Energy & Heat Transfer Flashcards
Thermal Energy
Total energy of particles in a substance
Heat
Movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to another at a lower temperature
Temperature
Measure of average kinetic energy of particles of a substance
Heat vs Temperature vs Thermal Energy
Look at I.N page 97
Thermal Examples : Heat vs Thermal Energy
Look at I.N page 98
Thermal Equilibrium
When something warm is in contact with something cool
Thermal Energy Transfer
Transferred by infrared radiation
Thermal Energy and Mass
Does vary with the mass of a substance
Temperature Scales : Celsius vs Kelvin
The Kelvin degree is the same size as the Celsius degree
Kinetic Energy and Particle Hands
Movement of particles of a substance (Particle Hands)
Conduction
Transfer of heat through direct contact
Examples on I.N page 104
Convection
Transfer of heat in a fluid through currents
Examples on I.N page 104
What is a Fluid?
A substance that is capable of flowing
Is Air a Fluid?
Yes because fluid can be a gas
Radiation
Heat traveling through space via electromagnetic waves
Examples on I.N page 104
