AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a formula that connects current, resistance, and heat production in a liquid medium, similar to heating elements. A key formula mentioned is R*I^2 = T, which may have limitations depending on the materials used. Participants are seeking clarification on the equivalence of different formulas related to heat generation. Additionally, there is a request for resources on specific heat tables, with a reference to a handbook that includes this information. The conversation emphasizes the need for accurate formulas and reliable resources in understanding thermal dynamics in aqueous systems.

Im trying to find a formula(s) that link current to resistance to the heat produced by the resistance, simaliar to a heating element only it would be a liquid or aqueous medium
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Ah, that helps, I also came across R*I^2 =T, for future referance are these equivalent in some aspect, I am guessing this one has some limitation in regards to what materials it can be used for.

Also does someone on here have a good resource for specific heat tables?
 
The "Handbook" has these tables I think.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
