Total Heat Loss Formula

The total heat loss is calculated by multiplying the corrected volume flow rate, heat content per unit volume, and conversion factor from minutes to hours.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:exhaust-gas-total-heat-loss-cpp} Q_{total} = VFR_{total} \cdot Q_{flue} \cdot 60\end{equation}

Symbols

\(Q_{total}\)	Total heat loss \([\unit{ \btu\per\hour}]\)
\(VFR_{total}\)	Corrected volume flow rate \([\unit{ \cubicFoot\per\minute}]\)
\(Q_{flue}\)	Total heat value per unit volume \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot}]\)
\(60\)	Minutes per hour - see physics::conversions::kMinutesPerHour \([\unit{ \minute\per\hour}]\)
