Tobruk Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The equation is like this: change in Temperature = energy / mass * specific heat So I plugged in the numbers: changeTemp = 67 000 J (as shown in Metal Refiner tooltip) / 800 000 g (the amount present in the Metal Ref. buffer) * 4,186 J/g/C T = 67 J / 800 g * 4,186 J/g/C T = 67 J / 3,348 J/C T = 224 C Now it seems unlikely the water will seriously gonna raise by that much. Where have I made a mistake?

chromiumboy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Here's the wiki page. It has details on coolant temperature changes https://oxygennotincluded.gamepedia.com/Metal_Refinery Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/105587-have-i-miscalculated-temp-raise-of-pwater-through-metal-refiner/#findComment-1187815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
qda Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I don't know if your numbers are right (SHC obviously is), but the calculation would be : Temperature change = SHC * mass / energy = 4,186*800000/67000 = 50°C Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/105587-have-i-miscalculated-temp-raise-of-pwater-through-metal-refiner/#findComment-1187950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abt9 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Since when specific heat capacity has temperature in its denominator I guess it is easier to change temperature of a bigger chunk of material then. Let's put all the water in a single giant reservoir! Just cool it with an Ice fan.
