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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

An electric heater supplies 13500 joules of heat energy to a metal block of mass \(0.5kg\). The temperature of the block rises from \(20^{\circ}C\) to \(80^{\circ}C\) during the heating process.

The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of thermal energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1°C. Different substances have different specific heat ...
