Air and Water Thermodynamics Formulas

The document provides formulas for calculating various metrics related to heat transfer, air systems, power, water systems, and electrical systems. Some key formulas include: 1) Total heat transfer (qtotal) in BTU/h for air as a function of CFM, initial and final temperatures and enthalpies. 2) Fan power in horsepower as a function of CFM and static pressure. 3) Tons of refrigeration defined as 12,000 BTU/h. 4) Pump horsepower as a function of gallons per minute and head pressure. 5) Electrical calculations for full load amps, maximum overcurrent protection, and motor circuit amps.
