Thermal Energy Transfer Flashcards
three ways that is transferred
convection
conduction
radiation
how does heat from sun warm up earth
- energy reachers earth via radiation
- convection currents in ocean and air distribute heater over large distances
- conduction allows for directs transfer between air and energy
amount of heat required to raise temp of 1g of sub by 1 ° C
specific heat capacity
what does higher heat capacity men in terms of energy required to heat it up
more energy
vice verse for lower heat capacity
how water moves through the hydrosphere and how it changes phase
water cycle
water cycles through atmosphere/lithosphere as it absorbs energy and changes phases
hydrologic cycle
fusion
melting
endothermic process
freezing
reverse of fusion
exothermic process
evaporation
liquid changes to gas
endothermic process
condensation
reverse of evaporation
exothermic process
changes in Kinetic energy result in what
temperature changes
changes in potential energy result in what
chase changes

Hfus
amount of energy required to convert 1 mol sub from liquid to gas
