Chapter 16 Thermal Energy and Heat
Thermal Energy and Matter • Heat: is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another due to a difference in temperature • Heat flows from: HOT COLD • Cold: losing heat energy • Hot: gaining heat energy
Kinetic Theory- all matter is made of particle (atoms, molecule, ions). These particles are always in random motion. • Higher Temp = higher kinetic = faster motion
Temperature: is how hot or cold an object is compared to some reference point • Examples: • Outside Temperatures • Temperature of buildings 70.0’F • Runoff Water Temp. 35-42’F • Body Temp. 98.6’ F
Thermometer: tool used to measure temp. 3 different scales ‘C ‘F K • Mercury expands as the thermometer gains heat (UP) • Mercury contracts as the thermometer loses heat (DOWN) • Formulas pg 255 C F, F C
Thermal energy: depends on mass, temperature and phase of an object. • Thermal energy is caused by the movement of atoms and molecules (friction) • Mass: greater mass = greater thermal e. • More mass = longer to heat up & cool down • Temp. greater temp = greater thermal e. • Greater SpecificHeat = Greater thermal E
Phase: depends on amount of thermal E. • Solid: • Liquid: • Gas: • Plasma: most heat energy

Thermal Expansion: occurs because particles of matter tend to move faster and spread out as temperature increases • INCREASE HEAT = INCREASE SIZE • DECREASE HEAT = DECREASE SIZE • Ex. Joints in side walks (celotex), joints in bridges, thermostats in homes, Thermometer • Balloon Demo: expanded as we added heat
Specific Heat: a physical property that describes how a substance absorbs heat • Different substances absorb heat at different rates • The lower a material’s specific heat, the more its temp. will increase as heat is added. (heats & cools faster) • Metals: low specific heat • Nonmetals: high specific heat
Specific Heat of Common Materials • Water = 4.18 J/g-’C • Plastic = 1.8 to 2.1 J/g-’C • Air = 1.01 J/g-’C • Iron = .449 J/g-’C • Silver = .225 J/g-’C
Measuring Heat Changes • Calorimeter: is an instrument used to measure changes in a material’s heat • Closed container that holds water, thermometer, stirring rod • Used to calculate specific heat • Used to calculate # of calories in food • Picture on next slide and in book

16.2 Heat & Thermodynamics • There are 3 ways that thermal energy is transferred from one object to another • Conduction • Convection • Radiation
Conduction: is a heat transfer when 2 objects are touching (direct contact) • There is NO transfer of matter • Conduction works fastest with: • Solids Liquids Gases • The particles of liquids and gases are farther apart than solids, therefore heat is not transferred as quickly
Thermal Conductors: are materials that allow heat and electricity to pass through them easily • Metals • Copper wire for electrical circuits, gold wire in spaceships, pots & pans • Low specific heat values
Thermal insulators: are materials that DO NOT allow heat and electricity to pass through them easily • Non-metals • Wood, plastic, air, glass, fiberglass • Protect items from heat and electricity • High specific heat values
Convection: heat transfer that takes place in fluids (liquids and gases) • HOT AIR/WATER RISES • Convection Currents: currents in liquids or gases, these currents transfer thermal energy (caused by difference in density) • Ex. Pavement, beaker of hot water, ocean currents, weather patterns, wind
Radiation: is the transfer of thermal energy (heat) by waves through space • Radiation happens through air and empty space • Ex. Sun, wood burning stove, fireplace, candles • All objects radiate thermal energy
1st Law of Thermodynamics: states that thermal energy is conserved • Heat energy can’t be created nor destroyed • Heat energy can only be transferred and converted
2nd Law of Thermodynamics: states that heat CAN flow from COLDER objects to HOTTER objects, ONLY if work is done. • Ex. refrigerator, freezer, A.C. • Freon: refrigerant liquid/gas that is used in the cooling process (cars)
ENTROPY: • The measure of how dispersed the energy is.
3rd Law of Thermodynamics: states that absolute zero CAN’T be reached • Absolute Zero: is the coldest possible temperature where molecular (atoms) motion stops • Absolute Zero = 0 K
Using Thermal Energy • Heating Systems: • Forced-air: fuel heats air and fan pushes through the building. Cold air returns • Radiator:hot water or steam heat through radiation to the air. Uses a boiler to heat water • Electric: electricity heats coils in floor or ceiling by conduction.
