1. Thermal inertia is a measure of the thermal mass and the velocity of the thermal wave which controls the surface temperature of a material. In heat transfer‚ a higher value of the volumetric heat capacity means a longer time for the system to reach equilibrium. 2. The ocean acts as a massive heat-retaining solar panel. 3. Salinity‚ temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater. 4. A pycnocline is the cline or layer where the density gradient (∂ρ⁄∂z) is greatest within a body of water

THERMAL SENSITIVITY REPORT METHOD Measuring oxygen concentration: One glass vial was filled with 7-13 Artermia. After incubation‚ uncapped at 15oC for 5 minutes‚ the glass vial was sealed underwater and incubated again for another 5 minutes. After this 5-minute incubation‚ a reading of oxygen concentration was taken via a fibre-optic cable held onto a sensor spot on the vial. The vial was then returned to the incubation bath. The first reading represented time zero and subsequent readings

THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM AND TEMPERATURE Two systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium with each other‚ if they are at the same temperature. ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS It states that if two systems A and B are in thermal equilibrium with a third system C‚ then A and B must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. Fig. 1.01 shows two systems A and B separated by an adiabatic wall (a wall which does not allow hear flow).The two systems are placed in contact

Lab #7: Thermal Energy Heat is thermal energy being transferred from one place to another‚ because of temperature changes. This can take place by three processes. These three processes are known as conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation. When we place two objects with different temperatures in contact with each other‚ the heat from the hotter object will immediately and automatically flow to the colder object. This is known as conduction. Some objects make excellent conductors of heat while

Thermal Conductivity Heat can be transferred in three different ways: convection‚ radiation and conduction. Conduction is the way heat is transferred in a solid‚ and therefore is the way it is transferred in a heat sink. Conduction occurs when two objects with different temperatures come into contact with one another. At the point where the two objects meet‚ the faster moving molecules of the warmer object crash into the slower moving molecules of the cooler object. When this happens‚ the faster

nuclei are split. It is also released during fusion‚ when hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus. In fission and fusion‚ nuclear energy produces thermal energy‚ which is given off as heat. Fission’s heat is used to generate electric power in hundreds of locations worldwide. The sun and other stars use fusion to generate radiant and thermal energy. As stars give off energy‚ they lose mass. Someday humans may be able to harness nuclear fusion as well. Nuclear energy also has other uses

Aim: To investigate the rate of thermal decomposition of CaCO3 at different temperatures. Research Question How does temperature influence the rate of thermal decomposition in CaCO3? Hypothesis Every time more heat is added to the element‚ CaCO3‚ thermal decomposition will take place faster because the heat is a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. Variables Dependent Variables → Mass of Calcium Carbonate Independent Variables → Temperature Controlled Variables → Calcium Carbonate
