specific heat capacity of a substance? It is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of a body by one Kelvin unit, expressed as J/K/g. The specific heat capacity also can be measured in J/K/Kg and J/K/mol. Substance Specific heat Capacity (J/K/g) Water 4.18 acetone 2.17 hexane 2.26 Compare the specific heat capacity of water with a range of other solvents. The table compares the heat capacities of water and two other solvents. Compare the specific heat capacity…

life. Whether they know or not, everyone is constantly using some form of energy. Everything from walking, eating, and sleeping are all utilizing energy in different ways. Even applying ice to keep a glass of water cold is exerting a form of energy (“Heat Transfer”). Just like everything else, even ice releases a form of energy when put in water. This type of energy is a mix of convection and conduction. Convection is when thermal energy is transferred from one hot…

1.0) The Ellingham Diagram 1.1) Introduction The Gibbs free energy (∆G) of a reaction is defined as the measure of the thermodynamic force that drives a reaction to occur. When ∆G is positive, it indicates that a reaction will not occur spontaneously while when ∆G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is given by : ∆G = ∆H –T∆S ∆H refers to the enthalpy and is a measure of the actual energy that is released when the reaction occurs. A negative…

The Mpemba Effect The Mpemba effect is a rather unusual physical phenomenon where hot water freezes faster than cold water, under certain conditions. Intuitively, this doesn’t make any sense. How could water of higher temperature reach freezing temperature quicker than water of colder temperature? Water freezes when it’s molecules lose energy and slow down enough to stick together, forming ice. The molecules of water of high temperature have more energy the molecules in the colder water. So,…

sauna is a small room which is used to either get dry or wet heat sessions. These heat sessions can have great benefits on different aspects of your health. We will discuss here about some of the advantages gained from spending time in the heat. There are multiple benefits such as increasing endurance and improving muscles. First of all, it is important to understand that it is not easy to enjoy the benefits of a sauna. It produces serious heat and most people are not able to withstand it…

simplicity; where accurate and deep meanings have been considered which will also been elaborated in future sections. Briefly, the four Elements include the following components: Fire Air Water Soil a) Fire: comes with Heat and Dryness. It is the lightest of all Elements b) Air: comes with Heat and Moisture. It is heavier than fire, but lighter than water. c) Water: comes with Coldness and Moisture. It is heavier than Air, but lighter than Soil. d) Soil: comes with Coldness and Dryness. It is…

gear assy. Parts, rear axle assy. Parts and engine etc) are brought in the logistics area. These parts are given by different vendors set by the company. • Metal sheets from which main frames, rear frames, boomers/dippers are to be welded are moved to the fabricated shop. • Engines are moved to skid sub assembly line and the gears & rear-axle parts are moved to transmission line. Fabrication shop: • In fabrication…

The experiment of fluidization in packed column was determined by using air as the conveying media. The fluidized bed is when the air make the solid to behave like a fluid. For this experiment, two columns are use which one column are filled with sand and the other one filled with aluminum oxide. The bed height of aluminum oxide is 100 mm and have a particle size about 250 micron (mesh 60). The minimum fluidization velocity is used to determine the pressure drop. As mentioned above, when the…

Omar Lab 1 Cover letter Dear Dr. …………., This experiment aims at determining carbon (IV) dioxide bubble and dew points as a single component by the use of PVT stimulator at four distinctive temperatures. Besides, it determines the increasing of pressure effect on the carbon (IV) dioxide two-phase envelope. The starting pressure was set at two thousand psi with a (±0.1 psi precision. The beginning volume for carbon (IV) dioxide gas was set at zero while the liquid carbon (IV) dioxide at 14.7 cc…

If your AC starts blowing hot air it may be due to the fact that it is freezing up. The coil is an important part of cooling your house up. The coils works by taking the warm air from your home and releasing them outside. If the coils in your AC unit become too cold they can freeze up. When your coils are frozen the ice can cause blockages, this results in you AC unit to run without cooling the home, whilst using a lot more electricity than usual. Why Do the Coils Continually Freeze Up? One…
