Specific Heat Capacity | The amount of energy needed for the change in temperature of 1kg of the substance by 1 Kelvin. q = mcΔT |
Specific Latent Heat | The heat needed to change the state of 1kg of a substance. (J/Kg) |
Thermometric Property | A physical property that changes measurably with changing temperature |
Conduction | The transfer of energy through a substance without movement of the particles of the substance |
Convection | The transfer of energy through a substance by the movement of the particles |
Radiation | The movement of energy in straight lines from the surface of a hot body, without the need of a medium to pass through. |
