Heat Energy Measurement II
Performance Objectives
Students should be able to;
1. Distinguish between evaporation and boiling and explain sublimation.
2. Explain the working principles of such common device as refrigerator.
3. Explain the effects of humidity on personal comfort.
Application of Latent Heat
Content
Example 1:
Calculate the energy required to vaporize 50g of water initially at 800C . [Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2Jg-1K-1; specific latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260Jg-1]
Solution:
Q = Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 800C to 1000C + Heat required to vaporize water
Q = mcw(θ2 − θ1) + ml Q =.... View More Click here to gain access to the full notes. |
