Sameera Raziuddin Latent Heat of Fusion April 11‚ 2011 Abstract: A calorimeter‚ water at room temperature‚ ice‚ and a Pasco GLS Explorer were used in combination with a known value of the latent heat of fusion to create and carry out an experiment to determine the mass of an unknown amount of ice. Using the formula for latent heat of fusion‚ the mass of the ice was calculated to be 45.76g. The error of the carried out experiment was calculated to be 20.06%. Introduction:

Civil Engineering Department‚ College of Engineering‚ Adamson University Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the Latent Heat of Fusion of ice. In this experiment‚ the heat of fusion of ice will be determined by using the method of mixtures (Quantity of heat lost = Quantity of heat gained). Introduction When a substance changes phase

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

Alkanols Aim: To determine which alkanols has higher heat combustion Hypothesis: The alkanols with the longer carbon chain will a higher heat combustion Background Information: Heat combustion can be calculated by using various formulas. By using ΔH= -mcΔT‚ we can gather the amount of heat released. Since the experiment is exothermic‚ ΔH will have a negative value. By dividing the total amount by 1000‚ the units changes into KJ. Divide the total KJ of heat by the amount of fuel used(in grams) which gives

Practice Problems Set – 1 MEC301: Heat Transfer Q.1 The slab shown in the figure is embedded on five sides in insulation materials. The sixth side is exposed to an ambient temperature through a heat transfer coefficient. Heat is generated in the slab at the rate of 1.0 kW/m3. The thermal conductivity of the slab is 0.2 W/m-K. (a) Solve for the temperature distribution in the slab‚ noting any assumptions you must make. Be careful to clearly identify the boundary conditions. (b) Evaluate T at the

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

one of the worst disasters to strike the city of Chicago in the form of a heat wave that swept across the Great Plains and the Mid West in July 1995. It represented the affect of the disaster and also the problems faced by the healthcare and public protection authorities in coping up with the situation during and after the disaster. The number of lives lost was estimated to be 522 and 733‚ count given by two sources. The heat wave struck Chicago on 11 July and it left on 16th July leading to an annihilating

Racism is one of the world’s major issues today that has been continuing on for centuries. In the stories‚ In The Heat Of The NIght‚ written by John Ball‚ and in To Kill A Mockingbird‚ written by Harper Lee‚ racism promotes a great deal of negative relations and actions between the characters. In the story‚ In the Heat Of The Night‚ Virgil Tibbs is associated with racism. Virgil Tibbs becomes a suspect of murder for being out late at a train station and for being black.
