Amount of heat required to increase the temperature
Input(s)
\(V_{r}\): Volume of Reservoir (acre \(\mathrm{ft}\) )
\(M_{r}\): Volumetric Heat Capacity of Reservoir \(\left(\mathrm{BTU} / \mathrm{ft}^{3} \mathrm{~F}\right)\)
\(T_{i}\): Initial Temperature (K)
\(T_{f}\): Final Temperature (K)
Output(s)
Q: Amount of Heat Required to Increase the Temperature (BTU)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{Q}=43560 * \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{r}} * \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{r}} *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{i}}\right)
\]
