C.8 Heat Transfers by Convection and Radiation Flashcards
What is Convection?
Heat is transferred when liquid or gas particles move from one area to another
What are Convection Currents?
What are Convection Currents?The particles in a liquid or a gas move in circular patterns when heated
What is Radiation?
The transfer of energy by invisible waves that can travel great distances
What are Radiation Currents?
Energy transferred from its source by radiation
why can’t convection occur in solids
the articles in solids can not move with the some freedom liquid and gas can
why do liquid and gas particles move in a circular pattern when heated
heated particles rise (less dense), then cool off and sink (become more dense)
what happens to particles when radiant energy comes in contact with them?
Darlicles in crease thierkinet energy (mover and more)
