* HEAT ** OBJECTIVES 1. Differentiate heat and temperatre 2. Infer the ncessary conditions for heat transfer to occr 3. appreciate heat transfer ** CONTENT *** THERMAL ENERGY This referrs to tthe energy possessed by an objecitve or system due to movement of particles within the object or the system due to the movement of particles When thermal energy is transformed, it is always produced. **** HEAT This is the flow of thermal energy, the energy that transfers from a body with a higher temperatre to a body witth a lower temperatre. SI Unit is Jules There's also: ***** Calorie quantity of heat needed to raise the temperatre of one gram of water one ***** British Thermal unit **** TEMPERATURE This measures the average energy of the motions of the molecules in the substance, this can be measred using a thermometer There are three units used |---------+------------+--------+---------| | Celcius | Fahrenheit | Kelvin | Rankine | |---------+------------+--------+---------| The SI UNIT of this is Kelvin. The Celcius is created by Anders Celsius of Sweden. The Fahrenheit meanwhile is created by.. *** HEAT TRANSFER The process wherein thermal energy is exchanged between objects due to their temperatuure differences Thermal Equillabrium is the point where the heat transfer stops **** CONDUCTION This takes place between objects thatt are in direct contact with each other, this is most effect in solids, the reason why pans are made of metal is because they're good conductors of heat There are also insulators, materials that transfer heat poorly, these things have rubber handles, etc. that prevent us from getiing burned **** CONVECTION This is the method of heat transfered through the circlation of liqid and gas This is effective in fluids, this is the transfer of energy bt the risking or sinking of matter de to density differences **** RADIATION The heat moves throgh an empty space (outer space), There is no medim like water, air, nor any solid material where heat can travel through This is also a transfer of heat by means of electronmagnetic waves.
