A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element. The thermal mass and conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element. All heat detectors have this thermal lag. Heat detectors have two main classifications of operation‚ "rate-of-rise" and "fixed temperature." |Contents | |

vibrating around‚ the hotter the object feels. We can sidestep this molecular picture by dealing with objects as a whole‚ and treating the energy transfer as the flow of heat‚ rather than kinetic energy transfer among particles. |Specific Heat for Various Materials | |Material |Specific Heat | | |(J/kg C°) | |Water |4186 | |Aluminum |900
Premium Heat Temperature Thermodynamics
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation‚ use‚ conversion‚ and exchange of thermal energy and heat between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms‚ such as thermal conduction‚ thermal convection‚ thermal radiation‚ and transfer of energy by phase changes. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species‚ either cold or hot‚ to achieve heat transfer. While these mechanisms have distinct characteristics

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place
