DSC is a measurement technique commonly used for the determination of specific heat capacity because of its ease of use, short measurement times and because it provides adequate accuracy. The specific ...

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, ...

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 ...

When a mass of material adsorbs heat energy its temperature increases. The temperature rise DT is related to the heat transfer DQ through the Heat Capacity C: ...

Quite some years ago I examined how, if we know the specific heat capacity of a particular thing, we can make an estimate of the time constant of that particular thing undergoing a thermal excursion ...
