Please turn off Caps Lock.

Please advise:

  • The flowrate of the material
  • The percentage make-up of each component of the material, so a mixture thermal capacity can be estimated
  • The start temperature
  • The finish temperature

This will enable a heat duty to be calculated.

After this it is then a matter of selecting the correct heating arrangement for the task.
