THE loss of magnetism by ferromagnetic substances at their critical temperatures is accompanied by a striking change in the specific heat. Not only do ferromagnetic substances exhibit an abnormal rise ...

You may be familiar with the formula BTUH = CFM x ΔT x 1.08. This same formula is often rearranged to use for determining airflow by measuring the heat input and temperature rise. The factor 3.41 ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Quite some years ago I examined how, if we know the specific heat capacity of a particular thing, we can make an estimate of the time constant of that particular thing undergoing a thermal excursion ...

The use of nanocomposites, which use small-scale particle fillers to enhance the characteristics of thermoplastics and thermosets, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For instance, ...
