SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the temperature increase in a room based on a bulb's heat output (Q W), the room's volume (V m3), airflow rate (F m3/s), and the intake air temperature (T °C). To accurately determine the temperature rise, additional information such as the specific heat capacity of air and the duration of heating is necessary. The calculation can be approached using the formula ΔT = Q / (ρ * V * cp), where ρ is the air density and cp is the specific heat capacity of air.
