Heat Transfer Physics Flashcards
What is evaporation
Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas
Clouds
What is condensation
Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid
Shower
What are the factors that affect the rate of evaporation
Heat (temperature)
Surface area
Airflow
What are the factors that effect the rate of condensation ?
Decrease of temperature
Decrease of airflow
What is conduction
Conduction is heat energy that is passed though materials.
Atoms in the material vibrate.
The more energy they have the more they vibrate
A Frying pan
What is convection?
Convection is the circulation of the (fluid liquid or gas) cause by heating it. It can only happened in liquid or a gas
Radiator
What surface admit more inferred radiation?
Black, Matt surface admit more radiation.
