Specific Heat Lab Report “Here are the facts we confront; No one is against conservation. No one is against alternative fuel sources.” – J. D. Hayworth Research Question: Does the number of hydrocarbons that a fuel is composed of affect how much it will ignite? If so‚ consider the following: What is the quantity and concentration of the combustion that is released and how can that be measured in other (more coherent) means? These are the fuels that were seasoned throughout the

Longitudinal and transverse waves Sound is transmitted through gases‚ plasma‚ and liquids as longitudinal waves‚ also called compression waves. Through solids‚ however‚ it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal sound waves are waves of alternating pressure deviations from the equilibrium pressure‚ causing local regions of compression and rarefaction‚ while transverse waves are waves of alternating shear stress at right angle to the direction of propagation

Introduction The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of the universe is constant. Heat is transferred when the atoms of one material vibrate and collide with the atoms of another material‚ thus transferring energy. For this reason‚ heats always travel from hot to cold objects and two objects will reach an equilibrium temperature. Materials and Methods 1. Oven 7. Test Tube 2. Pasco Temperature Probe 8.

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

1. INTRODUCTION An engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into another form. Most of the engines convert thermal engine to mechanical work and therefore they are called heat engine. Heat engine can be broadly classified into two types. i. Internal combustion engine ii. External combustion engine 1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE:- This type of engine is again classified into two types. i. Rotary ii. Reciprocating The reciprocating engine is a highly complex

ANALYSIS On the first part of the experiment which is the determination of specific heat of metals. The obtained value of experimental specific heat of metal of aluminum and copper are 0.2152 calg-℃ and 0.0958 cal g-℃ ‚ respectively. It is a must to work faster in performing this experiment because working in an air-conditioned room greatly affects the result of the temperature. For the temperature values‚ the final temperature of mixture should not increase more than 1 ℃ compare

Abstract Different substances react in various ways when exposed to heat. The amount of energy necessary to heat a certain amount of water by one degree is different than that of another liquid or substance. The technical term used to determine this characteristic is called heat capacity or specific heat capacity. The purpose of this experiment is to find the heat capacity of water‚ orange juice‚ and olive oil. A couple of very specific equipment is needed in order to complete this experiment

The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now‚ heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 15°C. Determine (a) the final pressure‚ (b) the change in the volume of the cylinder‚ and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a. 3. Determine the specific volume of superheated
