Tempature And Heat Flashcards
When preforming calculations for Charles what are the conversions for F° to R(rankine) and for C° to K(kelvin)
Whatever temp in F° is plus 460°f
Eg: 100°f+460°f=560R
Whatever temp in C° is plus 270°
Eg: 100°c+273°c= 373K
What does this formula represent and what do the letters mean
Charles law
V1=original volume
V2=new volume
T1=original temp
T2=new temp
Types of heat transfer
Conduction, convection, radiation
Define Conduction
Transfer of heat through direct contact
Define convection
Transfer of heat within gases and liquids by difference of density
Define radiation
The transmission of heat through a space by means of electromagnetic infrared heat
Define coefficient of linear expansion
The amount a material will expand for every degree of temp change
What is sensible heat
Heat can be measured with a thermometer
3 devices used to prevent damage from expansion and contraction
Expansion joints
expansion loops
Swing joints
2 types of pipe control devices that use expansion and contraction
Bi metal strips
Rod and tube
Heat always travels from?
The warmer body to the colder
