Conservation of Energy and Heat Problems (Beginning Thermodynamics) To take a break from studying physics, you rent the video of the movie version of the book Fahrenheit 451 , which stared Oscar Werner. The setting (in England) is an Orwellian society where books are banned and all information is disseminated by a large TV screen in each home. Fire departments respond not to put out fires, but to burn books, which combust at a temperature of 451 oF (hence the name of the film). In the middle of the film, your mind wanders. You imagine the fire department using the burning books to heat 600 cm3 of water for their afternoon tea. You imagine that the burner transfers 80% of the heat from the burning books to the water, which you remember has a heat capacity of 1.0 calorie/g oC. How much will the water temperature rise from burning one copy of the 500-page book Fahrenheit 451 if the heat of combustion is 1.0 calorie per page?

Energy transfer by conduction convection and radiation Heat energy can be moved from place to place by three processes: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction of heat energy takes place mainly in solids. You do not currently have javascript enabled on your machine. We are therefore unable to detect if you have flash installed. Please enable javascript and try again. We can explain the transfer of heat energy through a solid by thinking of the heat from the source as causing the atoms of the solid to vibrate and gain kinetic energy. These atoms cause neighbouring atoms to vibrate. Kinetic energy is transferred from one atom to the next. Heat energy is conducted through the solid in this way. As the atoms of the solid gain kinetic energy the temperature of the solid increases. In liquids and gases (fluids) heat energy is transferred mainly by a process called convection.

Previous News for February 2001 Next Heat leaves atom clusters cold 15 February 2001 When a system gains energy, its temperature rises - or so we are taught. But about a decade ago it was predicted that, on very small scales, some materials could get colder when they receive energy. Hellmut Haberland and co-workers from the University of Freiburg in Germany have now observed this negative heat capacity for the first time in clusters of sodium atoms (M Schmidt et al Phys. Rev. Lett. Haberland's team used a laser technique known as photofragmentation to measure the internal energy of the clusters at different temperatures. Photons deliver energy to the clusters - each containing 147 sodium atoms - prompting atoms to evaporate. The researchers determined how much energy the clusters absorbed from the number of atoms ejected. This yields the energy-temperature profile of the clusters from which the researchers calculated their heat capacity. They found that, around the melting point of the clusters, the temperature fell as the energy increased - in other words, the heat capacity was negative. This phenomenon is expected to exist in many small clusters of atoms. Haberland's team chose sodium atoms because their electronic structure is simple and well understood. We are familiar with how large quantities of solids melt. When we warm an ice cube, for example, the kinetic energy or heat is converted continuously into the potential energy needed to break down the crystalline structure. This is the latent heat that increases the entropy of the system without raising the temperature. The amount of solid in the ice cube decreases evenly as it melts. In bulk quantities of ice, only a minuscule fraction - around 10

THE PHYSICS OF HEAT PROCESSING Knowledge of Heat Transfer Promotes Efficient Use of Energy When heat is exchanged between matter, or parts of the same matter, it is called heat transfer . Heat transfer always occurs from warm to cool. Heat is generally transferred by one, or a combination, of three processes: CONDUCTION CONVECTION RADIATION CONDUCTION If heat is applied directly to one part of a solid object, the electrons become excited. This causes molecular collisions which travel along the object, heating as it passes through. This transfer of heat within a solid is known as conduction This ability to transfer heat within an object is called thermal conductivity . It varies for different materials. Gold, silver and copper have high thermal conductivity. These materials are also good conductors of electricity. Other materials, such as glass and mineral wool, have low thermal conductivity. This quality makes them good insulators CONVECTION Conduction between objects, where one is a gas or liquid, is called convection . As gasses or liquids are heated, the excited molecules achieve a fluid motion. Where gravity is a factor, such as here on earth, the natural fluid motion moves the heated, less dense molecules up and the cooler, more compact molecules down. This is why heating vents are located along the floor, while air-conditioning outlets are located near the ceiling.

All results 5 results 10 results 20 results 30 results 50 results Radiant Barriers The Physics of Foil Click Here - For pricing on radiant barrier material! Heat Gain and Loss in Buildings There are three modes of heat transfer: Conduction Convection and Radiation (INFRA-RED). Of the three, radiation is the primary mode; conduction and convection are secondary and come into play only as matter interrupts or interferes with radiant heat transfer. As the matter absorbs radiant energy, it is heated, develops a difference in temperature, and results in molecular motion (conduction in solids) or mass motion (convection in liquids and gas). All substances, including air spaces, building materials, such as wood, glass and plaster, and insulation, obey the same laws of nature, and transfer heat. Solid materials differ only in the rate of heat transfer which is mainly affected by differences in: density, weight, shape, permeability and molecular structure, Materials which transfer heat slowly can be said to resist heat flow. R values are a measure of material's resistance to conductive heat flow. Radiant barriers do not resist heat, they reflects heat. When installed properly, it reduces thermal conductance

NOVA program that covers this subject in some detail. It is a biography of Edison titled "The Wizard Who Spat on the Floor (1980). PBS reruns it occasionally, and is well worth watching. The crux of the issue between Edison and Westinghouse was whether AC or DC power would eventually become the dominant technology. General Electric Company George Westinghouse was a comparative newcomer to the electric power industry. However, he was a substantial businessman and inventor. He had made a great deal of money on inventions associated with the operation of railroads, and had founded the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, founded in 1869, and the Union Switch and Signal Company, in 1881. In 1886, he and several investors founded Westinghouse Electric in order to compete directly with Edison.

downloads Heat storage and phase change materials Effective utilization of time-dependent energy resources relies on appropriate energy storage methods to reduce the time and rate mismatch between supply and demand. Thermal energy storages provide a high degree of flexibility since a variety of energy technologies such as solar heat, biofuel, heat pumps and (cheap) night-time electricity can be applied, either combined or separately. Solar energy applications require a large energy storage capacity in order to cover a minimum of 1-2 days demand. This is commonly achieved by sensible heat storage in large water tanks. An alternative is offered by latent heat storage systems, where thermal energy is stored as latent heat in substances undergoing a phase transition, e.g. heat of fusion in the solid-liquid transition. Such substances are referred to as phase change materials (PCMs). The main advantages of latent heat storage systems are high energy storage capacities compared to sensible heat systems (Fig. 1), and a small temperature-range of operation. The energy group is, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Chemical Co., investigating the performance of the STL latent heat storage system in combination with storage tanks developed for solar energy utilization. The STL system consists of salts and hydrates contained in plastic capsules (Fig. 2), where the thermal energy is stored during hydration of the thermally dehydrated salt. Different phase change materials of a wide range of storage temperatures are suitable for various applications such as domestic hot water, space heating and cooling.
