heat transfer Flashcards
1
Q
what is kinetic energy
A
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
2
Q
what is thermal energy
A
is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
3
Q
what are the styles of heat transfer
A
convection
conduction
radiation
4
Q
what is conduction
A
Thermal energy from faster-moving, warmer particles is transferred to slower-moving, cooler particles
5
Q
what is convection
A
transfers thermal energy through the flow of particles in a liquid or gas. The movement of the heated material carries energy away from the heat source.
6
Q
what is radiation
A
carries thermal energy from object to object, even through empty space. When the waves strike a material, the particles in the material absorb energy and move faster.
