physics and chemistry‚ heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways‚ among them conduction‚radiation‚ and convection. The SI unit of heat is the joule. Heat can be measured by calorimeter‚ or determined indirectly by calculations based on other quantities‚ relying for instance on the first law of thermodynamics. In calorimeter‚ the concepts of latent heat and of sensible heat are used. Latent heat produces changes of

HEAT GENERATED IN APPLIANCES Why do some appliances produce more heat than the others? Most appliances with high power rating are heating appliances.The heating appliances has a heating element like resistors. The resistorsconvert electrical energy into light and thermal energy . It depends on the resistance of material if how much heat can be produced from electricity. Those devices who produced heat‚ the Nichrome wire is an element who is responsible for heating . when we say nichrome

Air Source Heat Pump Description and Operation: A heat pump is classified according to the source from which it extracts heat‚ i.e. the low temperature heat source. One that collects and utilises thermal energy from the outside air to heat the home and provide domestic hot water is called an air source heat pump. In an air source heat pump‚ outdoor air is drawn into the heat exchanger‚ which contains coils filled with a pressurised refrigerant gas. The refrigerant gas referred to here is

Techniques of Waste Heat Recovery Waste heat recovery is being more used more and more often today as it is becoming more effective‚ due to increasing energy prices‚ technological developments and a decrease in equipment costs. Heat recovery can be classified into three main strategies: recycling energy back into the process‚ recovering the energy for other onsite use and using it to generate electricity in combined heat and power systems. Once the system has been made as efficient as possible before

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
Premium Heat Temperature Thermodynamics
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
