Capacity Rate Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Capacity Rate?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

C = ṁ \cdot c

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

C = 101.5kg/s \cdot 1.5J/(kg*K)

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

C = 101.5 \cdot 1.5

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

C = 152.25W/K
