    Study Notes

    The Nature of Heat

    • Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another.
    • Count Rumford used observations about friction to change the way scientists look at heat.
    • Heat conductivity is the rate at which a material can transfer heat.
    • Metals are good conductors of heat, while non-metals are poor conductors.
    • Heat transfer can be used to protect engines from heat damage.

    Keeping it Cool

    • Thermal energy can be transferred from one object to another through conduction.
    • Evaporation removes energy as water molecules move from liquid to gas.
    • Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact.
    • Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids.
    • Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

    Heat Transfer

    • Heat transfer plays an important role in how the Earth's climate is controlled.
    • Sea breezes occur when air over the land is warmed by the sun, causing lower air pressure and creating a breeze.
    • Land breezes occur when air over the sea is cooled by the ocean, causing higher air pressure and creating a breeze.
