Mass of Hot Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Mass of Hot Fluid is the mass of the hotter fluid in the heat exchanger.
Specific Heat Capacity of Hot Fluid - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity of Hot Fluid is a physical property of matter, defined as the amount of heat to be supplied to a unit mass of the hotter fluid to produce a unit change in its temperature.
Inlet Temperature of Hot Fluid - (Measured in Kelvin) - Inlet Temperature of Hot Fluid is the temperature at which the hot fluid enters the heat exchanger.
Outlet Temperature of Hot Fluid - (Measured in Kelvin) - Outlet Temperature of Hot Fluid is the temperature at which the hot fluid exits the heat exchanger.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Hot Fluid: 8 Kilogram --> 8 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity of Hot Fluid: 300 Joule per Kilogram per K --> 300 Joule per Kilogram per K No Conversion Required
Inlet Temperature of Hot Fluid: 343 Kelvin --> 343 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Outlet Temperature of Hot Fluid: 323 Kelvin --> 323 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = m_h*c_h*(T_hi-T_ho) --> 8*300*(343-323)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 48000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

48000 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

48000 Joule <-- Heat
