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.
