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.
