What is the specific heat of air in imperial units?
Specific heat of air is 0.24 BTU/lb/degree F
What is the dimensional formula of energy?
the formula to find specific heat is specific heat= calories/mass X change in temperature.
200.0 Joules of heat is required to raise the temperature of an object sample by 3.00C If the specific heat of the object is 01490 JgC what is the mass of the sample in kilograms?
Use the equation for specific heat: energy = mass x (temperature difference) x (specific heat). Replace the numbers you know, and solve for mass. Since it seems that the specific heat is specified per gram, you'll initially get the mass per gram. Converting that to kilograms is quite easy.
What are the units of heat?
The Specific Heat Capacity of water is 4,184 Joules per kg per Kelvin
Why does specific heat has the same numerical value in metric and british systems?
Specific heat is dimensionless, and dimensionless units have the same value in any system. Specific heat is the ratio between two densities - that of the substance considered, and that of water. The ratio of two quantities of the same dimension will naturally be a dimensionless number.
What is the specific heat of air in imperial units?
Specific heat of air is 0.24 BTU/lb/degree F
Why is ocean temperature more constant than air temperature?
The specific heat of water is greater than the specific heat of air.
What is the specific heat of 450 Deg C hot air?
The specific heat of air at 450oC as an ideal gas is: 1.081 kJ/(Kg∙K)
Which heats up faster air or soil?
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy it takes to raise the temperature of the substance 1o C. A substance with a high specific heat requires more heat to increase in temperature than a substance with a low specific heat.Air has a specific heat of about 1.005 Kj/Kg/degree C.Most soils are mostly composed of mineral particles, air and water. The specific heat of dry soil is about 0.80 Kj/kg/degree C. However, since the specific heat of water is very high (4.2 Kj/kg/degree C), soils often have a higher specific heat than air, and heat up more slowly than the air.So it ultimately depends on the amount of moisture in the soil. A bone-dry soil can heat up quicker than air, but a wet soil will take longer to heat up than the air.
What is the specific latent heat of fusion of mercury?
The specific heat temperature of mercury is 14 degrees Celsius. Comparably, the specific temperature of water is 417.9 degrees and air is 101 degrees.
Specific heat capacity of air?
1000 J /kg-K
Air expands according to the law pv1.3 a constant inside an enclosed cylinder find its specific heat?
c = specific heat .16902 = air at constant volume (since the cylinder size stays the same) 1.405 = specific heat of air at constant pressure divided by specific heat of air at constant volume *pressure doesn't necessarily stay constant as cylinder could be air compressor so c= 0.16902 (1.3-1.405/1.3-1) c= 0.169024 (-0.105/.3) c= 0.169024 (-0.35) c= -0.059158 or -0.059
What does the high specific heat of water have to do with the convection currents in the air at the seashore?
Water'specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C . This high specific heat capacity suggests that the water will travel long distances without losing heat . This makes the convection currents in the air last longer.
Why does water not heat up or cool as quickly as air?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
The low specific heat capacity of air causes it to?
absorb or release small amounts of heat, changing its temperature dramatically.
What specific name is given to heat rises and cold air descends when it is in the air?
The term for this phenomenon, which occurs in all fluids, is convection.
Why are temperature near the great lakes cooler in the summer than temperatures a few miles away?
The lakes have a high specific heat capacity.Answer:Air passing over the lakes becomes moister from evaporation. This evaporation of water requires heat which is absorbed from the air. As a consequence the air becomes cooler.
