Heating Rate Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Heating Rate.
HR = dT / t
- Where HR is the Heating Rate (F/min)
- dT is the total change in temperature (F)
- t is the total time (min)
How to Calculate Heating Rate?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Heating Rate.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total change in temperature (F).
- The total change in temperature (F) is given as: 40.
- Next, determine the total time (min).
- The total time (min) is provided as: 20.
- Finally, calculate the Heating Rate using the equation above:
HR = dT / t
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
HR = 40 / 20 = 2 (F/min)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total change in temperature (F) = 60
total time (min) = 5
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
HR = dT / t = ?
