Calculations to convert power loss into heat loss where the temperature rise in material is unknown due to current flow. I couldnt get the formulae which doesnot contain temperature parameter.

Power is Watts and you can express Watts as Joules per unit time. – Solar Mike Jun 26 '17 at 05:56

Power loss is measured in watts, or joules/second.
Heat loss is measured in joules, or watt*seconds.
Neither involves temperature as a parameter. The conversion factor is the time over which the loss occurs.
If however you are using 'heat' as a synonym for temperature, then 'temperature loss' might be calculated by using the thermal capacity of an object over the rate at which it's losing heat energy, times time.
