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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

You may be familiar with the formula BTUH = CFM x ΔT x 1.08. This same formula is often rearranged to use for determining airflow by measuring the heat input and temperature rise. The factor 3.41 ...
