Energy transfer

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 14EAP

A concrete bridge is built of 325-cm-long concrete slabs with an expansion joint between them. The slabs just touch on a 115°F day, the hottest day for which the bridge is designed. What is the gap between the slabs when the temperature is 0°F?

Two concrete spans of a 220-m-long bridge are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Figure a). If the temperature increases by 16.7°C,what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Figure b)? (The coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is 1.20 10-5°C−1.) m
