Overview

Engineering reference data for Melting Boiling Temperatures in thermodynamics.

Key Formulas

First Law

ΔU=QW\Delta U = Q - W

Energy is conserved — heat added minus work done.

Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRTPV = nRT

Relates pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.

Heat Transfer

Q=mcΔTQ = mc\Delta T

Sensible heat transfer.

Carnot Efficiency

η=1TC/TH\eta = 1 - T_C/T_H

Maximum efficiency between two temperatures.

Conversion Formulas

The relationship between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) is given by:

tC=59(tF32)t_C = \frac{5}{9} (t_F - 32)

Common energy density conversions for latent heat:

1 kJ/kg=0.4299 Btu/lbm=0.23884 kcal/kg1 \text{ kJ/kg} = 0.4299 \text{ Btu/lbm} = 0.23884 \text{ kcal/kg}

Data Notes

  • The data table represents standard atmospheric pressure conditions.
  • null values indicate missing data in the original source.
  • Latent Heat of Melting (LfL_f) is the energy required to change a unit mass from solid to liquid at the melting point.
  • Latent Heat of Evaporation (LvL_v) is the energy required to change a unit mass from liquid to gas at the boiling point.
