Transferring Heat
How can heat be transferred
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Temperature | A measure of the average Kinetic Energy of individual particles in matter. |
Ways we measure temperature. | °F, °C,°K °F= Fahrenheit °C= Celsius °K= Kelvins |
Heat | Thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object. |
Specific Heat | The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of material by 1°K. |
Change in energy= | Mass x Specific Heat x Delta T(Change in Temperature) |
Conduction | Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without movement of the matter (the particles still vibrate). |
Convection | Heat is transferred by the movement of currents in a liquid or gas. |
Radiation | Heat is transferred by electromagnetic waves. |
