Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specific Heat and Heat of Fusion of Ice The present investigation is one of a series undertaken, at the request of the refrigeration industries; for the determination of constants which are of fundamental importance in the design and operation of refrigeration machinery. A determination made at the Bureau 1 of the heat of fusion of ice was published in 1913. In this publication is given a review of previous work on this subject. As stated there the' results presented are subject to a slight uncertainty on account of the lack of adequate knowledge of the specific heat of ice near the melting point. For this reason and also on account of the direct technical significance of the specific heat of ice, it has been made the subject of the work here presented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Variation of the Specific Heat of Water, With Experiments by a New Method The specific heat of water at 15 C. Has often been adopted as the standard. It exceeds that at 20 C. By little more than 1 in The reduction from 15 C. To 230 U. Can be effected with comparative certainty, but does not materially affect the question of the variation of the specific heat, since all the values are altered nearly in the same proportion, and few results are accurate to 1 in.

Download or read book Ice Formation written by Howard T. Barnes M. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ice Formation: With Special Reference to Anchor-Ice and Frazil N 0 one set of conditions may be said to hold from year to year, on account of the variations in the severity of the winters. Therefore, before an engineering scheme is carried out, a careful study should be made of neighboring conditions, previous sum mer and winter levels, and deductions made from a considera tion of the native traditions over an extended region round about. Indeed, where possible, at least two years should be devoted to the study of the ice conditions at any particular locality where it is desired to erect an expensive plant. It is a well-known law of Nature that any change in a system in equilibrium due to outside conditions brings about a change within the system in a reverse direction. TO convert a sub stance of higher energy-content (water) into one Of lower energy - content (ice), a large amount of energy is liberated in the form of heat to resist that change. Water differs from ice in possessing a store of energy latent in itself and which we measure as heat. The magnitude of this energy may be realized when we remember that, in the passage of water into ice, enough heat is liberated to warm 143 times its own mass one degree on the Fahrenheit scale above the freezing-point. A study of ice formation means a study of heat transfer, and of the physical laws governing its movement from one body to another. It is my intention, therefore, before considering the practical details of river-ice formation, to run over, in as brief a manner as possible, the laws governing heat transfer. A review of this kind is important at the outset, in order that the essential points of the subject in hand may be made clear in the light Of modern ideas of physics. The position occupied by water in the economy Of Nature is most remarkable, and everywhere we see natural conditions influenced and moulded by its wonderful properties. It has the highest capacity for heat Of any substance, and it is this which governs to a large extent the temperature Of the earth. It tempers the seaboard and equalizes the climates of the earth in a way which no other known substance could do. The remarkable increase in thermal capacity as the freezing point is reached makes it more difficult for water to be cooled to that critical point; and when the freezing-point is reached ice can form only at the expense of a large amount of latent heat, larger than any other known substance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Heat In this work the Author has endeavoured to place before his readers in an elementary form the facts and principles of the Science of 'Heat, ' and also to give some of the most prominent practical applications of our knowledge of this subject. His object has been to begin with the study of well-ascertained facts and to proceed onwards to general principles. Accordingly, the work has been divided into three parts; the first of which embraces the study of the various effects produced by heat upon bodies. In this part many of the most recent investigations, as well as the apparatus used in conducting them, are described at length, while numerical examples are given, which, it is hoped, may enable the student to attain to the accuracy needful in physical research. The second division contains the laws which regulate the distribution of heat through space, and includes radiation, conduction, convection, and the measurements of specific and latent heat. Theoretical views are here for the first time introduced. The third and last part relates to the nature of Heat, its sources, and connexion with other properties of matter. In this part Heat is viewed as a kind of energy, and the leading principles by which Heat becomes related to other forms of energy are discussed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat: With Subsidiary Researches on the Variation of the Mercurial From the Air Thermometer, and on the Variation of the Specific Heat of Water Again, as water is necessarily the liquid used in calorimeters, its variation of Specific heat with the temperature is a very important factor in the determination of the equivalent. Strange as it may appear, we may be said to know almost nothing about the variation of the specific heat of water with the temperature between 0 and 100 C.

Download or read book Heat Capacity and Thermal Expansion at Low Temperatures written by T.H.K. Barron and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of this monograph is partly due to the persistent efforts of the General Editor, Dr. Klaus Timmerhaus, to persuade the authors that they encapsulate their forty or fifty years of struggle with the thermal properties of materials into a book before they either expired or became totally senile. We recognize his wisdom in wanting a monograph which includes the closely linked properties of heat capacity and thermal expansion, to which we have added a little 'cement' in the form of elastic moduli. There seems to be a dearth of practitioners in these areas, particularly among physics postgraduate students, sometimes temporarily alleviated when a new generation of exciting materials are found, be they heavy fermion compounds, high temperature superconductors, or fullerenes. And yet the needs of the space industry, telecommunications, energy conservation, astronomy, medical imaging, etc. , place demands for more data and understanding of these properties for all classes of materials - metals, polymers, glasses, ceramics, and mixtures thereof. There have been many useful books, including Specific Heats at Low Tempera tures by E. S. Raja Gopal (1966) in this Plenum Cryogenic Monograph Series, but few if any that covered these related topics in one book in a fashion designed to help the cryogenic engineer and cryophysicist. We hope that the introductory chapter will widen the horizons of many without a solid state background but with a general interest in physics and materials.

Book excerpt: This work was begun quite some time ago at the University of Oxford during the tenure of an Overseas Scholarship of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and was completed at Banga lore when the author was being supported by a maintenance allowance from the CSIR Pool for unemployed scientists. It is hoped that significant developments taking place as late as the beginning of 1965 have been incorporated. The initial impetus and inspiration for the work came from Dr. K. Mendelssohn. To him and to Drs. R. W. Hill and N. E. Phillips, who went through the whole of the text, the author is obliged in more ways than one. For permission to use figures and other materials, grateful thanks are tendered to the concerned workers and institutions. The author is not so sanguine as to imagine that all technical and literary flaws have been weeded out. If others come across them, they may be charitably brought to the author's notice as proof that physics has become too vast to be comprehended by a single onlooker. E. S.

Book excerpt: Ice is one of the most abundant and environmentally important materials on Earth, and its unique and intriguing physical properties present fascinating areas of study for a wide variety of researchers. This book is about the physics of ice, by which is meant the properties of the material itself and the ways in which these properties are interpreted in terms of water molecules and crystalline structure. Although ice has a simple crystal structure its hydrogen bonding results in unique properties, which continue to be the subject of active research. In this book the physical principles underlying the properties of ice are carefully developed at a level aimed at pure and applied researchers in the field. Important topics like current understandings of the electrical, mechanical, and surface properties, and the occurrence of many different crystalline phases are developed in a coherent way for the first time. An extensive reference list and numerous illustrations add to the usefulness and readability of the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
