Question: Which heats up faster: sand or water? Hypothesis: Sand heats up faster than water because it has a lower specific heat. Water has a specific heat‚ which requires one calorie of energy to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Sand has a lower specific heat. It takes .19 calories per gram to raise the temperature of the sand by 1 degree Celsius. Sand requires fewer calories to raise its temperature one degree Celsius and that’s why it heats up faster than water

In this chemical reaction‚ the magnesium will dissolve in the hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. This is because magnesium is higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series. Therefore‚ when the two reactants are combined‚ a displacement reaction occus and the magnesium displaces the hydrogen‚ forming magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) -> MgCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g) Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid -> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Aim The

Analysis of a bladeless steam turbine for use in a domestic combined heat and power system Peter Burton Edinburgh Napier university Abstract This report analyses the suitability of a bladeless ‘Tesla’ type steam turbine to determine its merit for use in a domestic combined heat and power system. A physical prototype was developed and built so that cost and performance data could be determined. With this done‚ a cost analysis was prepared to evaluate its performance when integrated into a

The term ‘urban heat island’ refers to the localized increase in temperature associated with an urban area. The UHI is an example of unintentional climate modification when urbanization changes the characteristics of the earth’s surface and atmosphere. It was observed that the UHI effect might result in minimum urban temperatures being 5-6° greater than the surrounding countryside. In the case of London‚ mean annual temperature was 11°C‚ while the surrounding countryside was 9.6°C and the suburbs
