Water-side heat transfer

Estimate hydronic capacity from liquid flow, temperature difference, and fluid factor. Default factor 500 approximates water near typical HVAC temperatures.

Verify actual fluid properties when accuracy matters. The default 500 factor is an engineering approximation, not a universal constant.
