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 17, Problem 85GP

Students on a spring break picnic bring a cooler that contains 5.1 kg of ice at 0.0 °C. The cooler has walls that are 3.8 cm thick and are made of Styrofoam, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.030 W/(m · C°). The surface area of the cooler is 1.5 m², and it rests in the shade where the air temperature is 21 °C. (a) Find the rate at which heat flows into the cooler. (b) How much time does it take for the ice in the cooler to melt?
