Explore: Expansion (heat)

characteristic discontinuities of the coefficient of thermal expansion and specific heat. These discontinuities allow detection of the glass transition

at constant pressure (CP) to heat capacity at constant volume (CV). It is sometimes also known as the isentropic expansion factor and is denoted by γ (gamma)

pseudo-adiabatic expansion differs from air undergoing adiabatic expansion because latent heat is released by precipitation. A process without transfer of heat to or

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure

In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings by such mechanisms as thermal conduction, electromagnetic

30 teams. The most recent additions were the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat (1988), the Minnesota Timberwolves and Orlando Magic (1989), the Toronto

acting as a heat engine consists of the following steps: Reversible isothermal expansion of the gas at the "hot" temperature, TH (isothermal heat addition

This type of expansion is named after James Prescott Joule who used this expansion, in 1845, in his study for the mechanical equivalent of heat, but this
