Trying to determine the amount of energy required to heat a specific volume of air by a certain change in temperature. So far this is what I gotten.
Vol: 10,000 cubic feet = 283.17 m^3
Orig Temp: 0C (32F)
Final Temp: 21.1C (70F)
deltaT: 21.1 K or C
Density of air @ 0C: 1.293 kg/m^3
Cp @0C: 1.005 kJ/kg*K
So my math is
283.17 m^3 * 1.293 kg/m^3 = 366.14 kg
1.005 kJ/kg*K * 366.14 kg * 21.1 K = 7,764.11 kJ
Does this seem correct to the eyes of others?
Been puzzling over heating costs and this is one step.
