AI Thread Summary
To measure the amount of heat entering a system with air at a constant temperature and known flow rate, additional data is required, specifically the specific heat capacity of the air. The heat transfer can be calculated using the formula Q = m * Cp * ΔT, where m is the mass flow rate, Cp is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change. In the given example, with air at 330K and a flow rate of 30CFM, the heat entering can be determined if the temperature change is known. Without considering heat dissipation or exit heat, the focus remains solely on the energy transfer into the system. Accurate measurements and calculations are essential for determining the heat entering the system effectively.

If air at a constant temperature is entering the system at a known flow rate, Can we measure the amount of heat entering the system.

For example, air at 330K is entering a system with a constant flow rate of 30CFM, can I measure heat entering this system. (Let just say we are not considering the heat dissipation or heat leaving from the system for now)

Or do I need more data to find heat entering this system?

Is not heat the amount of energy that is transferred from one system to another?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
