ONE FORMULA, ONE ANSWER
Sensible Heat Calculator
Calculate sensible heat for heating or cooling without a phase change. Choose input units and calculate one value within the stated conditions.
Inputs
Calculations run in this browser. Scientific notation such as 1.2e-3 is supported. Do not group thousands.
Result
Sensible heat change Q
Enter values and select Calculate.
Q = mc_pΔT
Assumptions
Required: m,c_p>0 and approximately constant c_p over the temperature interval. Use constant-pressure heating or cooling, or the usual solid/liquid approximation. Cooling is negative. Latent heat, heat losses, heating time and heater efficiency are excluded.
Displayed values are floating-point approximations. Design safety factors and unprovided error contributions are not calculated.
