Transferring Heat
How can heat be transferred
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Temperature | A measure of the average Kinetic Energy of individual particles in matter. |
| Ways we measure temperature. | °F, °C,°K °F= Fahrenheit °C= Celsius °K= Kelvins |
| Heat | Thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object. |
| Specific Heat | The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of material by 1°K. |
| Change in energy= | Mass x Specific Heat x Delta T(Change in Temperature) |
| Conduction | Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without movement of the matter (the particles still vibrate). |
| Convection | Heat is transferred by the movement of currents in a liquid or gas. |
| Radiation | Heat is transferred by electromagnetic waves. |
