Title: Specific Heat of Solids II. Object: To determine the specific heat capacity of solids by methods of mixtures. III. Theory: When to or more substances at different temperatures are mixed‚ heat will flow from the substance of higher temperature to the substance of lower temperature. The heat flow will continue until equilibrium in temperature is reached. From the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ whatever amount of heat is lost by the hot substance must be equal to the heat gained by the cold

Specific Heat of a Metal Post-Lab I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. II. Safety Wear goggles and lab apron at all times. Use caution when boiling water. Do not pick up hot beaker or hot metal with hands. Use tongs. III. Pre-Lab Questions 1. A 12.5 g metal is raised to 100C in boiling water. It is put into 82.8 g of water at 22.4C‚ and the water rises to 28.6C. Recalling that the specific heat of water is 4.18J/gC‚ use the equation above

7/16/12 Heat of Fusion Heat of Fusion for Ice Introduction: This lab report is a step by step process in calculating the heat of fusion for ice and to compare the differences between salt added to room temperature water and salt added to icy water. To calculate heat of fusion‚ one must understand heat of fusion. Heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert a mass of a solid at its melting point into a liquid without an increase in temperature. As difficult as this may sound‚

overall heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m2.K. if the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s‚ at what point along the pipe will the steam begin condensing and what distance will be required for the steam to reach a mean temperature of 100 oC? Question 2: Consider a horizontal‚ thin walled circular tube of diameter D = 0.025 m submerge in a container of n-octadecane (paraffin)‚ which is used to store thermal energy. As hot water flows through the tube‚ heat is

In this lab‚ we will measure the heat of combustion‚ or calorimetry‚ of a candle and compare the found quantity with known values for other hydrocarbons. The calorific value is the total thermal energy released when a substance goes through complete combustion with oxygen. In order to achieve the purpose of this lab‚ we must first determine the mass of the tea candle. Then‚ we will determine our room temperature‚ measure about 100 mL of chilled water‚ and then pour the water into the given empty

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke As days slowly begin to heat up it is important to stay cool and keep hydrated across the screaming scorching sun. Summer time usually means longer days and if you live close to the equator you know about the 100+ degree weather that comes with it. Without the proper precautions you could easily fall to heat exhaustion or far worse a heat stroke. Athletes are more prone to this type of sudden illnesses because of the constant running and exercise they do on a daily

Research Summary Heat stroke is defined by Knochel and Ouchama (2002‚ p. 1978) as “a core body temperature that rises above 40°C (105°F) and that is accompanied by hot‚ dry skin and central nervous system abnormalities such as delirium‚ convulsions‚ or coma.” Heat stroke can be the result of either exposure to a high environmental temperature or from an elevated core temperature due to strenuous exercise. However‚ due to the presentation of an ‘unconscious unknown’ the diagnosis of heat stroke can be
