heat capacity at constant volume
21heat — heatable, adj. heatful, adj. heatless, adj. heatlike, adj. /heet/, n. 1. the state of a body perceived as having or generating a relatively high degree of warmth. 2. the condition or quality of being hot: the heat of an oven. 3. the degree of… …
22Equilibrium constant — For a general chemical reaction:alpha A +eta B ... ightleftharpoons sigma S+ au T ...the equilibrium constant can be defined by [F.J,C. Rossotti and H. Rossotti, The Determination of Stability Constants, McGraw Hill, 1961.] :K=frac{S ^sigma {{T^ …
23Gas constant — Values of R [1] Units (V P T −1 n−1) 8.3144621(75)[2] J K−1 mol−1 5.189× …
24Enhanced heat transfer — Heat exchangers were initially developed to use plain (or smooth) heat transfer surfaces. An Enhanced heat transfer surface has a special surface geometry that provides a higher thermal performance, per unit base surface area than a plain surface …
25Convective heat transfer — See also: Heat transfer and convection This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. In this figure, a hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes… …
26Boltzmann constant — For the constant pertaining to energy of black body radiation see Stefan–Boltzmann constant Values of k[1] Units 1.3806488(13)×10−23 J K−1 8.617332 …

29Mechanical equivalent of heat — For other uses, see Conservation of energy. In the history of science, the mechanical equivalent of heat was a concept that had an important part in the development and acceptance of the conservation of energy and the establishment of the science …
30Regenerative heat exchanger — A regenerative heat exchanger, or more commonly a regenerator, is a type of heat exchanger where the flow through the heat exchanger is cyclical and periodically changes direction. It is similar to a countercurrent heat exchanger. However, a… …
