Cappuccino and Specific Heat Versus Heat of Vaporization

On the Determination of Specific Heat and of Latent Heat of Vaporization with the Vapor Calorimeter

A Study of Latent Heat of Vaporization in Aqueous Nanofluids

thermal and radiative properties. Such work has generated great controversy, although it is arguably accepted today that the presence of nanoparticles rarely leads to useful enhancements in either thermal conductivity or convective heat transfer. On the other hand, there are still examples of unanticipated enhancements to some properties, such as the reported specific heat of molten salt-based ...

An Equation for the Latent Heat of Vaporization

B = dimensionless coefficient in polynominals b = dimensionless coefficient in polynominals F = dimensionless radial velocity G = dimensionless tangential velocity H = dimensionless axial velocity K = 7 / 2 p r ~ ( v u ) ' / ~ , dimensionless parameter Q = $ow rate 8' = dimensionless flow rate r = radial coordinate u = radial velocity II = tangential velocity w = axial velocity z = axial coordi...

Specific heat of EuxSrl_xTe

In this paper, we report on measurements of the specific heat C of single-crystalline EuxSrl_xTe at temperatures between 60 mK and 15 K and in magnetic fields up to 6 T. Pure antiferromagnetic EuTe shows unusual critical behavior in the vicinity of the N6el temperature T N = 9.8 K with a positive critical exponent instead of the 3d-Heisenberg exponent c~---0.12. Possible reasons for this discre...

Specific heat of nanocrystals

The present study extends the Einstein model for heat capacity of solids to nanoclusters. In the case of small phases the contribution of surface energy to overall thermodynamic properties of the system is essential. On that physical background, the heat capacity depends on the size of cluster through its interface energy. Employing the same relation between Einstein temperature and the cluster...
