Physicists in the UK and Russia have revived concepts first put forth in the 1940s to develop a new theory of the heat capacity of liquids. Created by Dima Bolmatov and Kostya Trachenko of Queen Mary, ...

Equal masses of aluminum and lead are heated in boiling water. The metals are then placed in separate beakers containing equal volumes of room temperature water. The temperature change in each amount ...

Heat is a one form of energy that runs from substance having high temperature to a substance with low temperature with respect to a specific matter. Heat is a one form of energy that runs from ...

The use of nanocomposites, which use small-scale particle fillers to enhance the characteristics of thermoplastics and thermosets, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For instance, ...

Studies of water contents of solid β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in crystallized and vacuum dried conditions are reported. Water contents were estimated using Karl–Fischer (KF) titration and ...

An electric heater supplies 13500 joules of heat energy to a metal block of mass \(0.5kg\). The temperature of the block rises from \(20^{\circ}C\) to \(80^{\circ}C\) during the heating process.

Different substances require different amounts of energy to gain temperature. It takes less energy to raise the temperature of a 1 kg block of lead by 1°C, than it does to raise the temperature of 1 ...
