ZEROTH LAW THERMODYNAMICS

35
Q

transferred between a system and its environment because of temperature difference that exists between them

A

HEAT

36
Q

Temperature difference is also called

A

TEMPERATURE GRADIENT

37
Q

BASIC UNIT OF HEAT

A

JOULE

38
Q

Amount of heat that it takes to increase the temperature of 1g of water 1C degree at 15 degree Celsius.

A

Calorie

39
Q

1 cal = Joules

A

4.186 Joules

40
Q

1Kcal = Joules

A

4186 Joules

41
Q

Amount of heat transferred (Q)

A

Q = mcΔT

m = mass
c = specific capacity
ΔT = Final T. - Initial T.

42
Q

Methods of Heat Transfer:

Two objects that are touching each other. Collisions between small particles allow fast moving, or vibrating, particles to give some of their microscopic kinetic energy to slower particles.

A

CONDUCTION

43
Q

Methods of Heat Transfer

caused by moving fluids, where particles can mix together, move faster, and spread out, thus distributing their thermal energy

A

CONVECTION

44
Q

occurs without the movement of matter; made of EM waves given off by moving particles; absorbed by materials

A

RADIATION

45
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

ALL TEMPERATURE CHANGES NEED NOT BE DUE TO HEAT ALONE

A

TRUE

46
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

ALL HEAT INTERACTION NEED NOT RESULT IN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE

A

TRUE
