ENEGY MATTERS; Heat In The Home Flashcards
What is temperature?
A measure of how hot a substance is measured in degrees Celsius,
What is heat?
An energy form measured in joules.
Heat always moves from a _____ substance to a ______ substance.
Hotter to colder.
Give the three ways in which heat can move?
Conduction, convection and radiation.
Heat is the transfer if heat in _____ materials.
Solid
What is conduction?
Particles in a solid vibrate, passing heat from particle to particle.
Materials which allow heat to move easily thorough them are called…. And those who do not are good
Conductors and insulators.
Convection occurred in
Liquids and gases
What is convection?
Heated fluid that is less dense than cold fluids rises so cold fluid falls to take its place. (Convention current)
What is radiation?
Infrared rays .
What type of material gives out radiation?
All hot materials?
What is the only material that can travel through a vacuum?
Radiation eg sun to earht
How to reduce conduction heat loss in the home
Loft insulation, double glazing (vacuum), carpets
How to reduce convection heat loss in the home
Stop draughts, special foam in walls
How to reduce radiation heat loss in the home
Foil baked radiators
The amount of heat energy needed to heat an object relies on..
the temperature rise, the mass of the object,
Amount of heat loss in homes depend on the temperature _____ compared to the temperature ______.
Outside inside.
What is specific heat capacity?
The amount of energy required to change 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius,
What is the units of specific heat capacity?
Joules per kilogram per degrees Celsius or J/kg/*C
Energy required is equal to
Specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature
During a change in state does the temperature of a material change?
Nooooooooo
what is the principal of conservation of energy?
Although energy changes to deferent forms no energy is ever gained or lost
Why will some heat energy be transferred to its surroundings?
Due to convection, conduction and radiation
What is latent heating of vaporisation?
The amount of energy required to change 1kg of a liquid at its boiling point to 1kg of gas without a change in temperature.
