  2. Thermal wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Wheel

    The rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel heat exchanger is a rotating cylinder filled with an air permeable material, typically polymer, aluminum, or synthetic fiber, providing the large surface area required for the sensible enthalpy transfer (enthalpy is a measure of heat). As the wheel rotates between the supply and exhaust air streams it picks ...

    The rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel heat exchanger is a rotating cylinder filled with an air permeable material, typically polymer, aluminum, or synthetic fiber, providing the large surface area required for the sensible enthalpy transfer (enthalpy is a measure of heat).

  4. Sensible heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensible_heat

    The sensible heat of a thermodynamic process may be calculated as the product of the body's mass (m) with its specific heat capacity (c) and the change in temperature (): =. Joule described sensible heat as the energy measured by a thermometer. Sensible heat and latent heat are not special forms of energy. Rather, they describe exchanges of ...

  5. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    In the case of pure carbon or carbon monoxide, the two heating values are almost identical, the difference being the sensible heat content of carbon dioxide between 150 °C and 25 °C (sensible heat exchange causes a change of temperature, while latent heat is added or subtracted for phase transitions at constant temperature. Examples: heat of ...

  6. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    This convective fluid can be either a liquid or a gas. For heat transfer from the outer surface of the body, the convection mechanism is dependent on the surface area of the body, the velocity of the air, and the temperature gradient between the surface of the skin and the ambient air. [44] The normal temperature of the body is approximately 37 ...

  7. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    C p is therefore the slope of a plot of temperature vs. isobaric heat content (or the derivative of a temperature/heat content equation). The SI units for heat capacity are J/(mol·K). Molar heat content of four substances in their designated states above 298.15 K and at 1 atm pressure. CaO(c) and Rh(c) are in their normal standard state of ...

  8. Cooling load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load

    Cooling load is the rate at which sensible and latent heat must be removed from the space to maintain a constant space dry-bulb air temperature and humidity. [1] [2] Sensible heat into the space causes its air temperature to rise while latent heat is associated with the rise of the moisture content in the space.

  9. Stagnation temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_temperature

    q = Heat per unit mass added into the system. Strictly speaking, enthalpy is a function of both temperature and density. However, invoking the common assumption of a calorically perfect gas, enthalpy can be converted directly into temperature as given above, which enables one to define a stagnation temperature in terms of the more fundamental property, stagnation enthalpy.
