    State Heat Transfer laboratory were to study the rates of heat transfer for different materials of varying sizes‚ to develop an understanding of the concepts of forced and free convection and to determine the heat transfer coefficients for several rods. These objectives were met by heating several rods and allowing them to cool through free convection in air‚ free convection in water and forced convection in water- while monitoring their change in temperature over change in time. Seven heat transfer

    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
