Specific heat-capacity and

Reactor heat carrier. Also as pointed out in Sec. 2.6, if adiabatic operation is not possible and it is not possible to control temperature by direct heat transfer, then an inert material can be introduced to the reactor to increase its heat capacity flow rate (i.e., product of mass flow rate and specific heat capacity) and to reduce... 

Convective heat transmission occurs within a fluid, and between a fluid and a surface, by virtue of relative movement of the fluid particles (that is, by mass transfer). Heat exchange between fluid particles in mixing and between fluid particles and a surface is by conduction. The overall rate of heat transfer in convection is, however, also dependent on the capacity of the fluid for energy storage and on its resistance to flow in mixing. The fluid properties which characterize convective heat transfer are thus thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity and dynamic viscosity. 

Convection requires a fluid, either liquid or gaseous, which is free to move between the hot and cold bodies. This mode of heat transfer is very complex and depends firstly on whether the flow of fluid is natural , i.e. caused by thermal currents set up in the fluid as it expands, or forced by fans or pumps. Other parameters are the density, specific heat capacity and viscosity of the fluid and the shape of the interacting surface.

It is most important to know in this connection the compressibility of the substances concerned, at various temperatures, and in both the liquid and the crystalline state, with its dependent constants such as change of. melting-point with pressure, and effect of pressure upon solubility. Other important data are the existence of new pol3miorphic forms of substances the effect of pressure upon rigidity and its related elastic moduli the effect of pressure upon diathermancy, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and magnetic susceptibility and the effect of pressure in modif dng equilibrium in homogeneous as well as heterogeneous systems. 

Groundwater has a huge capacity to store heat (4181 J/kg/K). Rocks and minerals have a lesser (around 800 J/kg/K Mellon 2001), but still significant, heat capacity. They also have a certain thermal conductivity and these properties allow them to act as enormous subsurface heat storage and exchange reservoirs. Table 1 provides some examples of specific heat capacities and thermal conductivities. This heat, stored in the geological environment, can be extracted, manipulated and utilized. 

Working With Specific Heat Capacity and Calorimetry... 

The thermal properties (i.e., density, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity) have a particularly strong influence on the curing behavior. The exothermal peak temperature is one example It can differ significantly between a composite mold with low thermal mass and a metal mold [35], A more thorough discussion of pros and cons of different mold materials can be found in Morena [37]. 

Heat capacities, C, are also reported for pure substances, not just for the complicated assembly of substances that makes up a typical calorimeter. For instance, we can report the heat capacity of water or of copper. More heat is needed to raise the temperature of a large sample of a substance by a given amount than is required to raise the temperature of a small sample by the same amount, so heat capacity is an extensive property the larger the sample, the greater its heat capacity (Fig. 6.15). It is therefore common to report either the specific heat capacity (often called just specific heat ), Cs, which is the heat capacity divided by the mass of the sample (Cs = dm), or the molar heat capacity, Cm, the heat capacity divided by the number of moles in the sample (Cm = dn). Specific heat capacities and molar heat capacities are intensive properties.

The above-mentioned method was initially developed for measuring the isobaric heat capacities of aqueous salt solutions up to 573 K and 30 MPa. For a typical run, the sample cell was loaded with the sample solution and the reference cell was loaded with a reference fluid of known heat capacity (usually water). Then, the temperature was increased from to T, at constant pressure, and the difference Q in the transferred heat was corrected taking into account both the cell s volumetric dissymmetry and the differences between the densities and specific heat capacities of the measured sample and reference fluids, respectively. Such an experiment allows the measurement of the product pCp representing the isobaric heat capacity divided by volume. In order to obtain the desired isobaric heat capacity, Cp, of the solution, it was necessary to know its density. For this purpose, the isobaric specific heat capacity and density were represented by polynomials in terms of temperature T ... 

The quantities C and H are extensive, i.e., proportional to the amount of material undergoing the process. We shall use a lowercase symbol to refer to a unit mass. Thus c, Cp, and Cv will denote specific heat capacities and, for a sample of material of mass w,...
