In summary, to calculate the mass of gas in a tank, first measure the volume of gas in the tank. Next, determine the gas's density, which can vary with temperature and pressure. Finally, use the formula: mass = volume × density. Ensure that all measurements are in compatible units to...
Calculate the specific heat capacity of a metal if 35.1 J of thermal energy is necessary to raise the temperature of 12.56 g of the metal from 22 degrees C to 34 degrees C. What does the heat capacity of an object depend on? Calculate the heat given off when 177 g of copper cools fr...
This study examines the development of rules of thumb based on relationship between thermal mass (thermal capacity) and spatial volume; it explores the following research questions: (1) Can you have too much mass in a building?(2) Is there a point at which adding additional mass to a space...
This calculation is for a heat source that is the same size as the base of the heat sink, therefore no spreading resistance is included in the calculation. Reference the blog postHow to design a flat plate heat sinkto learn about how to calculate the thermal spreading resistance. The therm...
To calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of a known mass of a substance, you use the specific heat formula: **Q = m × c ×ΔT** **Qis the energy transferred in joules,m** is the mass of the substances in kg,cis the specific heat capacity in J/kg degrees C, ...
Answer to: How do we calculate the distances to stars? What units do we use, and what are the limitations (if any) of the method used for such...
Another way to calculate the weight to volume ratio of an object is to use the density formula. The calculation is not too complicated as you only need to do one operation to find it. The density formula is as follows: D=m/vD=m/v where: DD - density; mm - mass; and vv - volume...
As a technical support engineer, one of the most common technical questions I receive is: “How can I compute the mass conservation of a fluid flow simulation or the energy balance of a conjugate heat transfer simulation?” This is often requested to investigate and ensure a simulation’s accu...
Find the British Thermal Unit rating for the appliance or equipment. Consult the specifications page of the owner's or operator's manual or the appliance's manual. Determine the amount of space or water to be heated. Calculate the space in cubic feet by measuring the length, width and dista...
