| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Temperature | A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. |
| Thermal Energy | The sum of kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object |
| Heat | The thermal energy that flows something at a higher temperature to something at a lower temperature. |
| Specific Heat | The amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of some material of 1 C |
| Conduction | The transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter |
| Convection | The transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from place to place |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves |
| Insulator | A material in which heat flows slowly |
| Solar Collector | An active solar heating system that absorb radiant energy from the Sun. |
| Thermodynamics | Thermal energy, heat, and work are related, and the study of the relationship among them. |
| First law of the Thermodynamics | The increase in thermal energy of a system equals the work done on the system plus the heat transferred to the system. |
| Second Law of thermodynamics | It is impossible for heat to flow from a cool object to a warmer object unless work is done. |
| Heat engine | A device that converts heat into work |
| Internal Combustion Engine | Where fuel is burned inside the engine in chamber or cylinders(The heat engine in a car) |
