The coolant in a chemical or a nuclear plant (i.e., the liquid used to prevent the different parts of a plant from getting too hot) should have high specific heat.
State the impact of global warming on life on the earth.
The specific heat capacity of a body depends on _____________ .
Indian style of cooling drinking water is to keep it in a pitcher having porous walls. Water comes to the outer surface very slowly and evaporates. Most of energy needed for evaporation is taken from the water itself and the water is cooled down. Assume that a pitcher contains 10 kg of water and 0.2 g of water comes out per second. Assuming no backward heat transfer from the atmosphere to the water, calculate the time in which the temperature decrease by 5°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg−1 °C−1 and latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.27 × 106 J kg−1.
What are other units of heat? Name and define them.
63.2 g of copper at 50°C can just melt 3.8g of ice. If the specific latent heat of ice is 336 J/g, find the specific heat capacity of copper.
From the options given below the specific heat of _______ is maximum.
What is specific heat capacity?
Conductors have generally high specific heat capacities and insulators have low specific heat capacities.
