    Heat Detector

    • 3 Pages

    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 | |

    Heat of Neutralization: Lab Report In part A of this lab I determined the heat capacity of a calorimeter made out of two Styrofoam cups nesting together with a cardboard top containing a hole in the middle. First I placed 50 mL of water in the calorimeter‚ waited five minutes for the water to reach equilibrium‚ and used the computer’s temperature instrument to record the final temperature of the system. Next I heated 50 mL of water in a 250 mL beaker until the water reached 43.1 C (approximately

    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

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

    Heat energy Temperature – measure of the average KE of the particles in a substance‚ measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin. Celsius 0⁰C (freezing point of water) to 100⁰C (boiling point of water) Kelvin 0 K (absolute zero‚ particles stop moving theoretically)‚ equivalent to -273.15⁰C. Uses the same scale for increase‚ ie. a 1⁰C increase in temperature equates to a 1K increase in temperature. Heat – amount of energy transferred‚ measured in Joules (J) Kinetic Energy‚ Thermal

    • 4 Pages

    Introduction- Heat is energy that is warm. Heat energy comes from different energy forms or types like electrical. Heat is also natural‚ from the sun. Heat transforms by reflecting on something and giving it warmth. The temperatures on the coloured cans will vary because they absorb different amounts of heat. According to the particle theory when an object heats up the particles spread out and move more. Aim- The aim of this experiment is to test how colour affects the amount of heat being absorbed

    remove creases. It is named for the metal of which the device is commonly made‚ and the use of it is generally called ironing. Ironing works by loosening the ties between the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight of the ironing plate‚ the fibers are stretched and the fabric maintains its new shape when cool. Some materials‚ such as cotton‚ require the use of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds. Many materials developed in the twentieth century
