Calculate Cooling Power

This function calculates the cooling power based on initial and final air conditions and volume flow rate.

Cooling power is the rate of energy transferred during a cooling process.

Usage

calcCoolingPower(Temp1, Temp2, RH1, RH2, volumeFlowRate)

Arguments

Temp1

Initial Temperature (°Celsius)

Temp2

Final Temperature (°Celsius)

RH1

Initial Relative Humidity (0-100%)

RH2

Final Relative Humidity (0-100%)

volumeFlowRate

Volume flow rate of air (m³/s)

Value

Cooling power in kilowatts (kW)
