Heat Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat Rate = Steam Flow*Specific Heat Capacity*Temperature Difference
Q_rate = m*c*ΔT
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Heat Rate - (Measured in Watt) - Heat rate is the amount of energy required by an electrical generator or a power plant to produce a one-kilowatt hour of electricity.
Steam Flow - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Steam Flow is the rate by which steam flows to produce a one-kilowatt hour of electricity.
Specific Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Temperature Difference - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature Difference is the measure of the hotness or the coldness of an object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Steam Flow: 30 Kilogram per Second --> 30 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity: 4.184 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 4184 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Temperature Difference: 29 Kelvin --> 29 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_rate = m*c*ΔT --> 30*4184*29

Evaluating ... ...

Q_rate = 3640080

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3640080 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3640080 ≈ 3.6E+6 Watt <-- Heat Rate

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
