Heat transfer Flashcards
Law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be created or destroyed just transfered.
Heat
thermal energy that flows due to a difference in tempercure heat flows from hot to cold.
Heat transfer
method by which heat flows condouction, convection,radiation
conduction
Heat transfer within or between solid objects
convection
heat transfer into or out of fluids
radiation
Heat transfer due to the packets of energy called photons that can travel through many substances
insilater
a material in which energy cannot be easily transferd.
conductor
a material thorough energy can be easily transfered
tempercure
the measure of average speed of all particles.
thermal energy
the total energy of all particles in an object
