Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
The low specific heat capacity of air causes it to?
absorb or release small amounts of heat, changing its temperature dramatically.
What is the purpose of the damper on forced hot water baseboard units?
The damper controls the air flow across the fin-tube. Depending on the heat-exchanging capacity of the tube, which is affected by things like system capacity, pipe size and condition, throttling valves, pump condition, etc., a damper more closed should exchange less heat into the space and a damper more open should exchange more heat into the space.
Which have lowest specific heat capacity?
They will be the same because the molecular structure of the tea is the same as the molecular structure of water. The added tea to water does not affect the molecular structure of water.
What is the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of a substances 1 c?
It will need to state what substance to be heated. Water had heat capacity of 4.18 kJ/kg.C and require 4.18 kJ of energy to heat up. Air had approximately 1.12 kJ/kg.C of heat capacity and require 1.12 kJ of energy to heat 1 kg of air up 1 C.
What is the specific heat of air in imperial units?
Specific heat of air is 0.24 BTU/lb/degree F
How do you assess airconditioning capacity?
Air conditioning capacity is typically measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units) It correspond to the amount of heat it is capable of removing. The higher the BTU rating, the more powerful the air conditioner.
Specific heat capacity of air?
1000 J /kg-K
How much heat can a central air conditioner remove?
It`s rated capacity in sensible and latent heat.
Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
What does the high specific heat of water have to do with the convection currents in the air at the seashore?
Water'specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C . This high specific heat capacity suggests that the water will travel long distances without losing heat . This makes the convection currents in the air last longer.
The low specific heat capacity of air causes it to?
absorb or release small amounts of heat, changing its temperature dramatically.
Is there a maximum capacity of data that can flow through the air from cellphone towers?
There is not a maximum capacity of data that can flow through the air from cell phone towers. The transmission units on the cell phone towers can be limited but the air does not have any limits.
Why does water not heat up or cool as quickly as air?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
Earths air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
Which has greater heat capacity water or air?
Air has a higher shc. More heat would be required to raise the temperature of air than water since it is a poorer conducter of heat :-) hope that helped. ------------------------------ Correction: Values for specific heat capacity Cp Air: 1.0035 J/(g*K) Water: 4.1813 J/(g*K) Therefore water has the higher specific heat capacity. Gases usually have low heat capacities since not much more energy is required to increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules by the same amount as would be for a liquid.
What is the purpose of the damper on forced hot water baseboard units?
The damper controls the air flow across the fin-tube. Depending on the heat-exchanging capacity of the tube, which is affected by things like system capacity, pipe size and condition, throttling valves, pump condition, etc., a damper more closed should exchange less heat into the space and a damper more open should exchange more heat into the space.
