Study Notes

Thermal Energy Transfer and Equilibrium

Exam: Tuesday 11/19 (P) and Wednesday 11/20 (R)
Topic: TEKS 7.8(A) and 7.8(B)
Content: Thermal Energy Transfer and Equilibrium
Preparation: Review Do Nows, DoLs, slides, and worksheets for Units 8 and 9, especially the Exam Review slides.

Do Now - Thermal Equilibrium

Scenario: A student experiment with two containers of water (one at 80°C, the other at 20°C).
Question: What is the final temperature when thermal equilibrium is reached?
Graph Analysis: The graph shows the temperatures of two containers of water over time as they exchange thermal energy.
Solution (Correct Answer): D. The final temperature will reach 50°C, as thermal energy transfers until both containers achieve thermal equilibrium halfway between their initial temperatures (50°C).

Thermal Energy Flow

General Principle: Thermal energy flows from hotter objects to colder objects.
Example (Water Bottle): On a hot day, a cold water bottle will absorb heat from the surrounding warmer air until both reach thermal equilibrium.
Example (Gases): In a closed system with two gases at different temperatures, thermal energy transfers from the hotter gas to the cooler gas until both have the same temperature.

Heat Transfer Mechanisms

Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact.
Convection: Heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves (e.g., sunlight).
Example 1 (Conduction): A metal spoon placed in hot soup gets warm because the heat from the soup travels through the spoon to the spoon's handle (conduction).
Example 2 (Convection): Hot air rises and cooler air sinks, causing convection currents (e.g., a hot air balloon).
Example 3 (Radiation): Sunlight reaches Earth through radiation. The sun's rays heat up surfaces on earth by radiation.
Example 4 (Boiling Water): Heat from a gas flame cause conduction and convection in the water causing it to boil.
