Chapter 10 + 11 Flashcards
From which direction does heat travel?
From region of high temp. to region of low temp
How is energy transffered?
When A is heated,
* energy in kinetic store increases
* particles move faster
* energy transfer indicated by temp.
What is conduction?
process of energy transfer through the passing on of vibrational motion from one particle to another
What are the two Working Principles of Conduction?
- Vibration of particles
- Electron Diffusion
How is heat conducted via vibration of particles?
both metals and non-metals
when A is heated.
* particles **vibrate more vigorously **about fixed position
* **colliding **with neighbouring particles
* transfer their energy to particle’s kinetic store
* neighbouring particles vibrate as well
* process repeats
How is conducted via electron diffusion?
only metals
When A is heated,
* free electrons near heat source gain energy
* move to cooler end to transfer energy those particles through collision
* particles gain energy and vibrate
What are the factors affercting the rate of conduction?
- Good thermal conducters
- Poor thermal conductors
What is convection?
process of energy transfer by means of convection current (only liquid and gas) due to differences in density
Describe how convection occurs in a liquid.
- water near heat source gains heat, expand and loses density
- less dense water rises, pushing the more dense water to the bottom
- the more dense water will be heated, expand, lose density
- repeats
What is radiation?
process of energy transfer by electromagnetic waves, does not require medium
What are the factors of radiation?
1) Temperature (Higher temp, better emitter of radiation)
2) Type of Surface (Rough, dark coloured, better emitter of radiation)
3) Exposed Surface area ( Larger surface area, better emitter of radiation)
Describe the movement of particles in a SOLID
- held together by VERY strong forces of attraction
- unable to move about freely
- vibrate about in fixed positions
Describe the arrangement of particles in a SOLID
- packed VERY closely together
- in a fixed, regular pattern
Describe the movement of particles in a LIQUID
- held by strong forces of attraction
- able to slide past one another
Describe the arrangment of particles in a LIQUID
- packed closely
- fixed regular pattern
Describe the movement of particles in a GAS
- held together by weak forces of attraction
- move in random direction
