HEAT TRANSFER Flashcards
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of an object because of motion.
What is heat?
The flow of energy from warmer places to cooler places due to different in temperature.
What is temperature?
Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object or substance.
What is thermal energy?
The total energy of all the moving particles of an object.
What is thermal equilibrium?
When heat flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object until they are equal.
Convection
The transfer of heat in a fluid where hotter, less dense fluids rise, and cooler, more dense fluids sink.
Conduction
The transfer of heat energy through solid material by touching or direct contact
Radiation
The transfer of heat through empty space by invisible, electromagnetic waves.
