Abstract
This paper briefly describes the different forms of heat transfer. Heat transfer is a process that occurs on the molecular level. The basics of the process are defined, with three heat transfer mechanisms identified-- conduction, convection and radiation.
From the Paper
"In metals, thermal energy is transported by conduction band electrons. This is based on understanding molecular orbital bands. This refers to solids that form a lattice, including metals. These lattice metals are understood by looking at the lattice itself as one large molecule rather than looking at it as individual atoms. The electron orbitals of the atoms overlap, creating a continuous band covering a range of energies that extends throughout the lattice (Shriver, D.F., Atkins, P.W., & Langford, C.H. Inorganic Chemistry. New York: Oxford University Press, 1994, p. 91)."

Abstract
This paper examines how F. Scott Fitzgerald in his novel "The Great Gatsby", uses heat to convey the confusion of Daisy and the tension that surrounds her as she is reunited with her long-lost love Jay Gatsby. It evaluates how from the time that Daisy is reunited with Gatsby until she makes her decision to stay with her husband Tom, Fitzgerald makes continual references to heat to intensify the emotions and represent the building tension of the scenes.
From the Paper
"Once Nick and Gatsby arrive at the Buchanan household, talk of the heat is unrelenting. Numerous references are made about the heat by the characters, but it is Daisy who whines and complains about it. The other characters are not seen complaining about it. ?It?s so hot,? insists Daisy, on the verge of tears. ?And everything?s so confused.? (125) The fact that Daisy is the one complaining of the heat, while others are merely talking of it suggests that it is Daisy who is closest to the heat and therefore is the primary cause of it. The others are shown, although they are players in the situation, as being bystanders in the heat that surrounds her. The confusion she speaks of while complaining about the heat, suggests that her confusion is directly related to the heat."

Li Yu?s ?A Tower for the Summer Heat?, 2004.
This paper discusses a book by Li Yu, who was born during the fall of Ming dynasty, called ?A Tower for the Summer Heat?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that many of the themes Li Yu wrote and the way he narrated stories were very unusual at the time; he narrated his story, ?A Tower for the Summer Heat?, in the third person and, at the end of each chapter, he would break off from the storyline to start a small conversation with the reader. The author points out that, besides the story being comically funny, one important aspect to understand is that Li Yu was using the story to break social taboos on sex and marriages. The paper relates that, at the time Li Yu wrote, most marriages were arranged by parents, and people did not have a choice of marrying someone they found sexually attractive.
From the Paper
"Jiren also broke traditional conformity by creating adultery. Traditionally, you could only have sex with your wife but Jiren had sex with all the maids without being married to them. By making this character break many social norms, Li Yu is able to make his readers reflect on those norms and decide whether or not Jiren should be admired or detested for breaking them. In fact, it seems that Li Yu is actually encouraging his readers to engage in discussion about this topic and express their opinions. This is evident by his use of narration."

Abstract
This is a technical report on a laboratory experiment determining heating value of fuels. Test sample is naphthalene, and the calibrating substance is benzoic acid. The oxygen bomb calorimeter used is the Parr type.
From the Paper
"The experiment aims to determine the heat of combustion of naphthalene using data obtained from the Parr bomb calorimeter.
Three 1-g portions of naphthalene were weighed using the analytical balance. Benzoic acid is the calibrating substance used for the experiment. The heat capacity Csys of the system is calculated using the theoretical value of benzoic acid and the nickel fuse wire. This Csys is equivalent to the heat capacity Ccal of the calorimeter; this value will be used in determining the heat of combustion of naphthalene.
The heat of combustion of naphthalene is accepted at
?5156.95 KJ/mol. The experimental value ?3787.445097 KJ/mol has an error of 26.56%."

Abstract
This paper talks about the ways in which the shuttle is designed to overcome basic heat transfer problems during launch, orbit and re-entry. The main points in this paper are the active and passive systems in the TPS and the history of the shuttle design.
From the Paper
"10...9...8...Patiently the Space Shuttle waits on the launch pad...7...6... everything is in place...5...4... all functions are working properly...3... the conditions are comfortable on the coast of Florida, and the temperature is nice and warm...2...1... IGNITION! (Figure #1) The sudden burn of the rockets jolts the humongous craft to life. As streams of flame shoot out its lower portion, the craft begins to inch skyward. In no time its speed has increased, and it begins hurtling through the air towards its mission. While still inside Earth's atmosphere, the airflow over the Shuttle begins to warm the craft's surface, until it becomes "white hot." Then, the craft breaks free of the atmosphere's restraints, plunging into the freezing void of outer space. The Space Shuttle must be able to withstand these temperature extremes and still accomplish its mission objectives. After the mission, as the craft returns to Earth, it again encounters tremendously high temperatures as it re-enters Earth's atmosphere. The Shuttle encounters a lot of atmospheric resistance and slows itself down through this phase, then finally glides to a comfortable rest at Edwards Air Force Base in sunny Southern California, where the astronauts and craft must prepare to begin the process all over again. These intense hot and cold extremes drive scientists and design engineers as they work to control the internal temperature of the space shuttle throughout the various phases of its journey. They do this by using many creative systems such as specially designed tiles and radiator systems, to both reflect and radiate heat that would otherwise be dangerous to the craft and crew."

Abstract
This paper examines the themes of prejudice and discrimination in the 1967 movie, "In the Heat of the Night". It also looks at how race relations in the North and South are portrayed before discussing the realism of behavior in the film. Finally, the paper looks at how the 1967 movie compares to the later 1988 version.
From the Paper
"Race relations between the north and south were strained for many years before and after the Civil War; it has only been in the last 2 decades that we have witnessed abolition of such antiquated and unfair treatment of blacks and whites in respective areas of the country.
Skin color seems to presume guilt in this movie; when it emerges that Tibbs is a homicide investigator from Philadelphia, quick and able to solve the murder of the opportunistic business owner, the protagonist subtly shifts from Gillespie to Tibbs without obvious reversion in making Gillespie an antagonist."

Abstract
When steel is heat treated, the size and morphology of its phases are changed. The samples used in this paper are AISI 1045 and 4140 steels. Four samples each of AISI 1045 and AISI 4140 are shown to be subjected to annealing and quenching while eight samples of AISI 1045 are subjected to tempering. Photomicrographs and hardness of each sample are taken. From the results, the paper shows that quenching increases the hardness of steel and increasing the cooling rate increases the hardness of the sample due to the formation of fine grains of pearlite. Increasing the tempering temperature reduces the hardness of a specimen. The paper includes graphs.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Experimental Section
Results and Discussion
Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"Theoretically, a quenched specimen should be harder than tempered specimens. This is due to the interstitial carbon atoms that deter dislocations along the lattice. The relatively higher hardness of a quenched specimen may also be attributed to the few slip systems of the BCT crystal structure. From the microstructure, the trapped carbon atoms are evident as the black regions."

Abstract
As the space shuttle Columbia began its re-entry into Earth?s atmosphere on February 1, 2003, it began to break up. While the exact cause of the shuttle break up is still being investigated, there are many theories being considered, many of which have to do with heating tiles under the shuttle. The paper examines the process of an air-shuttle's re-entry into the atmosphere and shows where things could have gone wrong with Columbia.
From the Paper
"In the final stage, the shuttle approaches the upper atmosphere and enters the ionization blackout. In the ionization blackout, hot ionized gases of the atmosphere surround the shuttle. This prevents radio communication with mission control for the about twelve minutes. At this point the shuttle is traveling at 17,000 mph. As the shuttle collides with air molecules, friction is generated which leads to surface temperatures of around 3000 F. The steep angle of re-entry ensures that most of the aerodynamic heating is directed towards the underside of the shuttle where the heat resistant tiles offer the greatest amount of protection. As the atmosphere thickens, the shuttle's thrusters are eventually switched off, at which point the shuttle?s aerodynamic flight features kick in, and it can be flown like an airplane."

How Hemothermophiles Take the Heat and Love It, 1997.
A look at these fascinating organisms which thrive at high temperatures, and how they are able to do so.

From the Paper
" Hyperthermophiles are a group microorganisms that have optimum growth temperature of at least 80? C, and a maximum growth temperature of over 90? C (Rees et al, 1995). They thrive in temperatures much higher than any other animal can. Most enzymes isolated from these hyperthermophiles exhibit correspondingly enhanced thermostability. In order to answer the questions posed above, an understanding of how these enzymes are able to withstand higher than normal temperatures is needed. Some of this can be found out by studying hyperthermophilic proteins in comparison to their mesophilic counterparts. Presently, only a few molecular determinants of protein structural and functional stability are known, which is not enough to know how to "make your blood boil". "
