How room temperature will change in 1 hour

Click For Summary
Calculating temperature changes in a room with a radiator involves considering both the energy input from the heater and the heat loss through walls and ventilation. While initial calculations can estimate how much energy is needed to raise the air temperature, they quickly become inaccurate as solid objects in the room absorb heat and affect overall temperature dynamics. The steady-state condition, where heat input equals heat loss, is crucial for realistic modeling, especially over longer periods. For practical applications, such as a heating simulator, numerical methods can provide a more adaptable approach to predict temperature changes. Understanding the complexities of heat transfer is essential for developing an accurate simulation model.

How can I go from 4050W to the W/K unit? Or is it already 4050W/J?

4050W is the power needed to maintain a15C difference between inside and out. If you want that in W/K (or W/C) just divide by 15.
