There are three distinct categories of heat transfer: Conduction Convection Radiation Each of these heat transfer modes is important to understand. The first two modes, conduction and convection, require direct physical contact between the molecules of the substances involved in the heat transfer. The third mode, radiation, is the transmission of heat in the form […]

The movement of heat is traditionally referred to as “heat transfer”. Thermodynamics is a term applied to the study of heat movement. The laws of thermodynamics are a crucial foundation for understanding heat movement. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, merely changed. Since heat is a form […]
Ammonia Elusive in this week’s edition of the Ammonia Week in Review… US Department of Energy Looks Into Ammonia Leaks at Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant – Energy officials were looking into the repeated anhydrous ammonia leaks reported at Hanford’s sprawling Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. […keep reading] Fundamentals of Refrigeration: Combination Equations – In the real […]
In the real world, many situations will involve both the sensible heat equation and the latent heat equation. Example 1: How many BTUs are required to change 5 pounds of 100ºF water into 212ºF steam? Before solving this problem, it is essential to recognize that there are two distinct components. First, the temperature of the […]
