Heat Of Stuff And More Laws Flashcards
Charles’s law
A law which states that the volume of a gas increases as its temperature increases if the pressure stays the same
Boyle’s law
A law which states that the volume of a gas decreases as its pressure increases if the temperature stays the same
Conduction
The transfer of heat energy by direct contact between particles
Convection
Heat transfer that occurs in moving fluids
Heat
The total energy of all the particles in a sample of matter
Heat engine
A device that changes the heat energy from burning fuel into mechanical energy
Heat of fusion
The amount of Heat energy that will change a solid at its melting to a liquid at the same temperature
Heat of vaporization
The amount of Heat energy that will change a liquid at its boiling point to a gas at the same temperature
Kinetic theory
A theory that says that all matter is made up of particles that are in constant motion
Pressure
Force acting on a unit area
Radiation
The transfer of energy by waves
Specific Heat
The amount of Heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by at least on degree Celsius
Temperature
A measure of the average kinetic energy in a sample of matter
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius
C=F-32/1.8
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit
F=C•1.8+32
