Exam #1 Flashcards
diffusion
it is the movement of substances due to random thermanal molecular motion
equation for diffusion
Xmax =Sqrt(2Dt), where D is the constant, t is the time and the xrmax is the distance
temperature
scalar that quantifies how hot an object is ( this is not the same as heat)
temperature as a gas
proportional to the average kinetic energy. If there is going to be more movement when there is a higher kinetic energy
temperature scales
it is going to be a two special points and it is going to correspond to thermal equilibrium
Fahrenheit
9/5Tc+32
Celsius
5/9(Tf-32)
kelvin
Tc+273
heat
it is the transfer of energy from hot object to cold objects
which way is heat going to flow and why
heat is going to transfer from hot to cold because hot has larger internal energy
thermal equilibrium
when two objects of different temperatures are going to be at one spot eventually they are going to be the same temperature. it is also known as the zeroth law of thermodynamics
how quickly are things going to reach equilibrium
the rate of exchange depends on the material
conduction of heat
for there to be a transfer of heat, there has to be a physical touch.
what are the things that affect the conduction of heat
conduct area, boundary thickness, temperature difference, and the materials
thermal conductivity
how fast heat is going to travel a unit of a distance of a cross sectional area as a result of 1 K temperature
Thermal Conductivity
(j/(smk)
formula for thermal conductivity
Q/t=(kA(T2-T1)/d) the Q is the heat, t is the time, k is the constant, A is the surface Area, T is temperature, and d is the boundary thickness and the Q/t is the heat or the watts
heat capacity
amount of energy that is needs to be added to an object with a certain mass to increase/ decrease its temperature
How much heat is required to warm a 1kg iron pan from -10 c to 20 c . what temperature increase can you achieve if you add this heat to an equivalent mass f water
Cfe =452J/KgC
CH2O =4186
4,524 J ad 1.1 c
latent heat
this is created when there is not going to be a increase in temperature because there is a phase change
