1 kg water
Thermal (heat) capacity
1 kg water 1 kg aluminium
Thermal (heat) capacity
1 kg water 1 kg aluminium
Water must be
supplied with
nearly five times
as much energy as
1 kg water aluminium for the 1 kg aluminium
same rise in
temperature.
Water has a
particularly high
SHC, making it
Substance SHC (J / kg oC) very useful for
storing heat
Water 4181 energy, and for
transporting it, eg.
Oxygen 918 in central heating
Lead 128
Thermal (heat) capacity
Energy transferred = m c ΔT
= 2 x 4181 x 10
= 83,620 J = 83.62 kJ
Thermal (heat) capacity
So what’s
this ‘thermal
capacity’ bit?
Thermal (heat) capacity
So what’s
this ‘thermal
Thermal capacity = mass x SHC capacity’ bit?
Thermal (heat) capacity
So what’s
this ‘thermal
Thermal capacity = mass x SHC capacity’ bit?
= 12,543 J/oC
Thermal (heat) capacity
So what’s
this ‘thermal
Thermal capacity = mass x SHC capacity’ bit?
