The use of nanocomposites, which use small-scale particle fillers to enhance the characteristics of thermoplastics and thermosets, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For instance, ...

In this Weather Wednesday, we dive into the science behind why water heats up and cools down much more slowly than air.

When a mass of material adsorbs heat energy its temperature increases. The temperature rise DT is related to the heat transfer DQ through the Heat Capacity C: ...

Quite some years ago I examined how, if we know the specific heat capacity of a particular thing, we can make an estimate of the time constant of that particular thing undergoing a thermal excursion ...
