Thermodynamics

Continuity Equation with Example calculation

Continuity Equation with Example calculation

[latexpage]In this article, I introduce the Continuity Equation, explain why it is important to know it and show the context of the continuity equation with an example calculation. Since this article refers to the article on volumetric flow rate and flow velocity, I...

Volumetric Flow Rate and Flow Velocity

Volumetric Flow Rate and Flow Velocity

[latexpage]In this article, I will introduce you to volume flow and flow velocity as further physical variables and show you how to calculate them using two examples. Volumetric flow rate The volumetric flow rate ($\dot V$) (also known as volume flow) indicates how...

What is Density?

What is Density?

[latexpage]In this article I show you the physical quantity "density" and an example how you can calculate it with the help of volume and mass. Basics of Density The density $\rho$ (rho) indicates the ratio of mass to volume of a substance. The density of a substance...

Heat Flow Rate – Performance in Heating Technology

Heat Flow Rate – Performance in Heating Technology

[latexpage]In this small article I will introduce you to the heat flow rate, also called heat performance, as another basic and important quantity of heating technology. The heat flow rate is given as $\dot{Q}$ (Q point). Performance P In order to understand the heat...

What is Specific Heat Capacity?

What is Specific Heat Capacity?

[latexpage]Today I would like to introduce the specific heat capacity to you in a slightly smaller article. The specific heat capacity $c$ indicates the quantity of heat $Q$ that a substance can release or absorb in relation to its mass $m$ when the temperature...
