Chapter 10 Heat Transfer Flashcards
a bimetallic strip is made up of two metals that ______ __ _________ _____ upon the same change in temperature
expand at different rates
metals have ____ ________ ________ so it is a good conductor of ____
free electron movement , heat
define conduction
it is the transfer of thermal energy without the physical movement of the medium in contact
how does conduction work
particles at the heated end gain thermal energy and vibrate faster and these particles collide with their neighbouring particles and transfer energy to them till the particles at the cooler end also vibrate faster
define conduction
it is the transfer of heat through a medium by the movement of fluid due to difference in density
define radiation
radiation is the transfer of heat infrarared radiation
black is a good ________ and good _______ but a bad _________
absorber , emitter , reflector
white / silver is a good _________ but a bad ________ and a bad ________
reflector , emitter , absorber
