Temperature effects heat capacity

Other parameters of the simulation are specified in subroutine SPECS. The quantity solcon is the solar constant, available here for tuning within observational limits of uncertainty. The quantity diffc is the heat transport coefficient, a freely tunable parameter. The quantity odhc is the depth in the ocean to which the seasonal temperature variation penetrates. In this annual average simulation, it simply controls how rapidly the temperature relaxes into a steady-state value. In the seasonal calculations carried out later in this chapter it controls the amplitude of the seasonal oscillation of temperature. The quantity hcrat is the amount by which ocean heat capacity is divided to get the much smaller effective heat capacity of the land. The quantity hcconst converts the heat exchange depth of the ocean into the appropriate units for calculations in terms of watts per square meter. The quantity secpy is the number of seconds in a year. 

The following, well-acceptable assumptions are applied in the presented models of automobile exhaust gas converters Ideal gas behavior and constant pressure are considered (system open to ambient atmosphere, very low pressure drop). Relatively low concentration of key reactants enables to approximate diffusion processes by the Fick s law and to assume negligible change in the number of moles caused by the reactions. Axial dispersion and heat conduction effects in the flowing gas can be neglected due to short residence times ( 0.1 s). The description of heat and mass transfer between bulk of flowing gas and catalytic washcoat is approximated by distributed transfer coefficients, calculated from suitable correlations (cf. Section III.C). All physical properties of gas (cp, p, p, X, Z>k) and solid phase heat capacity are evaluated in dependence on temperature. Effective heat conductivity, density and heat capacity are used for the entire solid phase, which consists of catalytic washcoat layer and monolith substrate (wall). 

The large effective heat capacity of the liquid-solid slurry absorbent enables relatively small slurry flows to absorb the carbon dioxide heat of condensation with only modest absorber temperature rise. This contrasts with other acid gas removal processes in which solvent flows to the carbon dioxide absorber are considerably larger than flows determined by vapor-liquid equilibrium constraints. Large flows are required to provide sensible heat capacity for the large absorber heat effects. Small slurry absorbent flows permit smaller tower diameters because allowable vapor velocities generally increase with reduced liquid loading (8). 

It is clear that temperature oscillations during heating-cooling cycles depend on the fixed-bed heat capacity. Figure 1.10 shows a simplified picture of the effect of phase change on the effective heat capacity of pure substances. Considerable amounts of... 

Figure 3.21 Effect of total heat capacity differences between sample and reference on baseline position in a DTA/DSC trace. See text for discussion. In addition, this sketch of glass crystallization shows the baseline shifted in the exothermic direction after crystallization In the same region of temperature, the heat capacity of a crystal is less than the corresponding glass above Tg (see sections 3.7.2 and 7.6).

Effects of change in temperature on heat capacity and heats of vaporization are negligible. Heat losses from the column are negligible. Effects of pressure drop over the column may be neglected.

CeAl3 is a very interesting case where the superposition of the Kondo effect on crystal field interaction gives rise to anomalous heat capacity (7(5) and resistivity behavior (46, 77, 78) at low temperatures. The heat capacity measurements of Mahoney (75) showed that the full entropy of R In 6 was recovered under the excess... 

Polgar et al. [72POL/HER] measured the specific heat of NiCl2-2H20(cr) for temperatures between 1.2 and 24.5 K. Peaks were observed at 6.31 and 7.26 K, and at lower temperatures the heat capacity values are not a simple function of T. The authors estimated that the contribution to the molar entropy between 0 and 1.2 K is 0.03 R. Using an adiabatic calorimeter, Juraitis et al [90JUR/DOM] measured the heat capacity of the solid between 80 and 281 K, with emphasis on the effects of the structural transition near 220 K. It is not clear from these results (only reported graphically) whether the results from 250 to 281 K can be extrapolated smoothly to 298.15 K. 

The most direct effect of defects on the properties of a material usually derive from the altered ionic conductivity and diffusion properties. So-called superionic conductors are materials which have an ionic conductivity comparable to that of molten salts. This high conductivity is due to the presence of defects, which can be introduced thermally or via the presence of impurities. Diffusion affects important processes such as corrosion and catalysis. The specific heat capacity is also affected near the melting temperature the heat capacity of a defective material is higher than for the equivalent ideal crystal. This reflects the fact that the creation of defects is enthalpically unfavourable but is more than compensated for by the increase in entropy, so leading to an overall decrease in the free energy. 

In the numerator ps is the substrate density (kgm ), e is the void fraction within the bed, Xm is the maximum biomass concentration (kg-biomass kg-substrate" ) and Y is the heat yield coefficient (J kg-biomass )- The factor 0.25 Xjh arises from the assumed growth kinetics, for which the maximum heat production rate occurs at 0.5X , with a specific growth rate of O.Sp p, [142]. The denominator describes axial convection and evaporation, which are the major contributors to heat removal. If the air is assumed to remain saturated as it moves up the column, then the evaporation of water to maintain this saturation increases the effective heat capacity of the air from Cpa(J kg" °C" ) by an additional factor of f A, where A is the heat of vaporization of water (J kg ) and f is the slope of a linear approximation to the humidity curve (kg-water kg-air °C ). The bed height is given by H (m), Vz is the superficial velocity of the air, and T,., and Tqut the inlet and outlet air temperatures.

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. 

Measurement of a time-dependent temperature difference and of the effective heat capacity of the calorimeter. 

The construction principles of such chip calorimeters are similar to those of conventional calorimeters The heater corresponds to the furnace, and the center of the membrane corresponds to the calorimeter system, including the sample container. The thin membrane serves as the thermal path between the heater and the sample with very low thermal resistance and very low effective heat capacity. The thermopile measures the temperature difference between the sample site and the chip frame (surroundings). Because of the much larger lateral dimension of the membrane of at least two orders of magnitude, the heat exchange between the sample and the frame can be neglected. The chip calorimeter can therefore be considered a quasi-adiabatic calorimeter when vacuum is applied. 

Figure 7.5 on the next page shows the temperature dependence of for several substances. The discontinuities seen at certain temperatures occur at equilibrium phase transitions. At these temperatures the heat capacity is in effect infinite, since the phase transition of a pure substance involves finite heat with zero temperature change. 

The metal matrix of a regenerator undergoes a cyclic variation in temperature because of its less than infinite heat capacity. Fortunately, however, the temperature excursion of the extreme ends of the matrix is much less than that of the central portion, a fact which minimizes the effect of this temperature variation upon thermodynamic efficiency. At very low temperatures the heat capacity of all metals falls to a negligibly small value and it becomes impractical to utilize thermal regenerators. Regenerators constructed of lead have been found to be useful at temperatures as low as 14°K.
