    A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element. The thermal mass and conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element. All heat detectors have this thermal lag. Heat detectors have two main classifications of operation‚ "rate-of-rise" and "fixed temperature." |Contents | |

    Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation‚ use‚ conversion‚ and exchange of thermal energy and heat between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms‚ such as thermal conduction‚ thermal convection‚ thermal radiation‚ and transfer of energy by phase changes. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species‚ either cold or hot‚ to achieve heat transfer. While these mechanisms have distinct characteristics

    Heat of Neutralization: Lab Report In part A of this lab I determined the heat capacity of a calorimeter made out of two Styrofoam cups nesting together with a cardboard top containing a hole in the middle. First I placed 50 mL of water in the calorimeter‚ waited five minutes for the water to reach equilibrium‚ and used the computer’s temperature instrument to record the final temperature of the system. Next I heated 50 mL of water in a 250 mL beaker until the water reached 43.1 C (approximately
