Heating Flashcards
3 States of Matter
Solid, Liquid, Vapor.
Sensible Heat
Is the amount of heat added to or removed from a substance causing a change in temperature measurable by thermometer.
Latent Heat
Is the amount of heat added to or removed from a substance causing a change in state, but not a change in temperature.
Specific Heat
Is the amount of heat added to or removed from a substance changing the temperature of the substance 1 degree F.
Water Specific Heats are
Ice (Solid) =.5 btu
Water (Solid) = 1 Btu
Steam Vapor = .5 btu
Heat of melting
Is the amount of latent heat added to a solid to cause the change of state to liquid
Heat of fusion
Is the amount of latent heat removed from a liquid causing a change of state to a solid.
Heat of vaporization
Is the amount of latent heat removed from a vapor causing a change of state to a vapor.
Sub-cooled liquid
Is a liquid cold below its saturated condition, and when sub cooled there is only liquid present
Super heated Vapor
A vapor heated above it’s saturated condition. When in a superheated condition there is only vapor present.
Saturated condition
This exists whenever liquid and vapor are present in the Sam container under the conditions. Since liquid and vapor must be present, saturated conditions only exists when vaporization or condensation is occurring.
Btu = British thermal unit
Is the amount of energy required to heat or cool one pound of water.
What is the Specific Heat of Air
.24 BTU
Enthalpy
Definition
Heat is in everything until:
Absolute 0 or (-460 degrees below 0 F) (-273 degrees below 0 C)
Fusion or melting
The process of braking away from other and changing from solid to liquid
The heat required to break up mutual attraction of the molecules so that the material changes from a solid to a liquid is
Latent heat of melting or latent heat of fusion
____________ heat of a solid is the heat that is added or removed to change the temperature of a solid.
Sensible
Molecules in a solid are help together by
Cohesion
Some molecules near the surface can brake away form a solid and become vapor. This is
Sublimation
Solid to a vapor
Changing from a liquid to a vapor
Boiling
Change for a liquid to a vapor
Evaporation
Temp. Oxygen changes states
Liquid -297 Solid -361
Vapor to water
Sensible heat of vapor is removed to 212 F.(still a vapor)
970 btu are removed to change to water. (Still 212 F)
Sensible heat is removed to make the water 32F. (Still water)
