Le terme "petite calorie" (cal), également connue sous le nom de calorie gramme, est une unité d'énergie couramment utilisée dans le domaine du traitement de l'eau et de l'environnement. Elle représente la quantité de chaleur nécessaire pour élever la température d'un gramme d'eau d'un degré Celsius (ou d'un Kelvin). Alors que la "grande calorie" (Cal), également connue sous le nom de kilocalorie, est plus courante dans les discussions quotidiennes sur l'énergie alimentaire, la "petite calorie" (cal) joue un rôle crucial dans la compréhension de divers processus au sein des secteurs du traitement de l'eau et de l'environnement.

Scenario:
A wastewater treatment plant uses a boiler to heat water for various processes. The boiler has a heat output of 100,000 calories per hour. The plant needs to heat 500 liters of water from 10°C to 60°C.
Task:
1. Calculating Total Energy Required:
The specific heat capacity of water is 1 calorie/gram °C.
We need to convert liters to grams: 500 liters * 1000 grams/liter = 500,000 grams
Temperature change: 60°C - 10°C = 50°C
Total energy required: 500,000 grams * 1 calorie/gram °C * 50°C = 25,000,000 calories
2. Calculating Boiler Runtime:
Boiler output: 100,000 calories/hour
Runtime: 25,000,000 calories / 100,000 calories/hour = 250 hours
Therefore, the boiler needs to run for 250 hours to heat the 500 liters of water from 10°C to 60°C.
