The kinetic energy of a 2 kg mass travelling at 1 m/s, or a 1 kg mass travelling at 1.41 m/s. The energy required to lift an apple up 1 m, assuming the apple has a mass of 101.97 g. The heat required to raise the temperature of 0.239 g of water from 0 °C to 1 °C. [16] The kinetic energy of a 50 kg human moving very slowly (0.2 m/s or 0.72 km/h).
The heat capacity of an object is an amount of energy divided by a temperature change, which has the dimension L 2 ⋅M⋅T −2 ⋅Θ −1. Therefore, the SI unit J/K is equivalent to kilogram meter squared per second squared per kelvin (kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2 ⋅K −1 ).
In general, proteins have lower energy densities (≈16 kJ/g) than carbohydrates (≈17 kJ/g), whereas fats provide much higher energy densities (≈38 kJ/g), [8] 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 times as much energy. Fats contain more carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds than carbohydrates or proteins, yielding higher energy density. [ 9 ]
In monatomic gases (like argon) at room temperature and constant volume, volumetric heat capacities are all very close to 0.5 kJ⋅K −1 ⋅m −3, which is the same as the theoretical value of 3 / 2 RT per kelvin per mole of gas molecules (where R is the gas constant and T is temperature). As noted, the much lower values for gas heat ...
Taking a volume of air at temperature T and mixing ratio of r, drying it by condensation will restore energy to the airmass. This will depend on the latent heat release as: + where: : latent heat of evaporation (2400 kJ/kg at 25°C to 2600 kJ/kg at −40°C)
A representation of Hess's law (where H represents enthalpy) Hess's law of constant heat summation, also known simply as Hess's law, is a relationship in physical chemistry and thermodynamics [1] named after Germain Hess, a Swiss-born Russian chemist and physician who published it in 1840.
1 + 1 ⁄ 2: the greatest heat of a bath which one can endure for some time when the hand is dipped in and is kept still 20: the heat of a bath in which liquid wax slowly becomes solid and assumes transparency 24: 2: the heat of a bath in which solid wax melts and is conserved in liquid state without boiling 28: 2 + 1 ⁄ 4
