One of the most important properties of water relevant to its use in hydronic systems is specific heat.
Pregunta 2
Pregunta
If the material changes phase while absorbing heat, its temperature will change.
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
The specific heat of water is high in comparison to other common materials. In fact, water has one of the highest specific heats of any known material.
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
The difference in heat capacity of water versus that of air is the single greatest advantage of using water rather than air to convey heat.
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
The density of water is not dependent on temperature.
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
It is often necessary to determine the quantity of heat stored in a given amount of material that undergoes a specific temperature change. An equation known as the sensible heat quantity equation, can be used for this purpose.
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
The quantity of heat absorbed or released from the material is expressed as Btu/hr.

Pregunta
The rate of heat transfer into or out of the fluid stream in equations is expressed as Btu.
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
The vapor pressure of a liquid is the minimum pressure that must be applied at the liquid's surface to prevent it from boiling.
