StarInfo/Allen/!Ignotum/Formulae/Formulae/Ther

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

H=mcT
When heating a mass:
H=change in energy
m=mass
c=specific heat capacity
T=temperature rise
U=Q+W
The 1st law of thermodynamics:
U=internal energy
Q=energy change
W=work done

dH/dt=T/R
dH/dt=heat flow
T=temperature difference
R=thermal resistance (see next equation)
(Analogy with current in circuits: I=V/R)

R=l/KA
R=thermal resistance
l=length
K=thermal conductivity
A=area
