A device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy______. | Heat Engine |
A device that heats your home by transferring thermal energy from a region of low temperature to high temperature is a_______. | Heat Mover |
Refrigerators and air conditioners are examples of_______. | Heat Movers |
Wind and ocean currents are formed by_____. | Convection |
A material that reduces the flow of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation is an________. | Insulator |
All of the following are good conductors of heat except for_____. | Air |
Of the following the insulation that is most resistant to heat flow is rated______. | R40 or the highest R value |
The process by which engine fuels burn is_____. | Combustion |
Through which of the following will convection most likely occur. | Liquids and Gasses |
Gasoline and diesel are____. | Internal Combustion Engine |
The transfer of energy that does not require matter_____. | Radiation |
Solar collectors are parts of_____. | Active Solar Heating Systems |
Energy from the sun travels to Earth as____. | Radiant Energy |
The specific heat of an object depends on its_____. | Chemical Makeup |
Two equal masses of two different kinds of matter____. | Probably have different thermal energy |
Temperature measures the_____of the particles of a material. | Kinetic Energy |
The effectiveness of insulation is rated with a_____. | R Value |
The inside surfaces of the glass inside vacuum bottles are coated with aluminum to prevent heat loss by____. | Radiation |
Compared to the efficiency of a gasoline engine and diesel engine is____. | Twice as efficient |
Compare and contrast heat and temperature. | Temperature is a measure of how fast the particles are moving or the kinetic energy. Heat is the kinetic and potential energy of an object. |
What is specific heat? | A measure of how much energy it takes to increase the kinetic energy of a material particle. |
How does thermal energy relate to A. Heat B. Temperature | Heat is thermal energy that flows from a higher temp to a lower temp. Temperature is a measure of the moving part of thermal energy. |
What is the equation for measuring the change in thermal energy. | Q=M x ^T x C (Q=change in thermal energy) (M=mass) (^T= change in temp) (C= specific heat) |
Gas| Diesel | Stem (Chart) | (burns fuel)(internal) | (Burns fuel)(internal) | (burns fuel)(external) |
What gives uniform warmth. | Electrical |
Large tank for storing water heat by the sun. | Active Solar |
Fans move warm air. | Forced Air |
Pump circulates a liquid to a radiator. | Hot Water |
Large windows on the south side of the building. | Passive Solar |
Hot vapor is forced through radiators | Steam |
How would the heat from the pot move to the handle? (Chart) | Conduction |
Where does the heat go in the room with the fireplace. (Chart) | Outside through the chimney |
Thermal energy is transferred to the people by. (Chart) | Convection and Radiation |
The thermal energy transferred from the iron to the clothes by. (Chart) | Conduction |
Water has a very high specific heat. Why does it make it a very good substance for use in cooling systems in automobiles? | Because it can absorbs lot of heat |
A well insulated house should have insulation with an R-value with at least R-19 in the wall and an R-value of R-32 and R-44. Why would there be higher R-value in the ceilings? | Because heat rises |
Why do the pipes in a steam heating system need to be insulated? | To keep the heat in |
To the sun-room. (Chart) | Convection and Radiation |
