Best Answer

One needs to know the specific heat of concrete in order to answer this.

q = mC∆T

we know q = 52800 joules and the ∆T is 5 degrees. We do not know m (mass) or C (specific heat), so there are 2 unknowns.

Heat Energy in joule = mass x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

mass = 5 kg

rise = 10 K

You need specific heat capacity of concrete. Better search from data book or just Google.

What property of a material tells you how much energy it can store?

Specific heat capacity tells you how much stuff energy can store. specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degrees celsius. water has a specific heat capacity of 4200 J/kg degrees celsius.


Why doesn't the temperature change fast during a phase change?

Basically because there is energy needed for the temperature to rise or become lower, but energy is also needed to change the phase, so instead of the energy being used to change the temperature, it is being used to change the phase, therefore temperature does not change.

How much energy is needed for a heat pump defrost cycle?

About 10% during the outdoor temperature from about 40 degrees to 20 degrees. Not a lot beyond those temperatures that make frost on the outdoor coil...assuming you have a unit with a good electronic defrost control.
