Heat energy Q = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change.

Q = m*c*delta T

Q = Joules

m = kg

c (aluminum) = 895.8 J/kg

delta T = degr.C temp. change

Answer: Q = (20/1000) x 895.8 x 5 = 89.58 Joules

(Specific heat capacity of aluminum is obtained by multiplying its specific heat of 0.214 with c of water which is 4186 J/kg = 0.214 x 4186 = 895.8 J/kg).

How much energy is needed to raise the maximum temperature of 10kg of water from 20 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius?

The energy required to raise the temperature 1 degree Celsius of 1 gram of water (1 mL) is 1 calorie (=4.18 J). So for 1 kg, 1Kcal (= 4180 J = 4.18 KJ) is required. To raise it 60 degrees, just multiply by 60 and for 10 kg multiply by 10 again. That would make 2.508 MJ (= 2508000 J) Now this is not completely accurate. The energy required to raise the temperature of water differs at 20 degrees from that at 60 degrees. The difference is small (~0.05 J or something like that) but still present.


What is the BTU required to raise the temperature of 10 pounds of water from 50 degrees to 70 degrees?

200 BTU. I'm assuming your temperatures are in Fahrenheit, since all of your other measurements are in the Imperial system. A BTU is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound water by 1 degree F, so the temperature is raised by 20 degrees, and 10 pounds of water: 20 x 10 = 200


How much energy is required to raise 160 cfm of air from 10 to 170 degrees f?

The amount of energy that is required to 160 cfm of air from 10 to 170 degrees F is 200 btu. T he formula is weight x specific heat x temperature difference so we have10 pounds x 1.00 x 2010 for 10 pounds of water.


Is temp or heat measured in degrees?

If you want to be pedantic, scientists measure temperature in kelvins, not degrees. Heat is energy and is measured in energy units, like joules.


How much heat energy will be required to lower the temperature of 2.67kg of steam from 282 degrees Celsius to 105 degrees Celsius?

You mean how much heat energy will be lost/transferred as you are losing Joules here. All in steam, so a simple q problem and no change of state. 2.67 kg = 2670 grams q = (2670 grams steam)(2.0 J/gC)(105 C - 282 C) = - 9.45 X 105 Joules ----------------------------------- This much heat energy must be lost to lower the temperature of the steam.

Is a green heating system unable to go beyond 68 degrees?

If you are asking why a green heating system will not go above 68 degrees Fahrenheit then one reason is to save energy. The higher the temperature the more energy required to get to that temperature and the more energy required to keep that temperature.

How many kilowatts are required to raise the temperature of 1000 liters of water by 10 degrees centigrade?

Kilowatts is a unit of energy rate, while the temperature required to raise a specific volume of water by a specific amount of degrees is a unit of energy, not energy rate. The question cannot, therefore, be answered as stated. Please restate the question.


How much energy is required to heat 955 g of water from 20 degrees C to 100 degrees C?

4.1858 joules of energy will raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1oC. Thus, 4.1858 * 955 * 80 = 319795.12 joules of energy is required to raise the temperature of 955 g of water by 1oC.
