Heal of fusion

Calorimeters of Historical and Special Interest Around 1760 Black realized that heat applied to melting ice facilitates the transition from the solid to the liquid stale at a constant temperature. For the first time, the distinction between the concepts of temperature and heat was made. The mass of ice that melted, multiplied by the heal of fusion, gives the quantity of heal. Others, including Bunsen, Lavoisier, and Laplace, devised calorimeters based upon this principle involving a phase transition. The heat capacity of solids and liquids, as well as combustion heats and the production of heat by animals were measured with these caloritnelers.

DSC finds many applications in characterizing materials. Quantitative applications include the determination of heals of fusion and the extent of crystallization for crystalline materials. Glass transition temperatures and melting points arc useful for qualitative classification of materials, although thermal methods cannot be used alone for identification. Melting points are also very useful in establishing the purity of various preparations. Hence, Ihcrmal methods are often used in quality control applications.

Those heal effects can be easily calculated when the enthalpies of formation and the enthalpy-temperature relations are available for the substances considered. Usually, the heat of reaction is defined as the heat evolved by the process, and it is equal to the enthalpy change but opposite in sign, while heats of fusion or vaporization always refer to ihe heat adsorbed, and for heals of solution the usage varies. In order to avoid any confusion, it is recommended to express heat effects of chemical process by reporting the enthalpy change. AH. 

A hollow spherical iron container with outer diameter 20 cm and thickness 0.4 cm is filled with iced water at 0 C. O the outer surface teinperature is S C, determine the approximate rate of heal loss from the sphere, in kW, and the rate at which ice melts in the container. The heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg. 

An 8-m-iDtemal-diameter spherical lank made of 1.5-cm-thick stainless steel (Ir = 15 W/m °C) is used to store iced water at 0°C. The tank is located in a room whose temperature is 25°C. The walls of the room are also at 25 C. The outer surface of the tank is black (emissivity e = 1), and heat transfer between the outer surface of the tank and the surroundings is by natural convection and radiation. The convection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and the outer sui faces of the tank arc 80 W/m. C and 10 W/m - C, respectively. Detecmine (a) the rale of heal transfer lo the iced water in (he tank and (b) the amount of ice at 0°C that melts during a 24-h period.

The calibration coefficient. K. is determined by use of compounds having known heats of transition. Most of the standards used involve the heat of fusion. A Hj. or a solid, - sol id 2 heat of transition. The standards, obviously, must meet certain qualifications such as chemical stability during ihe transition, low vapor pressure so the hcai of vaporization does not contribute to the heal effect, and so on. 

The results of the thermal analysis that was carried out by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are presented in Table 3. Overall, there were increased effect of both the content of the CaCOs filler and its healing on the melting temperature (T ) and the crystallization temperature (Tc). However, a decrease in the energy required for the fusion of the crystalline parts was noted when the content of the filler in the composite increased. The melting enthalpy and crystallinity % (Xc) of the CaCCb containing composites with DAP (0.06 %wt.) were a little higher than the compwsites without DAP. Yet, the values of heat of fusion remain lower than that of homopolymer PP or LDPE. It can therefore be noted that the filler alters the crystalline phase of the pwlymer.

In recent years, proprietary catalysts lor advancement have been incorporated in precatalyzed liquid resins. Thus only the addition of bisphenol A is needed to produce solid epoxy resins. Use of the catalysis is claimed to provide resins free from branching which can occur in conventional fusion processes. Additionally, use of the catalysts results in rapid chain-extension reactions because of the high amount of heal generated in the processing. 

Modem installations often impose furnace conditions so severe that refractories other than lire-clay are needed. High aluminum and silicon carbide refractories are typical of tlie.se. The heal conductivities of the super-refractories are larger than those of lire-clay brick, and such construction should be backed up with high temperature insulation. Silicon carbide blocks are the most refractory and have the quality of resisting clinker adhesion heitcr than ordinary fire-brick. Their fusion temperature is about 4000 F (2204 C)...
