Heat Flashcards
Effects of heat
Expansion
Change in state
Change in temperature
Chemical changes
We wear woolen clothes in winter to keep ourself warm
Air, Which is the bad conductor does not allow our body heat to escape
Mercurys used in thermometer
Is a good conductor of heat
The process of transfer of heat in solids from origin of higher temperature to region lower temperature without the actual moment of molecules called
Conduction
The flow of heat through a fluid from places of higher temperature to place of lower temperature by a movement of fluid itself
Convection
Examples of convention in daily life
1 Hot air balloon
2 breeze (land breeze and sea breeze)
3 wind
4 chimney
Radiation is the flow of heat from one place to another by means of _______
Electromagnetic waves
Radiation is limited by all bodies above
0K
We can observe all the 3 ways of heat transfer
Wiring wood
White or light coloured crackers are good reflector of heat
They keep us cool during summer
Base of cooking utensils is blackened
Because black surface observe more heat from the surroundings
Surface of airplanes highly polished
Because it help to reflect most of the heat radiation from the Sun
_____ is there degree of hotness or coldness of the body
Temperature
Kelvin scale is also known as
Absolute scale
Fahrenheit scale
32-212°F
Celsius scale
0-100°C
Formula for convertian Celsius scale to fahrenheit scale
F=9/5C+32
C=5/9(F-32)
Temperature at which is the molecules of a substance have thier lowest possible energy
0K
SI unit of temperature
Kelvin
The solid liquid gases faces of water can co exist in equilibrium at
273.16K
Kelvin is defined as
1/273.16 of the triple point of temperature
If Fahrenheit scale is 0°F then Kelvin and Celsius scale will be
-18°C and 255K
Vice versa
