How to determine air heating power in kW
Hi, I have been experimenting with evacuated tubes for heating air and am having some half reasonable results.
What I want to do is be able to put an actual power figure on each run to see what improvements I can make.
Can anyone point me to a formula or method for working this out please ... and if it uses centigrade rather than farenheit would be an advantage too.
Thanks.

Here's a link to a YouTube channel that explains heat transfer very well. Check out his other vids as well. https://youtu.be/bRZwzy0xvhM

Re: How to determine air heating power in kW
Thanks for the link Frank. I watched a few of his videos and then one of the suggested videos gave some answers, though still using farenheit and BTUs.
I replied over the weekend but it obviously didn't save because it's not here.
