Sorry I dropped off the radar, been caught up in the floods in Brisbane Australia. I'm pumping water at 11 litres/minute and need to know the energy input required to heat that flow rate to 80C (from 20C). Thanks for your patience. Sincerely, Adam I think the following applies for heating water 11L/minute (0.183 kg/s) at 80C (dt is 55C) q = h / ( cp ρ dt ) where q = volumetric flow rate h = heat flow rate cp = specific heat capacity ρ = density dt = temperature difference h = q ( cp ρ dt ) and h = 0.183 ( 4.2 ) ( 55) h = 42 kW

I'll elaborate a little. I trying to work out how to calculate and how to make at least 180 F (80 C) and 3 gallons per minute (11 liters/min)? Thanks in advance! Adam
