Symbols

\(Q\)	Heat loss \([\unit{ \btu\per\hour}]\)
\(\dot{m}\)	Feed rate of fixture material \([\unit{ \pound\per\hour}]\)
\(c_p\)	Specific heat of fixture material \([\unit{ \btu\per\pound\degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(T_\text{final}\)	Final temperature of fixture \([\unit{ \degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(T_\text{initial}\)	Initial temperature of fixture \([\unit{ \degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(f_\text{corr}\)	Correction factor \([\unit{ \unitless}]\)
