QuestionAnswer
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
