  2. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    It is the rate of heat transfer needed to freeze 1 short ton (907 kg) of water into ice in 24 hours. In the United States and Canada, the R-value that describes the performance of thermal insulation is typically quoted in square foot degree Fahrenheit hours per British thermal unit (ft 2 ⋅°F⋅h/Btu).

  4. Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_natural_gas

    The heating value depends on the source of gas that is used and the process that is used to liquefy the gas. The range of heating value can span ±10 to 15 percent. A typical value of the higher heating value of LNG is approximately 50 MJ/kg or 21,500 BTU/lb. [2] A typical value of the lower heating value of LNG is 45 MJ/kg or 19,350 BTU/lb.

  5. Cooling bath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_bath

    Both flasks are submerged in a dry ice/acetone cooling bath (−78 °C) the temperature of which is being monitored by a thermocouple (the wire on the left). A cooling bath or ice bath , in laboratory chemistry practice, is a liquid mixture which is used to maintain low temperatures, typically between 13 °C and −196 °C.

  6. Therm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therm

    The therm (symbol, thm) is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU), [1] and approximately 105 megajoules, 29.3 kilowatt-hours, 25,200 kilocalories and 25.2 thermies. One therm is the energy content of approximately 100 cubic feet (2.83 cubic metres) of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure .

  8. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    Dry ice is typically produced in three standard forms: large blocks, small (1 ⁄ 2 or 5 ⁄ 8 in [13 or 16 mm] diameter) cylindrical pellets and tiny (1 ⁄ 8 inch [3.2 mm] diameter) cylindrical, high surface to volume pellets that float on oil or water and do not stick to skin because of their high radii of curvature.

    The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]
