week 7 kinetic molecular theory etc. Flashcards
heat is __ that is transferred as a result of a temperature difference, as such it can be viewed as an __ flow
energy
energy flow
what is Brownian motion?
attractive and repulsive forces between H2O molecules making their motion quite random
think of brownies randomly moving around
heat is thermal__, whereas temperature is the quantitative measurement of that __
energy
energy
What is standard temperature in Kelvin?
273 K
anesthesia disrupts thermoregulatory mechanisms by causing vaso__, and thus loss of heat
vasodilation
explain core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat
under anesthesia, our warm core heat flows to our peripheries as a result of vasodilation, especially during the first hour
Evaporation is heat loss by way of __ evaporating off your body
water
radiation is heat loss between your body and the surrounding __
air
convection is loss of heat by __ or wind
fan
conduction is loss of heat through direct __ with a colder surface such as a cold OR table
transfer
radiation is the transfer of energy between 2 objects that are __ in direct contact but have different temps, radiation is the most significant mech. of heat loss by our bodies under anesthesia
not
through what route does a BURN patient lose the most heat?
evaporation
rank the routes of heat loss from greatest to least
radiation > convection > evaporation > conduction
what percent of heat loss occurs by radiation and convection combined?
70%
40% radiation
30% convection
the latent heat of __ is the energy needed to change a liquid into a gas
vaporization
