What is the study of conversion of heat to mechanics?
Thermodynamics
What is the study of heat changes in a chemical reaction?
The study of heat is called thermodynamics.
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
Whose work on heat engines lead to the formulation of the second law of thermodynamics?
Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot wrote possibly the first text on the scientific analysis of heat engines. He is sometimes referred to as "the father of thermodynamics" for his work on this topic.
What branch of science does thermodynamic fall under?
Thermodynamics is science that deals with chemical or physical changes due to heat or heat variations.
What is the study of conversion of heat to mechanics?
Thermodynamics
Which law of thermodynamics applies to percent of harvested energy?
The 2nd law of thermodynamics can yield predictions on the maximum efficiency of a process that seeks to extract useful energy. An example would be the Carnot cycle which gives the maximum percent of energy that can be harvested and turned into useful work as heat moves from a heat source to a heat sink.
What is the study of heat changes in a chemical reaction?
The study of heat is called thermodynamics.
Is the study of heat?
The study of heat is called thermodynamics.
A heatsink uses a process called?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but a heat sink uses a process called thermal transfer. What this does, is transfers heat from a chip to the air, dissipating it and protecting the chip from heat damage.
Name for the science of heat?
Thermodynamics.
What is the science that deals with heat?
Thermodynamics
What has the author Mark Waldo Zemansky written?
Mark Waldo Zemansky has written: 'Solutions manual to accompany Basic engineering thermodynamics' 'Heat and thermodynamics' -- subject(s): Thermodynamics, Heat
What is the function of a processor heat sink?
To sink the heat.
What is a themodyamics?
I think you mean "thermodynamics" -- which is the study of heat and how it changes. Literally, thermo means "heat" and dynamics means motion -- so thermodynamics literally means "heat motion." You can't literally see heat move so thermodynamics is really the study of how heat can change into energy and can generate power.
How can you tell if it's uses active or passive cooling by looking at the CPU?
The difference is that Passive cooling is just a heat sink that dissipates the heat into the air without the help of a fan. Active cooling is when you have a heat sink and a fan is directly blowing/sucking air thru the heat sink to cool it. The fan does not have to be on the heat sink as with some dell/gateway computers. The fan is on the plastic shroud, which in turn fits right over the heat sink. Water cooling and phase-change cooling is also considered active cooling.
What science branch is heat in?
Thermodynamics (Physics)
