Study Notes
Heat Transfer
- Energy carriers involved in heat transfer are phonons (quanta of lattice vibrations) and photons (quanta of electromagnetic radiation)
- Heat is the thermal energy in transit due to a temperature difference
Energy Storage
- The state of energy stored within matter is described as internal energy
Heat Transfer Processes
- Heat transfer processes are governed by the laws of thermodynamics
- These processes occur at the atomic and molecular level
