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, ...

Different substances require different amounts of energy to gain temperature. It takes less energy to raise the temperature of a 1 kg block of lead by 1°C, than it does to raise the temperature of 1 ...
Heat Capacity: Did you know that earlier the unit of heat was calorie? One calorie was defined to be the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1 C. Read the article to ...
Specific latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kilogram (kg) of a material without changing its temperature. As there are two boundaries, solid/liquid and liquid/gas, ...
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 ...
When a mass of material adsorbs heat energy its temperature increases. The temperature rise DT is related to the heat transfer DQ through the Heat Capacity C: ...
