Assumes c stays constant over the range and no melting or boiling happens in between.

Adding 334.88 kJ to 1 kg of material with c = 4,186 J/(kg·K) changes its temperature by 80 K, from 20 °C to 100 °C.

  1. Temperature change

    ΔT=T2−T1=100−(20)=80 K\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 100 - (20) = 80\ \mathrm{K}

    A change of 1 °C equals a change of 1 K.

  2. Heat

    Q=mcΔT=(1)(4,186)(100−20)=334,880 JQ = mc\Delta T = (1)(4{,}186)(100 - 20) = 334{,}880\ \mathrm{J}

Tentang Specific heat, latent heat and Carnot efficiency calculator

Warming or cooling a material takes heat Q = mcΔT, where m is the mass, c the specific heat capacity and ΔT the temperature change; the calculator solves for any one of heat, mass, final temperature or specific heat. Melting or boiling takes Q = mL at constant temperature, where L is the latent heat. The Carnot mode gives the upper limit on any heat engine's efficiency, 1 − Tc/Th with both temperatures in kelvin.

The default, 1 kg of water heated from 20 °C to 100 °C, needs 334,880 J (0.093 kWh), what a 2 kW kettle delivers in 2 minutes 47 seconds with no losses. Boiling that water away takes a further 2,256 kJ, almost seven times as much.

Specific heats are room-temperature values from OpenStax University Physics (Table 1.3). In reality c varies with temperature, and the calculation assumes no melting or boiling between the two temperatures.

Pertanyaan

How much energy does it take to heat water?

4,186 J per kilogram per degree Celsius, water's specific heat capacity. Heating 1 litre (1 kg) from 20 °C to 100 °C takes 1 × 4,186 × 80 = 334,880 J, or 0.093 kWh. In US units that is about 1 BTU per pound per °F, which is how the BTU was originally defined.

What is specific heat capacity?

The heat needed to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 K (the same as 1 °C), in J/(kg·K). Water's is 4,186, among the highest of common substances, while copper's is 387 and lead's 128. The same 10 kJ warms 1 kg of water by 2.4 °C but 1 kg of copper by 25.8 °C, which is why water is used for cooling and heat storage.

What is latent heat?

The energy absorbed or released during a phase change at constant temperature, Q = mL. For water the latent heat of fusion is 334 kJ/kg at 0 °C and of vaporisation 2,256 kJ/kg at 100 °C (OpenStax Table 1.4). Melting 2 kg of ice takes 668 kJ, enough to heat the same 2 kg of water by about 80 °C.

What is the Carnot efficiency?

η = 1 − Tc/Th, the largest fraction of heat that any engine can turn into work between a hot reservoir at Th and a cold one at Tc, both in kelvin. Between 500 K and 300 K it is 40%; between boiling and freezing water, 26.8%. Real engines fall short of it: coal-fired power stations typically convert about 37% of their fuel's heat into electricity.

What is the maximum COP of a heat pump?

COP = Th/(Th − Tc) with temperatures in kelvin, the Carnot limit on heat delivered per unit of work. Pumping heat from 0 °C outdoors into a 35 °C heating loop allows at most 308.15/35 ≈ 8.8. At −10 °C outside the limit drops to 6.8, and real machines stay well below it because of compressor and heat-exchanger losses.

Seberapa akurat “Specific heat, latent heat and Carnot efficiency calculator”?
