Amount of Heat Required to Increase the Temperature of Reservoir Formula and Calculator

Eq. 1

Q = 43,560 · V_r · M_r · (T_f - T_i)

Where:

V_r  = Volume of Reservoir (acre ft)
M_r = Volumetric Heat Capacity of Reservoir (BTU/ft³ F)
T_i = Initial Temperature (K)
T_f = Final Temperature (K)
Q = Amount of Heat Required to Increase the Temperature (BTU)
