Calculation of heat input

We learn to calculate how much energy a lamb has in its bodies.

It is important to emphasize that we do not calculate how much heat is in a body in total. We calculate how much energy needs to be added to the body or how much energy is released when the body's temperature changes by a certain number of degrees.

Let's start by trying to establish hypotheses about which properties of the body depend on the amount of heat stored in them.

Which bodies can store more heat?

What properties of the body depend on how much heat is released when they cool down, or how much more heat needs to be added to them to raise their temperature? Think about it. Answer the question.

Moving step by step, you could next familiarize yourself with the concept of specific heat of a substance and try to connect it with the discussions on the previous slide.

What is specific heat and what does it measure?

Let's define the concept of specific heat. Let's try to apply it by answering the questions.

Now the formula or model:

How do I calculate the heat flux?

What properties of the body do we need to know in order to calculate the amount of heat required to heat it or the amount of heat released when it cools? Let's get acquainted with the formula.
