1-1. Distinguish between heat and temperature.

 heat is a form of energy, while temperature is how hot or
cold something is. 

1-2. Define the properties of:

a. Density
 is the measure of mass per unit volume of a substance.

b. Specific heat
 is the amount of heat that must be added or removed from one
pound of substance to change its temperature by one degree.

c. Specific heat capacity

 is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the
mass of the sample.

1-3. Distinguish between sensible heat and latent heat.

 Latent heat is related to changes in phase between liquids, gases,
and solids. Sensible heat is related to changes in temperature of a
gas or object with no change in phase.

1-4. Describe psychrometrics.

 Psychometrics is a field of study concerned with the theory and
technique of psychological measurement.

1-5. Describe the psychrometric variables.

 Psychrometric variables are used as units of measurements in
psychometrics.

1-17. Convert a temperature of 22°C to:

a. °F b. R c. K

Solution:
a. (1.8 ×22 ℃)+32=71.6 ℉
b. [ ( 1.8 ×22 ℃ )+ 32 ] + 459.67=531.27 R
c. 22 ℃+ 273.15=295.15 K

1-18. Ten pounds of liquid water is at a temperature of 180°F at standard

atmospheric conditions. Determine the energy required to convert this to water
vapor (steam) at a temperature of 212°F.

Solution:
Given: m = 10 pounds, T1 = 180°F, T2 = 212°F
Specific heat of water (c) = 1.00 Btu/lb . °F
Latent heat of vaporization (Hvap) = 970.3 Btu/lb

Two heats to consider: energy required to change in temperature from T1 to T2 and from latent
heat of vaporization

Formulas to be used:
 Q=cm ∆T
 Q=m H vap

Determine energy required from change in temperature,

Btu
(
Q 1=cm∆ T = 1.00
lb )
∙ ℉ ( 10 lb )( 212 ℉−180 ℉ )=320 Btu

Determine energy required to from latent heat of vaporization,

Btu
(
Q 2=m H vap= (10 lb ) 970.3
lb )
=9703 Btu

Determine QT,
Q t =Q 1+ Q 2=320 Btu +9703 Btu=10 023 Btu
