The basic requirement for heat transfer.
Presence of temperature difference
A form of energy that can be transferred from one system to another as a result of temperature difference
heat
The theory proposed by Antoine Lavoisier that states heat is a fluid-like substance.
Caloric theory
The person who challenged the caloric theory through experiments in 1843.
James P. Joule
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only change forms
The first law of thermodynamics.or the Conservation of Energy
The unit of energy in the SI system.
Joule (J)
The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water at 14.5°C by 1°C.
Calorie
The term for the sum of all microscopic forms of energy of a system.
Internal energy
The rate of heat transfer per unit area normal to the direction of heat transfer.
Heat flux
The mode of heat transfer that involves the transfer of energy from more energetic particles to adjacent less energetic ones.
Conduction
The equation known as Fourier’s law of heat conduction.
kA t1-t2 over L
The unit of power.
Watt (W)
The type of energy associated with the atomic bonds in a molecule.
Chemical energy
The material described as having a high value of thermal conductivity, meaning it is a good heat conductor.
High thermal conductivity
The energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
Work
The type of energy associated with the phase of a system.
Latent energy
The energy balance equation for a stationary closed system with no work involved.
ΔU=Q-W
