Applications of water's high specific heat capacity?
In cold countries, agricultural fields are watered during evenings. When atmosphere cools, this water also gets cooled. Then more heat is liberated. Thus this heat protects the seeds and plants from getting freezed. Water is used in the radiators of vehicles. Even though water receives a lot of heat from the engine, because of it's high specific heat capacity the water doesn't get heated fast.
What is the loading capacity of .95meters dia. x 3.5 meters buoyancy tank float in sea water?
1,200 loading capacity
What is the best conductor of heat between air water wood and glass?
Air at sea level has a specific heat of 1.0035 kJ/(kg*K). Air at room temperature has a specific heat of 1.012 kJ/(kg*K) Water at room temperature has a specific heat of 4.184 kJ/(kg*K) Therefore, since it takes more energy to increase the temperature of one kilogram of water (because it has a higher specific heat), water is a better insulator. This explains (roughly, though it is much more complex when taking in actual mass, size, and radiation) why on a hot day the air temperature will change much more than the temperature of a pool of water.
Would all samples of sea water have the same specific gravity?
no
Why can a ship not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine?
The heat engine can convert internal energy of sea water if there is a sink at temperature lower than temperature of sea water. Since there is no such sink and hence a ship can not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine.
In general which is caused of a sea breeze?
The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
What is the specific heat capacity of saltwater?
63.9 ml per joules a second. In the arctic sea only.
Specific heat for alluminium and mild steel?
Specific heat capacity of Aluminium at standard conditions ie. 20 degrees at sea level. is 900J/kg/K Specific heat capacity of Mild Steel at standard conditions ie. 20 degrees at sea level. is 620J/kg/K
What is the Applications of specific heat capacity?
i like to give a short application of specific heast energyland and sea breeze,air conditioners as a coolent, radiators ,
What is the concentration of salt in seawater and the specific heat capacities of sea water and fresh water?
the seawater smells

Why is the specific heat of water important?
It is important for aquatic life. Sea water does not heat too much with the sun heating it all day long. Thus, aquatic animals enjoy of a constant temperature in the sea.
What is a specific heat of land?
Air has a heat capacity of 1007 J/(kg K).Water has a heat capacity of 4218 J/(kg K).There is approximately a factor of four difference. When comparing the effective heat capacities of a column of air and a column of water, the relative masses of the columns must be considered; A column of air extending to mean sea level (no topography) has a mass of 10^4 kg / m^2 (surface pressure divided by gravity). Thus a column of atmosphere has a heat capacity of about 10^7 J/m^2. The same mass is found in 10 meters depth of water. Thus, a column of water has a heat capacity of 4*10^7 * (depth / 10 m) J/m^2. Thus, when comparing the heat capacity of a water column and an air column, there is a factor of four difference for the heat capacity and a factor of water depth / 10 meters for the masses. For example, a 50 meter column of water (typical mixed layer depth) has 4*50/10 = 20 times that of air. I would love to know some values for the land surface... that's how I ended up here.
Which get heated faster land or air?
Yes, water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning that it requires more energy to heat water to the same temperature as a piece of land. Water also reflects more incoming radiation. Land is dark, rough, and solid, which all contribute to the absorption of the radiation. Unlike water, land is unable to retain heat for as long as water. This is one reason why people who live near bodies of water experience less temperature extremes than those who don't live near water. The water retains heat gathered in the summer during the winter (keeping the area warmer), and keeps an area cooler in the summer while it collects heat.
In general which is the cause of a sea breeze?
The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
How does specific heat affect local winds?
Specific heat refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. In the context of local winds, specific heat affects the temperature of the land and water. Land has a lower specific heat compared to water, meaning it heats up and cools down faster. This difference in specific heat causes differential heating, leading to temperature differences and the formation of local wind patterns such as sea breezes and land breezes.
Where did the heat come from to evaporate water from sea water?
The main source of heat is from the sun.
