Heat capacity temperature dependence

The thermal conductivity plateau has traditionally been considered by most workers as a separate issue from the TLS. In addition to the rapidly growing magnitude of phonon scattering at the plateau, an excess of density of states is observed in the form of the so-called bump in the heat capacity temperature dependence divided by T. The plateau is interesting from several perspectives. For one thing, it is nonuniversal if scaled by the elastic constants (say, co/)... 

The specific heat capacity - temperature dependence for four different types of nickel have been determined and the effects of the method of manufacture, the heat treatment and the chemical composition have been ascertained. The results, together with those obtained by previous investigators were reviewed and an attempt was made to evaluate the most probable C , versus T curve for nickel in the temperature range 100 to 600°C. 

Heat Capacity (or Specific Heat) The temperature dependence of the heat capacity is complex. If the temperature range is restricted, the heat capacity of any phase may be represented adequately by an expression such as ... 

The specific heat is the amount of heat required to change one mole of a substance by one degree in temperature. Therefore, unlike the extensive variable heat capacity, which depends on the quantity of material, specific heat is an intensive variable and has units of energy per number of moles (n) per degree. 

Using these data for water, the molar heat capacity is 18.02 cal/mol K (approximately 75.40 J/mol K). Note that the deviations from this average are all less than 1 percent between the freezing and boiling points. The point being made is that the heat capacity may depend (slightly) on temperature, but is a reasonably stable value making it possible to consider heat capacity as a constant, as it is in this book. 

The Debye temperature for aluminum is 160°C, so that in the temperature range of interest, 200°-600°C, the heat capacity weakly depends on temperature and equals C — l,15kJ/kg K. The absorbed heat dQ increases the sample... 

The heat capacity Cy depends, as we see from (10.1), solely upon the temperature. Equation (10.4) is the total differential of s in the independent variables T and v, so that... 

In Older to increase the speed of heat transfer during in situ combustion, water may be injected into the petroliferous bed simultaneously with the air. In comparison with the air, water possesses greater heat capacity [3]. Depending on the ratio of injected water to air, the so-called wet and superwet variants of in situ combustion can be distinguished. The two processes differ from each other with regard to the temperatures generated in the bed and the extent of thermal zones that develop. 

The simulation of structures using pair potential methods gives important information, including unit cell dimensions, atomic positions and details of atomic motion including lattice vibrations (phonon modes). Further analysis permits the calculation of heat capacities, the dependence of volume with temperature and the prediction of vibrational spectra, such as IR and neutron spectroscopies. Codes that perform such periodic structure energy minimisation using pair potential models include METAPOCS, THBREL and GULP (Table 4.1). All have been used successfully to model framework structures. 

Finally, eight equations and eight unknowns are obtained. The gas and solid heat capacities are dependent on temperature and are normally described by polynomial correlations, and vapor pressures as a function of temperature are normally described by exponential relations. Thus, a system of non-linear equations is obtained, which can be solved by standard root seeking methods such as the Newton-Raphson technique. 

Changes in the heat capacity of the calorimeter were noted, when Ceff was calculated by using the heat balance equation of a simple body, in which it is assumed that the heat capacity C depends neither on time t nor on the geometrical distribution of the heat power source and the location of the temperature sensor it is equal to the sum of the heat capacities of all the parts i of the calorimeter ... 

It follows from the above equations that the effective heat capacity Cejf depends on various parameters the heat capacities of the distinguished domains, the heat transfer coefficients between these domains and the environment, the character of the changes in the heat effects in time and their derivatives with respect to time, the changes in particular temperatures in time and their time derivatives, and also the time interval (Jo, 0) in which the heat effects are evaluated. The effective heat capacity is time-invariant in only a few cases, e.g. when dQi - 0 and i= 1,2 for a system of two interacting domains. 

Defects can be discovered and determined by different experimental methods. By measurement of the electrical conductivity (see to Mixed Conductors, Determination of Electronic and Ionic Conductivity (Transport Numbers)) in dependence on partial pressure and temperature [5, 6] and the heat capacity in dependence on temperature [7], the defect formation could be detected. Hund investigated the defect structure in doped zirconia by measurement of specific density by means of XRD and pycnometric determination [8]. Transference measurements [9] and diffusion experiments with tracers [10-12] or colored ions [4] are suited for verifying defects. 

The application fields are the same as for the heat flow DSC (see above). In addition, this instrument is often used for precise and fast determination of specific heat capacities in dependence on temperature from which the thermodynamic potential functions of the respective substances can be calculated (see Chapter 3). 

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1°K. In general form, dq = cdf, where c = specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity is dependent on temperature. It is useful to express it as a polynomial with respect to temperature. 

Equation (2.2-1) does not indicate that C is a derivative of q with respect to T. We will see that dq is an inexact differential so that the heat capacity C depends on the way in which the temperature of the system is changed. If the temperature is changed at constant pressure, the heat capacity is denoted by Cp and is called the heat capacity at constant pressure. If the temperature is changed at constant volume, the heat capacity is denoted by Cy and is called the heat capacity at constant volume. These two heat capacities are not generally equal to each other. 

The important thing to notice about the Debye function is that for a given substance, the lattice heat capacity is dependent only on a mathematical function of the ratio of the absolute temperature to the characteristic Debye temperature. This mathematical function applies for all materials, with 0 varying from material to material. Selected values of 9 are given in Table 3.3. 

The glass-transition temperature, T, of dry polyester is approximately 70°C and is slightly reduced ia water. The glass-transitioa temperatures of copolyesters are affected by both the amouat and chemical nature of the comonomer (32,47). Other thermal properties, including heat capacity and thermal conductivity, depend on the state of the polymer and are summarized ia Table 2. 

Its value at 25°C is 0.71 J/(g-°C) (0.17 cal/(g-°C)) (95,147). Discontinuities in the temperature dependence of the heat capacity have been attributed to stmctural changes, eg, crystaUi2ation and annealing effects, in the glass. The heat capacity varies weakly with OH content. Increasing the OH level from 0.0003 to 0.12 wt % reduces the heat capacity by approximately 0.5% at 300 K and by 1.6% at 700 K (148). The low temperature (<10 K) heat capacities of vitreous siUca tend to be higher than the values predicted by the Debye model (149). 

Evaluation of the integrals requires an empirical expression for the temperature dependence of the ideal gas heat capacity, (3p (8). The residual Gibbs energy is related to and by equation 138 ... 

The temperature dependence of the open circuit voltage has been accurately determined (22) from heat capacity measurements (23). The temperature coefficients are given in Table 2. The accuracy of these temperature coefficients does not depend on the accuracy of the open circuit voltages at 25°C shown in Table 1. Using the data in Tables 1 and 2, the open circuit voltage can be calculated from 0 to 60°C at concentrations of sulfuric acid from 0.1 to 13.877 m. 

Hea.t Ca.pa.cities. The heat capacities of real gases are functions of temperature and pressure, and this functionaHty must be known to calculate other thermodynamic properties such as internal energy and enthalpy. The heat capacity in the ideal-gas state is different for each gas. Constant pressure heat capacities, (U, for the ideal-gas state are independent of pressure and depend only on temperature. An accurate temperature correlation is often an empirical equation of the form ...
