Study Notes
Heat Transfer
- Heat is transferred from warmer objects to cooler objects.
- This flow is called thermal energy transfer.
Types of Heat Transfer
- Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact. Molecules collide, transferring energy.
- Example: Spoon in a hot pot.
- Convection: Heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Hot fluids rise, cool fluids sink, creating currents.
- Example: Water in a pot heating.
- Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves. No direct contact needed.
- Example: Heat from a campfire.
Vocabulary
- Conductor: Material that readily transfers heat. (e.g., metals, like copper).
- Insulator: Materials that do not readily transfer heat. (e.g., fiberglass, foam).
- Temperature: Average kinetic energy of atoms in a material. Measures how hot or cold an object is.
- Heat: Transfer of thermal energy from one object to another.
- Thermal Energy: Energy within a system due to the random motion of atoms and molecules.
- Specific Heat: Amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a sample of matter 1 degree. Each substance has its own specific heat value.
- Calorimeter: Device used to measure heat transfer.
Example of Conduction
- A piece of cheese melts when heat from the meat transfers to the cheese.
Example of Convection
- Warm air rises, cool air descends, causing air movements in a room, or in a pot heating on a stove.
Example of Radiation
- Heat escaping the sun. Fire. Heat Lamps.
Uses of Heat Transfer Principles in Daily Life
- HVAC systems
- Refrigerators
- Cooking
- Weather patterns
- Body temperature regulation.
- Thermal sleeping bags and coats.
