    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

    The Sun The sun is the largest object in the solar system. It is a middle-sized star and there are many other stars out in the universe just like it. Even though it is only a middle-sized star it is large enough to hold over 1 million Earth ’s inside if it were hollow. The temperature on the sun is far too much for any living thing to bear. On the surface it is 10‚000 degrees Fahrenheit and the core is a stunning 27‚000‚000 degrees Fahrenheit. But don ’t worry we are over 90‚000 million

    conducted to find the specific heat of a metal as well as the heat of solution of a solid. Both experiments required the use of calorimetry to measure heat flow and temperature change. The specific heat of the metal was found by heating it in boiling water before transferring it to the calorimeter that was partially filled with water. After shaking the calorimeter‚ the temperature change was measured and recorded. This information was used to calculate the specific heat. The heat of solution of a solid

    Heat exchanger A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy (enthalpy) between two or more fluids‚ between a solid surface and a fluid‚ or between solid particulates and a fluid‚ at different temperatures and in thermal contact. In heat exchangers‚ there are usually no external heat and work interactions. Typical applications involve heating or cooling of a fluid stream of concern and evaporation or condensation of single- or multicomponent fluid streams. In a few heat exchangers

    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

    The Sun It’s crazy to think that the big ball of fire that we looked at through a telescope in the beginning of the semester used to be nothing more than a cloud of gas and dust. I mean this is the center of our universe and greatest source of energy we are talking about and it was just basically a bunch of tiny particles floating in space trying to find their place in the universe. It wasn’t till gravity hit that these particles started fusing together. As a result a star was born and began to

    • 3 Pages

    Introduction Specific heat is defined as the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature. Specific heat of a substance is the heat needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance once degree Celsius. The more Joules (unit of heat) needed‚ the higher the specific heat will be. The goal is to determine specific heat of a soil sample as compared to water. This difference has many ramifications regarding our climate‚ with local and global. Hypothesis I predict that after

    Specific Heat and Conservation of Energy When energy in the form of heat Q is added to a material‚ the temperature of the material rises. Note that temperature‚ in units of degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K)‚ is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is‚ while heat‚ in units of joules (J) or calories (cal)‚ is a measure of its thermal energy. 1cal = 4.19J. A measure of the efficiency with which a substance can store this heat energy is known as specific heat capacity‚ or simply the specific heat‚ . The

    The Sun (Star of the Family) Planet word comes from Greek ‚which means „wandering star“. Sun is the heaviest among Solar System. If we take total mass of whole Solar System‚ the Sun would be 99.86% of the total. Sun is a ball of hot‚burning gases. Sun is the nearest star to the Earth. Sun is the source of all energy for life on Earth. On the Sun’s surface‚ there are dark patches known as sunspots. These are patches of gas that looks dark since they are cooler than their surroundings. The light
