Amount of Heat Required to Increase the Temperature of Reservoir Formula and Calculator

Eq. 1

Q = 43,560 · Vr · Mr · (Tf - Ti)

Where:

Vr  = Volume of Reservoir (acre ft)
Mr = Volumetric Heat Capacity of Reservoir (BTU/ft3 F)
Ti = Initial Temperature (K)
Tf = Final Temperature (K)
Q = Amount of Heat Required to Increase the Temperature (BTU)
