Designing a temporary heating system differs considerably from permanent installations. In early construction stages, you might face a tight roof with walls of sheet plastic, or nearly complete walls ...

You may be familiar with the formula BTUH = CFM x ΔT x 1.08. This same formula is often rearranged to use for determining airflow by measuring the heat input and temperature rise. The factor 3.41 ...

The use of nanocomposites, which use small-scale particle fillers to enhance the characteristics of thermoplastics and thermosets, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For instance, ...

Students learn to distinguish between heat and temperature. Thermochemistry: Students learn to distinguish between heat and temperature and to define and calculate specific heat capacity. They then ...

Quite some years ago I examined how, if we know the specific heat capacity of a particular thing, we can make an estimate of the time constant of that particular thing undergoing a thermal excursion ...

The relationship used to determine the heat energy required to change the state of a substance is: \(E_{h} = ml\) \(E_{h}\) is the energy required to change the state ( \(J\)) \(l\) is the specific ...

The specific latent heat of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of the substance without changing its temperature. It usually takes more energy to boil a substance ...
