The formula to calculate Heat Rate (Qrate) is:
\[ Q_{rate} = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T \]
Where:
Heat rate is the amount of energy required by an electrical generator or a power plant to produce a one-kilowatt hour of electricity.
Steam Flow is the rate by which steam flows to produce a one-kilowatt hour of electricity.
Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Temperature Difference is the measure of the hotness or the coldness of an object.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ Q_{rate} = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T \]
Evaluating:
\[ Q_{rate} = 30 \cdot 4184 \cdot 29 \]
The Heat Rate is 3640080 Watt.
