  2. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    For example, the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 K is 4184 joules, so the specific heat capacity of water is 4184 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1. [3] Specific heat capacity often varies with temperature, and is different for each state of matter.

  4. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    Most of the heat energy of the sunlight that strikes the Earth is absorbed in the first few centimeters at the ocean's surface, which heats during the day and cools at night as heat energy is lost to space by radiation.

  5. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    The heat capacity of an object is an amount of energy divided by a temperature change, which has the dimension L 2 ⋅M⋅T −2 ⋅Θ −1. Therefore, the SI unit J/K is equivalent to kilogram meter squared per second squared per kelvin (kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2 ⋅K −1 ).

  6. Ocean thermal energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_thermal_energy...

    Since the turbine exhaust is to be discharged back into the ocean, a direct contact condenser is used to mix the exhaust with cold water, which results in a near-saturated water. That water is now discharged back to the ocean. H 6 =H f, at T 5. T 7 is the temperature of the exhaust mixed with cold sea water, as the vapor content now is negligible,

  7. Ocean temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_temperature

    The graph shows OHC calculated to a water depth of 700 and to 2000 meters. Ocean heat content (OHC) or ocean heat uptake (OHU) is the energy absorbed and stored by oceans. To calculate the ocean heat content, it is necessary to measure ocean temperature at many different locations and depths.

    With regards to the modalities of heat and cold, each works to modify the blood flow to the muscles and joints in the area applied, says Rahul Shah, M.D., board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon ...

  9. Heat capacity rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_rate

    A hot fluid's heat capacity rate can be much greater than, equal to, or much less than the heat capacity rate of the same fluid when cold. In practice, it is most important in specifying heat-exchanger systems, wherein one fluid usually of dissimilar nature is used to cool another fluid such as the hot gases or steam cooled in a power plant by a heat sink from a water source—a case of ...
