (Q) is 83680 J.
