Water Cooling Energy Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Water Cooling Energy (Q) is:

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

Where:

\(Q\) is the water cooling energy (kW)
\(\dot{m}\) is the mass flow rate of the water (kg/s)
\(C\) is the specific heat of the water (kJ/kg-K)
\(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature (°C)

What is Water Cooling Energy?

Water cooling energy refers to the amount of energy required to cool water by a certain temperature difference. It is calculated based on the mass flow rate of the water, the specific heat of the water, and the change in temperature. This concept is important in various applications, including HVAC systems, industrial processes, and thermal management.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass Flow Rate (\(\dot{m}\)) = 2 kg/s
Specific Heat (C) = 4.18 kJ/kg-K
Change in Temperature (\(\Delta T\)) = 10 °C

Using the formula to calculate the Water Cooling Energy (Q):

\[ Q = \dot{m} \cdot C \cdot \Delta T = 2 \cdot 4.18 \cdot 10 = 83.6 \]

The Water Cooling Energy (Q) is 83.6 kW.
