Latent heat of fusion is the heat given up as a substance freezes. The latentheat of fusion for water is 144 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Thismeans that 144 Btu are given up for each pound of water that freezes. Howmany British thermal units of heat are given up when 4,000 pounds of waterfreeze?

If 250(ft)3(s) of air at 122(°F) and approximately atmospheric pressure is preheated for a combustion process to 932(°F), what rate of heat transfer is required?
the specific heat (cp or cv) can also be understood as a "capacity or ability of a given material to store "heat". In this way, we can say that: 1- the greater the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material.2- the higher the specific heat, the lower the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material3- the lower the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material4- the lower the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change5-the higher the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change choose only one of the above alternatives as correct
