When substances are heated, they gain heat energy. The atoms and molecules of substances gain kinetic energy and their speed increases. The average kinetic energy of these particles is proportional to ...

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 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 ...

To develop a generalized correlation for natural gas heat capacity, the author conducted an extensive investigation of heat capacity as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition. To develop ...
