The energy needed to increase the temperature of a material is measured as heat capacity, which is a structure sensitive property. Traditional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can readily ...

The required heat pump capacity per building is calculated using the buildings peak heat demand. Due to some very high peaks this results in very high heat pump capacities, that are not very realistic ...

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 ...

Heat is a one form of energy that runs from substance having high temperature to a substance with low temperature with respect to a specific matter. Heat is a one form of energy that runs from ...

Because the technique provides such significant benefits, and because the transitions (phase changes, chemical reactions, etc.) observed in a sample as it is heated are often very complex, the ...

There are different ways to measure specific heat capacity. In this required practical activity, it is important to: make and record potential difference, current and time accurately measure and ...

The distances between particles are smallest in the solid, they are larger in the liquid and larger again in the gas. The particles in gases and liquids move more freely than in solids, so their ...
