    Power required to raise air temperature

    The diameter doesn't matter, the flow rate, temperature, and volume of the mass to be heated have been supplied. The heat will not be applied externally so the wall to gas transfer is immaterial. The question is how much power will it take to raise the temperature of 500lb/min of dry air at...
