9) Is it possible to add heat to a material without changing its temperature? Explain.?

Answer 1

Yes, this is called latent heat. The best example of this, is if you are boiling water at atmospheric pressure at sea level. If you placed a thermometer in this steadily heating water the temp would rise in a fairly uniform manner to about 96 degrees celsius, where upon it would seem to get stuck. The reason being, the heat energy is being used up to change the state of matter of the liquid water to steam. Until this transition is complete there will be no change in sensible heat as measured at the thermometer. Jules, lecturer. Australia.

Answer 2

Yes. There is a technology that allows the stealth figher to disperse the heat of it's exhaust across the entire length of both wings, which disapates the heat with some form of top secret military substance that does not absorb heat, but hides the heat signature of the plane and gives it the heat signature = to a honey bee.

Answer 3

yes. but not in everyday life. The only way to do this would be to have a chain of heat exchange. you would need the heat or "delta" going to either an endothermic or exothermic material with the opposite type of material on the other side. so in essences the first material would not change temperature but the last one in the chain would.

Answer 4

I think it might not be very a distant possibility to add heat to a body without changing its temperature

Answer 5

Yes. When ice melts, because you add heat, its temperature stays at 0 centigrades.
When any solid melts, because you add heat, its temperature stays at its melting point..This an isotherm process.
An other one is boiling a liquid.

Answer 6

Yes, that is what happens when a solid melts or a liquid boils off. Heat is being added but temp. remains constant, this is also known as the latent heat.

Answer 7

yes the space shuttle tiles do just that they absorb heat and give off nothing pretty cool

Answer 8

hhwhat?
