As I understand it, the whole point of cooking a turkey is to take it at some temperature and then increase it to a higher temperature. Sure, maybe there's something about family togetherness in there ...
An electric heater supplies 13500 joules of heat energy to a metal block of mass \(0.5kg\). The temperature of the block rises from \(20^{\circ}C\) to \(80^{\circ}C\) during the heating process.
You may be familiar with the formula BTUH = CFM x ΔT x 1.08. This same formula is often rearranged to use for determining airflow by measuring the heat input and temperature rise. The factor 3.41 ...
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of thermal energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1°C. Different substances have different specific heat ...
