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.
The spec plate on my existing furnace (circa 1988) lists a temperature rise of 65F-95F. New furnaces being offered to me are specified with 25F-55F, or perhaps 35F-65F temperature rise. Using a thermometer I have measured the input (return) air and the output (supply) air in the main ducts near my furnace.
