Questions related to Heat, Heat output, and Watts


Recommended Posts

so i have a question and i already posted this on another forum, but i thought i might as well start a new thread(?) for any one who has questions like this since there did not appear to be one specifically for this.

so when a device says it outputs 100 watts of heat, then in one full cycle how many degrees K/C/F generated in 5x5 thermally isolated space of pure oxygen dose this equal, and could you give me the mathematical equation you would use.

 

ill probably do a test on this, but i dont have acess to my computer atm.

This depends on the objects’s heat capacity.  This is measured in (J/g)/K.  To work out how much something will heat up take that objects heat capacity (The came will show you that value in the details) then divide that by (watts/mass of the thing) this will tell you how meany Degrees K (or degrees C) the object will heat up in a second.

in short is Q=mc∆t
 

Spoiler

 

where

Q=heat (J or Cal)

c=specific heat (image.png.a362ac0179612135ddf9a67a5212d5cd.png)

m=mass (gram)

∆t =t2-t1 (second) in short means total time

also if you still confuse check about Laws of thermodynamics and Conservation of Energy
