Wort Boiling Energy
Calculate wort boil-off mass, latent evaporation energy, and equivalent ideal steam consumption from batch volume, gravity, evaporation rate, and boil time.
OPERATING LIMITS — Latent-load calculation only; include heat-up, losses and actual steam conditions.

Technical Methodology & Engineering Principles
GOVERNING EQUATION
Wort mass = volume × specific gravity; evaporated mass = wort mass × evaporation rate × boil time; latent heat = evaporated mass × 2.26 MJ/kg.
Assumptions & Scope
Latent evaporation load only, using 2.26 MJ/kg. Heating to boiling, vessel losses, steam-side efficiency, condensate condition, and boil-off variation are excluded.
Operating Range & Boundary
Volume, specific gravity, evaporation rate, and boil time must be non-negative.
