Sensible Heat Flow:
Special Case for Water
heat flow = mass flow (Tf) • enthalpy ( Tf )
Liquid Delta Heat:
General Case
heat flow = mass flow • specific heat • ( T2 - Tf )
Water Case
heat flow = mass flow(Tf) • [enthalpy (T2 ) - enthalpy (Tf)]
Expansion Factor Computation for Square Law Flowmeters:
In the following Equations, delta P is assumed in ("H

Heat Flow Computation:
Steam Heat
heat flow = mass flow • total heat steam(Tf, Pf)
Steam Net Heat
heat flow = mass flow • [total heat steam(Tf, Pf) - heat saturated water(Pf)]
Steam Delta Heat
heat flow = mass flow • [total heat saturated steam (Pf) - heat water (Tf)]
