sending signals to muscles, causing them to contract, or to glands, causing. them to produce secretions. Neurons, or nerve cells, carry out the functions of the nervous system by. conducting nerve impulses.
Best Answer: Specific Heat is the energy required to raise EACH gram of a material by 1C. This is expressed in J/gC. The temperature change is 82.1C - 30.7C = 51.4C. The Aluminum weighs, not 1g, but 625g. m x c x Î´T = Q 29.5g x 0.45J/g/Â°C x (40 - 25Â°C) Î´T = 199.125 Joules (= 0.199kJ) of heat absorbed. (you can say 0.200kJ) If 8.4kJ was used as in your initial statement, to raise the temp. by 5Â°C, the mass of iron must have been much greater than 29.5g. or, 8.4kJ is an error. 29.5 x 0.45 x 5 = 66.4 kJ.
This is done with no moving parts by heating water in the PowerPot. Water holds several times more heat than aluminum per pound, so it makes a wonderful heatsink. Also, water never gets hotter than 212 F (100 C) at a boil, effectively limiting the maximum temperature of the âcoldâ side of the thermoelectric generator. This is why you always need to have something watery in the PowerPot or else it is possible to overheat the thermoelectric generator.
