Heat, as distinct from temperature, can only be measured using a medium, ie a substance of known specific heat. Then by measuring its temperature the amount of heat can be calculated. Water is the easiest to use, at least up to its boiling point, and by definition, a rise of 1 deg C per gram of water is 1 calorie. One of the most frequent needs to measure heat is in power stations or industrial processes which use water or steam. If you are working out heat flow using steam you have to use steam tables which are calculated giving the heat content per unit mass of steam at various pressures and temperatures. Sometimes you would need to measure heat flows in other fluids, such as at an oil refinery, then you would have to know the specific heat (that is the heat per degree of temperature) of the fluid being handled.
What else can I help you with?
Heat transfer between two substances that are in contact is called what?
CONDUCTION
Is a camp fire Have Conduction?
Yes, a campfire involves conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects of different temperatures. In a campfire, heat is transferred from the burning fuel to the surrounding air and objects through conduction.
What is the answer to the analogy fiberglass is to insulation as conduction is to what?
The answer is "heat transfer." Fiberglass is commonly used as insulation to reduce heat transfer, while conduction is a form of heat transfer where heat is transferred through a material.
Is a campfire a conduction?
Yes, a campfire involves heat transfer through conduction. In a campfire, heat moves from the hot coals to nearby objects like logs or food through direct contact. This process of heat transfer through solid materials is known as conduction.
What heat transference is used when boiling pasta?
Conduction is the main heat transfer method used when boiling pasta. The heat from the boiling water is directly transferred to the pasta through conduction, cooking it evenly.
Is Fahrenheit a poor conductor of heat?
Fahrenheit is a unit of measure of temperature. It is not a material and therefore has nothing to do with the conduction of heat.
Does conduction produce heat?
no, conduction describes how the heat is transported not how it is generated. With conduction, a heat source is still needed.
What are two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life?
Two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life:- heat conduction through walls- heat conduction through clothing- heat conduction from many home appliances
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
How are heat and conduction related?
Conduction is one way that heat spreads.
What is the transfer of heat by particles colliding with each other called?
That sounds like a description of heat conduction.
What is the term for heat transfer of direct contact?
Conduction is the term for heat transfer because of direct contact.
Conduction how does heat moves?
Conduction heat moves by using movement of fluids.
How does conduction conduct heat?
Conduction heat moves by using movement of fluids.
The measure of ability of materials to transfer heat from one molecule to the next by conduction?
Thermal conductivity is the measure of a material's ability to transfer heat through conduction. This property indicates how well a material allows heat to pass through it by molecular vibrations. Materials with high thermal conductivity transfer heat more efficiently than those with low thermal conductivity.
How does the heat flow in conduction?
In Conduction the heat flows by molecular contact (i.e.) by touch)
Distinguish between valence and conduction electron hence explain the mechanism of electrons heat and heat transfer in conduction?
Why is conduction important?
