Combustion Chamber Temperature Calculator

Combustion Chamber Temperature Calculator: Heat Addition Temperature Rise

When a known quantity of heat is released into a fixed mass of gas inside a combustion chamber, this calculator predicts the resulting temperature rise using basic sensible heat principles.

The Formula

T2 = T1 + Heat Added / (Mass × Specific Heat)

Worked Example

1 kg of gas at 298 K with specific heat 1.15 kJ/kg·K receives 500 kJ of heat.

T2 = 298 + 500 / (1 × 1.15) = 732.78 K

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the initial gas temperature.
2. Enter the heat added in kJ.
3. Enter the gas mass in kg and its specific heat in kJ/kg·K.
4. Click Calculate to get the resulting temperature.
