mopo, no my fault. Sorry, I was just trying to give something that might be easier to remember. ΔT calcs are easy and 8.3 pounds per gallon.

There are 3413 BTUs in a kilowatt if you want to convert your bill. It's just some of us don't know what mols are, but non-electric water waters, furnaces, and boilers all have BTU ratings. The Eurpopean alternative is kilowatts. I have a 32 KW boiler, although they are sized by BTUS here.

I wasn't at all trying to dismiss what you are saying. I did want to point out that some research that's been done (NRC) has showed transfer efficiency to be in the 30 to 60% range for factors like length, loop wrapped piping diameter, drain diameter and even manufacturer. I'll add the link if I could find it.

I have no intentions of offending you, just wanted to show what maybe easier to remember calculations. I tend to think in BTUs.

What fields use mol as a measure and what does it represent?
