Cuando calienta el sol" (meaning When the sun heats (or warms) up) is a popular Spanish language song originally composed as "Cuando calienta el sol en Masachapa", Masachapa being a coastal town in Nicaragua. The music was written by Rafael Gaston Perez, a Nicaraguan songwriter and bandleader.
The term "calorie" comes from Latin calor 'heat'. [12] It was first introduced by Nicolas Clément, as a unit of heat energy, in lectures on experimental calorimetry during the years 1819–1824. This was the "large" calorie. [2] [13] [14] The term (written with lowercase "c") entered French and English dictionaries between 1841 and 1867.
The following list is the highest average mean maximum temperatures ever recorded in Spain, above 39.4 °C (102.9 °F). Cities in the interior of southern Spain recorded the highest average mean maximums temperatures ever in all of Europe. [26] [27]
Heat (Latin: calor), in thermodynamics, or the human perception of: Thermal energy, in physics and engineering; Temperature, the manifestation of thermal energy; Heat (Latin: calor), one of the cardinal signs of inflammation in medicine
A high pressure system in the upper atmosphere traps heat near the ground, forming a heat wave (for North America in this example). A heat wave or heatwave, sometimes described as extreme heat, is a period of abnormally hot weather [1]: 2911 generally considered to be at least five consecutive days.
In this definition, for the sake of conceptual rigour, the quantity of energy transferred as heat is not specified directly in terms of the non-adiabatic process. It is defined through knowledge of precisely two variables, the change of internal energy and the amount of adiabatic work done, for the combined process of change from the reference ...
The Revolution of October 8, 1812 (Spanish: Revolución del 8 de octubre de 1812) took place during the Argentine War of Independence.Led by José de San Martín and Carlos María de Alvear, it deposed the First Triumvirate and allowed the creation of the Second Triumvirate, which called the Assembly of Year XIII.
Note that this definition of convection is only applicable in Heat transfer and thermodynamic contexts. It should not be confused with the dynamic fluid phenomenon of convection, which is typically referred to as Natural Convection in thermodynamic contexts in order to distinguish the two.
