Gas fired burner with combustion air fan producing 589 cfm. trying to find btu/hr.
scfm x 1.1 (T2-T1)/available heat= btu/hr
If available heat is T2-T1/100, is the number extrapolated the low fire btu/hr?

scfm x 1.1 (T2-T1) equals the heat input in BTU/hr into air to raise the temperature from T1 TO T2. In other words

btu/hr = scfm x 1.1 (T2-T1)

Your statement that:

scfm x 1.1 (T2-T1)/available heat= btu/hr

Does not make sense. Please explain what you mean by this.
