Heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation)

Conductivity refers to the process through which energy is transferred via contact with materials. Conductivity is of various types; however, the primary three are electrical, thermal, and ionic conductivity. Any material can either be an insulator or a good conductor. Various materials possess conductivity of different degrees. Different types of energy being transferred also determine […]

Heat transfer is a branch of thermal engineering that deals with the generation, application, interchange, and exchange of heat between bodies. Heat transfer can occur in a body by three different processes: conduction, convection, and radiation. The heat always flows from a hotter body to a cooler body during heat transfer. Hence, heat transfer occurs due

INTRODUCTION After the long ride, one might feel hot when you touch the motorway of the vehicle. If you swim in the pool with water below zero degrees, you feel cold. There is no science behind it.But if the animals like polar bears living in the poles touch the ice cubes, it may feel hot.

Introduction  This article will discuss the concept of calorimetry. We will focus on the calorimeter principle, calorimetry formula, and calorimetry problems in the following segments. Calorimetry is a very important aspect to be considered and worked upon in many industrial processes as well. It is with the help of calorimetric and thermodynamic principles we have

Air conditioning (A/C or AC) is the process of removing heat and managing the humidity of air in an enclosed space to achieve a more comfortable interior atmosphere through the use of powered “air conditioners” or a wide range of other ways such as passive cooling and ventilative cooling. Air conditioning is part of a

Using a compressor and a liquid or gas refrigerant system, heat pumps move or pump heat from one place to another. Heat is taken from the outside sources and brought inside through the system. A heat pump can have a lot of benefits for your home. Pumping the heat uses less electricity than when electricity

People use an ammonia-water absorption cycle to heat fabulous homes. A heat pump works like this. The refrigerant (ammonia) is condensed in one coil to release its heat; its pressure is reduced, and the refrigerant evaporates to take the heat. If the system takes heat from the inside of your home, it cools it down;
