The figure shows a copper disk of radius r and thickness 1, with a hole through its centre of radius a: a) Find an expression for the volume of the copper. b) Find an expression for the increase in temperature of the copper AT if it is supplied with an amount of heat Q at constant pressure. The density and specific heat (heat capacity per unit mass) of copper at constant pressure are pcu and cCu respectively. (You should treat these quantities as constants even though thermal expansion will slightly reduce the density, for example). c) of the disk AA/A when its temperature increases by AT, if the coefficient of linear expansion of copper is aCu- (change in dimension), such as (Ar) Find an expression for the fractional increase in area of the top surface You should ignore terms of the order
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 is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
