Just a basic question.
It's as the title says, If I'd want to determine the latent of oils (or any material for that matter), is the same methodology used for determining the L.H. of ice applicable? (e.g...
Hi guys, I've just finished with the calibration, and I think it was quite good except except for a minor anomaly regarding the estimated value of C.
given
##
C = \frac{A}{TB-TA}
##
the values for 90 and 180 degrees were quite close but @ 270, the value of C was an anomaly, I've checked the...
Ah I think I get it now, I was misunderstanding what steady state meant.
I have a question though, i was just wondering how the initial temperature of the box is taken into consideration when determining its final temperature
I.e.
##TB_{i} = initial temperature of box \\ \\
TB_{f} = final...
Does this mean I have to set the time interval beforehand? For example, i'd choose an interval of every 20 mins for both the calibration and the experiment? What if the temp doesn't stabilize after 20 mins though?
I think yes, my objective isn't to achieve stable temperatures, it's to replicate...
I'm not sure what steady state means, but if it means the point at which the temperature apparently stabilizes, then no.
I intend to predict what the temperatures would be after some time for a certain dimmer angle. This is in accordance with weather data found online which are usually...
Sorry about that. I do have knowledge of differential calculus but not too much on differential equations, and I definitely have almost little to no knowledge of the applications of calculus besides the typical examples found in books.
I'm trying to simulate weather conditions (only dry bulb...
I see. The box is around 0.5m on all sides on the inside. Will the equation hold?
I guess that simplifies the experiment quite a lot.
Just a question; If I want to somehow vary the time intervals
(e.g. for the first interval t=10 min, for the second interval t = 20min), do I do it like this...
Hi! thanks for the quick reply.
I'm not that familiar with the principles of thermodynamics but should I use the formula Q = cmΔT for solving heat? (particularly in Q1), i.e. should I use c = specific heat of air, and m = mass of air?
Also, just some clarifications to see if what I'm thinking...
I have some cubic box with light bulbs controlled by a dimmer. The dimmer is calibrated in degrees (0-270).
I need help in coming up with a function that would accurately predict what the temperature inside the box would be after say.. 5 or 10 minutes.
Basically, I need to come up with a...
