Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics
- Heat is energy transferred due to a temperature difference.
- Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, and radiation.
- Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material.
- Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.
- Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
- The rate of heat transfer is proportional to the temperature difference and the area of contact.
- The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of how well it conducts heat.
- Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical energy.
