    Heat Transfer

    • 4676 Words
    • 19 Pages

    Heat transfer Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler object ("object" in this sense designating a complex collection of particles which is capable of storing energy in many different ways). When an object or fluid is at a different temperature than its surroundings or another object‚ transfer of thermal energy‚ also known as heat transfer‚ or heat exchange‚ occurs in such a way that the body and the surroundings reach thermal equilibrium‚ this means that

    HEAT TRANSFER Heat transfer‚ also known as heat flow‚ heat exchange‚ or simply heat‚ is the transfer of thermal energy from one region of matter or a physical system to another. When an object is at a different temperature from its surroundings‚ heat transfer occurs so that the body and the surroundings reach the same temperature at thermal equilibrium. Such spontaneous heat transfer always occurs from a region of high temperature to another region of lower temperature‚ as required by the second

    Heat of Combustion Questions 1. When bonds are broken‚ energy is required. When bond are formed‚ energy is released. All combustion reactions are exothermic. Suggest a reason for this in terms of the bonds broken and bonds formed. The energy required to break the bonds is greater than the energy required to form. 2. Explain why the heat of combustion of alkanols increases as the length of the carbon chain increases. The heat of combustion of alkanol increases as the length of carbon chain

    Heat energy Temperature – measure of the average KE of the particles in a substance‚ measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin. Celsius 0⁰C (freezing point of water) to 100⁰C (boiling point of water) Kelvin 0 K (absolute zero‚ particles stop moving theoretically)‚ equivalent to -273.15⁰C. Uses the same scale for increase‚ ie. a 1⁰C increase in temperature equates to a 1K increase in temperature. Heat – amount of energy transferred‚ measured in Joules (J) Kinetic Energy‚ Thermal

    ANALYSIS On the first part of the experiment which is the determination of specific heat of metals. The obtained value of experimental specific heat of metal of aluminum and copper are 0.2152 calg-℃ and 0.0958 cal g-℃ ‚ respectively. It is a must to work faster in performing this experiment because working in an air-conditioned room greatly affects the result of the temperature. For the temperature values‚ the final temperature of mixture should not increase more than 1 ℃ compare

    Introduction- Heat is energy that is warm. Heat energy comes from different energy forms or types like electrical. Heat is also natural‚ from the sun. Heat transforms by reflecting on something and giving it warmth. The temperatures on the coloured cans will vary because they absorb different amounts of heat. According to the particle theory when an object heats up the particles spread out and move more. Aim- The aim of this experiment is to test how colour affects the amount of heat being absorbed

    “Sweet Heat” I think back and visualize the days of Bonnie and Clyde in the early 1930’s and reminisce about the first V8 powered vehicles driven during that era. That vision is what comes to mind when taking a drive with my father in his Ford street rod‚ “Sweet Heat”. “Sweet Heat” is a 1931 original steel Ford Sport Coupe that has been converted to a street rod powered by a ZZ4 350 cubic inch /400 Horsepower General Motors crate engine. The name “Sweet Heat” was derived from the hot new engine
