Cooling Drinks 1) What is the specific latent heat of fusion of water? Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance when changing states. This could be boiling or melting. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to melt a substance‚ while latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of energy needed to boil a substance. The specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334 j/g In the graph‚ you can see that as the temperature increases more

Newton’s Law of Cooling The main purpose of this experiment was to find the positive constant “K” for different liquids in the Newton’s Law of Cooling equation‚ in order to determine when it was safe to store food products in commercial restaurant after cooking. The high risk temperature for bacteria growth is between 5 and 60 degrees. However putting hot food into your fridge before this point can cause food poisoning especially in deep containers‚ which is why it is vital that food companies

MECH 8250 – Building Systems Module 1 - Heating Load Calculations Module 1 Heating Load Calculations The amount of heat is required for the building heating system to maintain a balance of the building heat loss. The amount of heat and moisture are gained from the building internal and external heat sources that is required to be removed by the building cooling system. Both heating and cooling loads form the basis in designing the HVAC systems for the building and occupied spaces to achieve both

COOLING TECHNIQUES IN TRANSMITTER Introduction In modern A.M. transmitters power valves are used in the PA and modulator stages‚ which are condensed vapour cooled ceramic tetrodes. In the old generation transmittes‚ triodes are used in the PA‚ modulator and exciter stages. Both the tetrodes and triodes tubes are capable of being operated at high voltages (11 kV DC) and large anode current of the order of 50 Amps. They also draw large filament current of about 620 Anps at 24 volt CQK-350

Cooling towers are a very important part of many chemical plants. They represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing low grade heat from cooling water. The make-up water source is used to replenish water lost to evaporation. Hot water from heat exchangers is sent to the cooling tower. The water exits the cooling tower and is sent back to the exchangers or to other units for further cooling. [pic] Types of Cooling Towers |[pic]

in that part of Iceland‚ and was the base for a large fishing fleet that produces a significant part of Iceland’s GNP. As the lava threatened to overrun the town and close off the harbor‚ a decision was made to try to slow and divert the lava by cooling it with sea water. The idea was initially scoffed at‚ but when small initial efforts seemed to have an effect the scale of the operation was increased. Over seven months eight million cubic yards of sea water were pumped onto the lava flow; they cooled
