Q = c p m(TS TR )
where: Q = heat transfer rate
cp = specific heat
m = mass flow rate
TS = supply temperature
TR = return temperature
The engineering equation must have consistent
engineering units, for example, if flow is in units of
lbs/min, heat transfer should be in BTU/min. If,
instead, heat transfer is in units of BTU/hr, the
engineering equation must include a units conversion
constant (60 minutes/hour) to yield the correct
results. As another example, if the flow is in volume
units such as gallons/minute (GPM), a density

Transmitter Ranges:
Hot oil flow: 0 to 500 GPM
Hot oil supply temp: 100 to 200 F
Hot oil return temp: 100 to 200 F
For the design conditions shown above, the
engineering equation is modified as follows:
