Specific Heat Capacity: - Calculating the temperature change of a substance when energy is added or removed - Determining the specific heat capacity of a substance
Latent Heat: - Calculating the energy required to change the phase of a substance (e.g., melting, freezing, boiling, condensing) - Determining the latent heat of fusion or vaporization
Heat Transfer: - Calculating the heat flow rate through a material - Determining the thermal conductivity of a material - Applying Newton's law of cooling
Thermodynamics: - First Law of Thermodynamics: Calculating heat transfer, work done, and internal energy changes - Second Law of Thermodynamics: Determining the direction and efficiency of energy transformations - Entropy: Calculating the entropy change of a system
Other Possible Calculations: - Specific Heat Capacity Calculations: - Q = mc∆T - ∆T = Q/(mc) - m = Q/(c∆T) - Latent Heat Calculations: - Q = mL - L = Q/m - m = Q/L - Heat Transfer Calculations: - Q = kA∆x(T1 - T2)/L - k = QLAx(T1 - T2)/∆t - A = QLAx(T1 - T2)/k∆t - Thermodynamic Calculations: - ∆U = Q - W - S = Q/T - ∆A = ∆Q - T∆S
