formula for heat retention
« on: February 29, 2008, 07:05:51 PM »
Does anyone know if there's a formula to find the heat retention of water and if there's a formula to find how increases in salt would change the heat retention?

Perhaps you'd like to start with Heat Capacity {click} , then move on from there with the specifics of your application.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
