Title: Specific Heat of Solids II. Object: To determine the specific heat capacity of solids by methods of mixtures. III. Theory: When to or more substances at different temperatures are mixed‚ heat will flow from the substance of higher temperature to the substance of lower temperature. The heat flow will continue until equilibrium in temperature is reached. From the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ whatever amount of heat is lost by the hot substance must be equal to the heat gained by the cold

SOLAR BOOSTED HEAT PUMP WATER HEATERS ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the solar boosted heat pump water heater technology. The tests made on direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps have shown that good COP can be attained while using working fluids that do not cause any harm to the environ ment. Modifications to the condenser in the heat pump can be made in order to improve and distribute evenly the heat transferred to the water. NOMENCLATURE HPWH – Heat Pump Water Heater

6 report Anita Dey Thursday 8am Abstract: We recently performed a liquid nitrogen experiment in finding the Latent heat of the substance. We isolated two parts of the experiment in order to find out how much evaporation of the liquid nitrogen was from the surroundings B and how much evaporation from the electricity G. 1. When a substance is undergoing a phase transition‚ more heat (energy) is being added to the Substance but its temperature (a way of measuring its energy) is not changing. Where

thermal‚ mechanical and hydraulic design response report to a heat exchanger problem where ethylene glycol and a poor quality feed of water are put through a shell and tube exchanger with the objective of cooling the ethylene glycol feed. A shell and tube exchanger was chosen over several other exchangers due to its high efficient performance and its relative ease of maintenance in processing these fluids. From the data given and specific heat capacity researched for ethylene glycol‚ a MatLab script

or film of liquid on one side of a metallic surface‚ with heat supplied to the other side. The unique feature of this equipment is not the thin film itself‚ falling and rising-film evaporators use thin liquid layers‚ but rather the mechanical agitator device for producing and agitating the film (APV‚ 2000). Conventional heat transfer equipment may not be well suited for certain evaporation applications‚ particularly those involving heat sensitive products‚ viscous material or chemical constituents

Title: Specific Heat Capacities of Metals Experiment Date: 3/28/2012 Report Date: 4/4/2012 Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to measure the specific heat capacities of aluminum‚ steel and brass. Theory: The amount of heat (ΔQ) required to change the temperature of an object is proportional to the mass (m) of the object and the temperature change (ΔT) of the object. ΔQ= cmΔT where c is called as the specific heat capacity of the material. In the calorie units system the unit of quantity

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

experiment aimed to determine the specific heat of two different metals‚ Lead and Zinc‚ in order to calculate their individual atomic weight. Theory The calorimeter consists of a metal outer cup‚ a removable metal inner cup‚ which is held in place by a rubber ring‚ and an insulating lid with a small opening for a thermometer. It is a closed system as the air between the inner cup and outer cup insulates the water and heated metal‚ so‚ ideally‚ all heat is contained within the calorimeter (1). Early

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
