102A Flashcards
Sensible heat is heat we can
Sense
Specific heat is the
Amount of Heat required to change 1lb of a substance by 1 Fahrenheit degree
Heat is energy
In the form of molecular motion
Superheating is adding
Sensible heat to a vapour while remaining at the same pressure
If sensible heat is removed this is called
desuperheating
Sub cooling takes place in a liquid when it’s
Temperature is lowered below the boiling point while at the boiling pressure
Three methods of heat transfer
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Thermodynamics is the study of
Changing heat energy into mechanical energy
The first law of thermodynamics
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Second law of thermodynamics is
Heat energy from a zone of high heat to a zone of low heat
