Amount of heat required to increase the temperature

Input(s)

$V_{r}$: Volume of Reservoir (acre $\mathrm{ft}$ )

$M_{r}$: Volumetric Heat Capacity of Reservoir $\left(\mathrm{BTU} / \mathrm{ft}^{3} \mathrm{~F}\right)$

$T_{i}$: Initial Temperature (K)

$T_{f}$: Final Temperature (K)

Output(s)

Q: Amount of Heat Required to Increase the Temperature (BTU)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{Q}=43560 * \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{r}} * \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{r}} *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{i}}\right) $$
