Heat carried by a mass stream calculator

Steam and blowdown heat flows are mass rate times tabulated enthalpy.

Units

q_{\text{stream}} = \dot{m} \times h

Calculator

Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.

Given

q_{\text{stream}} = 1000 \times 1150 = 1{,}150{,}000

Symbol	Meaning	Unit
$q_{\text{stream}}$	stream heat on stated reference	Btu/h
$\dot{m}$	steam or water mass flow	lb/h
$h$	specific enthalpy on same reference	Btu/lb

Symbol	Meaning	Unit
$q_{\text{stream}}$	stream heat on stated reference	kW
$\dot{m}$	steam or water mass flow	kg/s
$h$	specific enthalpy on same reference	kJ/kg

Results are estimates for study and screening. Check the inputs, units and assumptions before you use them for design, billing or contract decisions.
