heat by isabelle
heat transfer
convection
-
only can take place in fluids (liquids, gases), cannot take place in solids and vacuum
-
-
when region of fluid heated, particles move faster, spread apart
-
-
liquid
-
water is heated, expands, density decreases. hence rises up
cooler part of water, which is denser, sink replace heated water
it is in turn heated, rises
-
gas
-
air above lit candle heated, expands
hence density decreases, rises out of chimney
-
applications
electric kettle
-
when electricity turned on, heating element heats up water at bottom
hot water rises, cold water sinks. thus, convection current set up in kettle
water in kettle heated up more uniformly, efficiently
-
air conditioner
-
-
hot air rises, cooled by air conditioner, sinks down
-
natural phenomena
sea breeze
during day, land heated up faster than sea
result, air above land warmer than above sea, it rises up
cooler, denser air from sea flows in, replace rising hot air
-
land breeze
during night, land loses heat much faster then sea
result, air above sea warmer than above land, it rises up
cooler, denser air from land flows towards sea
-
radiation
-
-
-
the hotter the object, the more heat energy it radiates
-
-
-
-
applications
-
-
refrigerator
cooling coils of refrigerator painted black, ensure heat lost quickly
-
conduction
-
heat is transmitted by
vibration of particles
-
solids, closely packed together, vibrate at their fixed positions
-
when heated, particles gain heat, vibrate more vigorously
-
-
motion of free electrons
in metals, free electrons that can move about freely
during heating, free electrons help
-
-
-
-
good conductors, allow heat flow through them easily
-
insulators, do not allow heat flow through them easily
e.g. non metals : glass, wood, plastics
-
heat flow
heat form of energy
-
heat enters an object
- temperature of the object increases
- the object changes in size or physical state
as temperature difference ^, faster heat flows
