SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM Energy Requirement for Water Space Heating Calculator










Energy Requirement Formula

Energy Requirement (\( Q_n = m \times C_p \times (T_2 - T_1) \)):

Where:

  • \( Q_n \) is the energy needed, in kilojoules per hour (kJ/hr).
  • \( m \) is the mass of water needed to be heated per hour, in kilograms (kg/hr).
  • \( C_p \) is the specific heat of water, 4.18 kJ/kg°C.
  • \( T_2 \) is the final temperature of warm water, in degrees Celsius (°C).
  • \( T_1 \) is the initial temperature of water, in degrees Celsius (°C).
