Definitions

Common Abbreviations
  • KW = Killowatts
  • Gal = Gallons
  • in = Inches
  • SpH = Specific Heat of Solution
    (Water = 1 calorie/gram)
  • SpW = Specific Weight of solution
    (Water = 8.337 lbs/gal)
  • T°F = Change in temperature, degrees Fahrenheit
  • T°C = Change in temperature, degrees Centigrade
  • Min = Heatup time in minutes

Common Equivalents
  • 1 in = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm = 0.083ft
  • 1 cm = 0.3937 in = 0.0328 ft.
  • 1 in³= 16.39 cm³
  • 1 BTU = 0.2933 watt-hrs
  • 1 KW-Hr = 3412 BTU

Properties Of Water
  • 1 gallon = 231 in³ = 0.1337 ft³ = 3.785L
  • 1 gallon = 8.337 lbs.
  • 1 ft³ = 62.4 lbs. (at 20°C)
  • specific heat = 1 calorie/gram-°C (at 15°C)
  • specific heat = 1 BTU/lb.-°F (at 15°C)
  • specific weight = 8.337 lbs./gallon heat of vaporization = 965 BTU/lb.

Ohm's Laws
  • Volts = Amperes x Ohms
  • Watts = (Amperes)² x Ohms
  • Amperes = Watts / Volts
  • Amperes/Phase = (Watts / Volts) x 0.578
  • (Assuming Balanced 3-Phase Load)
