Liquid Metal Boiling Points Specific Heat

Overview

Engineering reference data for Liquid Metal Boiling Points Specific Heat in thermodynamics.

Key Formulas

First Law

$\Delta U = Q - W$

Energy is conserved — heat added minus work done.

Ideal Gas Law

$PV = nRT$

Relates pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.

Heat Transfer

$Q = mc\Delta T$

Sensible heat transfer.

Carnot Efficiency

$\eta = 1 - T_C/T_H$

Maximum efficiency between two temperatures.

Important Notes

• Vapor Pressure & Boiling Point: The boiling point of a liquid metal is dependent on the ambient pressure. Data is provided at two standard reference pressures: 10⁻³ atm and 10⁻⁶ atm.
• Specific Heat: This is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the liquid metal by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin).
• Unit Conversion: The specific heat is given in both calorie and SI units. 1 cal/g·°C = 4.1868 kJ/kg·°C.

Pressure Unit Conversions

For reference, 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 1.013 bar = 14.696 psi = 760 torr.
