In the context of calorimetry, the water equivalent (W) of a body is defined as the amount of water that would absorb or lose the same amount of heat as the body for the same change in temperature. Mathematically, it is given by the formula: @$\begin {align*} W = m \cdot s \end {align*}@$ where: m is the mass of the body, and s is the specific ...
16 sie 2023 · The theoretical amount of energy required to raise the water by the measure temperature change is calculated and compared to the electrical energy input to calculate efficiency. This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
12 sty 2015 · Next we take the difference of the energy gained and energy lost at a single instant divide by the temperature change of the cold calorimeter (I have no idea why the cold one) and this is the calorimeters heat capacity.

Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) shows a heating curve, a plot of temperature versus heating time, for a 75 g sample of water. The sample is initially ice at 1 atm and −23°C; as heat is added, the temperature of the ice increases linearly with time.
The specific heat of a substance can be used to calculate the temperature change that a given substance will undergo when it is either heated or cooled. The equation that relates heat (q) (q) to specific heat (cp) (c p), mass (m) (m), and temperature change (ΔT) (Δ T) is shown below. q = cp × m × ΔT q = c p × m × Δ T.
The major objective of this presentation is to promote the design of energy-efficient commercial water heating systems through proper sizing, equipment recommendations and system selection. Properly designed commercial and industrial water heating systems are essential to the health and well being of the community.
