TEMPERATURE AND HEAT
where
t
is the temperature in degrees Celsius and
T
is the temperature in Kelvin.
where
Q
is the heat required / liberated when a body is of heat capacity
C
changes its temperature by
degrees Celsius without changing its state.
where
Q
is the heat required / liberated when a mass
m
of specific heat capacity
c
changes its temperature by
degrees Celsius.
To find the specific heat of water by the electrical method:
Heat delivered by electrical coil = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter
where
Q
is the heat required / liberated when a mass
m
of specific latent heat
l
changes its state without changing its temperature.
To find the specific latent heat of fusion of ice:
Heat gained by ice in melting and then heating = heat lost by warm water + heat lost by calorimeter
To find the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water:
Heat lost by steam in condensing and then cooling = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter
where
U
is the
U
-value of a structure when heat energy
Q
is conducted in
t
seconds through an area
A
with a temperature difference of
between its ends.
