A | B |
heat flow rate | how much energy moves per unit time |
BTU stands for | British Thermal Unit |
QH | Formula symbol for heat flow |
Q | Formula symbol for heat energy |
k | formula symbol for thermal conductivity constant |
A | formula symbol for area |
Delta T | formula symbol for temperature difference |
l | formula symbol for uniform thickness of the substance |
calorie | amount of heat energy required to raise 1 gram water by 1 degree C |
BTU definition | amount of heat energy required to raise 1 lb. water by 1 degree F |
Q = m X C X delta T | Formula for heat transfer |
QH = Q/t | Formula for heat-flow rate |
C | formula symbol for specific heat |
specific heat | how many heat energy units is required to raise 1 gram of substance by 1 degree C |
heat capacity | amount of heat energy required to rase temp of mass by one degree |
sensible heat | heat applied and temp change occurs |
latent heat | heat applied and no temp change occurs |
when latent heat occurs | state change is taking place |
Transfer of energy continues until | equilibrium occurs |
