  2. Sensible heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensible_heat

    The sensible heat of a thermodynamic process may be calculated as the product of the body's mass (m) with its specific heat capacity (c) and the change in temperature (): =. Joule described sensible heat as the energy measured by a thermometer. Sensible heat and latent heat are not special forms of energy. Rather, they describe exchanges of ...

  3. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    The process of heat transfer from one place to another place without the movement of particles is called conduction, such as when placing a hand on a cold glass of water—heat is conducted from the warm skin to the cold glass, but if the hand is held a few inches from the glass, little conduction would occur since air is a poor conductor of heat.

  4. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

    A current student text on chemistry defines heat thus: "heat is the exchange of thermal energy between a system and its surroundings caused by a temperature difference." The author then explains how heat is defined or measured by calorimetry, in terms of heat capacity, specific heat capacity, molar heat capacity, and temperature. [42]

  5. Bowen ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowen_ratio

    The Bowen ratio is calculated by the equation: =, where is sensible heating and is latent heating. In this context, when the magnitude of is less than one, a greater proportion of the available energy at the surface is passed to the atmosphere as latent heat than as sensible heat, and the converse is true for values of greater than one.

  6. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    Firstly, thermo-("of heat"; used in words such as thermometer) can be traced back to the root θέρμη therme, meaning "heat". Secondly, the word dynamics ("science of force [or power]") [22] can be traced back to the root δύναμις dynamis, meaning "power". [23] [24] In 1849, the adjective thermo-dynamic is used by William Thomson. [25 ...

  7. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    Conduction heat flux q k for ideal gas is derived with the gas kinetic theory or the Boltzmann transport equations, and the thermal conductivity is =, -, where u f 2 1/2 is the RMS (root mean square) thermal velocity (3k B T/m from the MB distribution function, m: atomic mass) and τ f-f is the relaxation time (or intercollision time period ...

  8. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    Thus, the specific heat capacity per mole of a polyatomic gas depends both on the molecular mass and the number of degrees of freedom of the molecules. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ] Quantum statistical mechanics predicts that each rotational or vibrational mode can only take or lose energy in certain discrete amounts (quanta), and that this affects the ...

  9. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

    The state of a thermodynamic system is specified by a number of extensive quantities, the most familiar of which are volume, internal energy, and the amount of each constituent particle (particle numbers). Extensive parameters are properties of the entire system, as contrasted with intensive parameters which can be defined at a single point ...
