Heat Transfer Flashcards
In an experiment a conical flask has a balloon attached to the top, then it is put in hot water. The balloon inflates/goes up- how does this happen?
The heat energy of the water cause the particles go vibrate faster and more apart from each other hitting the inside of the ballon. Since the particles have reached the inside of the balloon it cause it to inflate. If enough heat energy is given to the particles the balloon will pop.
What is the difference between heat and temperature?
Heat is a form of energy.
E.g. A bunsen burner gives out a lot of heat energy (a lot of fast moving particles).
Temperature is the measurement of how fast the particles are vibrating.
Temperature is the measurement of the average energy, which is related to the average kinetic energy or the particles you are measuring.
