The heat capacity of a steam heated convector can be expressed as
`H_c = q_s h_s lambda_c`
where
- `H_c` = heat capacity of convector (kW, Btu/h)
- `q_s` = condensate rate (kg/h, lb/h)
- `h_s` = latent heat steam (2675 kJ/kg, 970 Btu/lb)
- `lambda_c` = convector temperature correction coefficient = 1 for inlet temperature 65oF (18oC) and steam temperature 215oF (100oC).
