Presentation Transcript

  1. POS • Key Concepts: • Heat transfer • Insulation and thermal conductivity • 2a. Compare heat transmission in different materials (eg. Compare conduction of heat in different solids; compare the absorption of radiant heat by different surfaces

  2. POS • 2b. Explain how heat is transmitted by conduction, convection and radiation in solids, liquids and gases

  3. Unit C: Heat and Temperature Topic 6: Energy Transfer http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=SCE304

  4. How is energy transferred? • Radiation • Conduction • Convection • Tea light garden pot heater • http://www.bodymindsoulspirit.com/heat-a-room-for-only-15-cents-a-day/

  5. Back up…what is energy? • The ability to do work • Can not be created or destroyed, only transferred • Forms: • Chemical • Mechanical • Electrical • Thermal • Radiant (light) • nuclear

  6. Radiation (energy/transfer) • The only form able to travel through space • Emitted by the sun • Types of EMR Electromagnetic Radiation • Radio waves • Microwaves • Infrared radiation • Visible light spectrum ROYGBIV • UV (ultraviolet) • X-ray • Gamma Ray • Cosmic Rays

  7. Albedo • Radiation is either reflected (by clouds, snow) or absorbed

  8. What makes radiant energy special? • All radiant energy forms • Behave like waves • Can be absorbed and reflected by objects • Travel at the speed of light, 300 000 km/s

  9. Conduction • Learning goals • Be able to explain conduction using the particle model of matter • Be able to explain that different materials conduct energy at different rates • Know that air is among poor heat conductors (insulation)

  10. Conduction • Conduction is the process by which thermal energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring particles • As temperature increases, particle speed increases, collisions increase, materials heat up more quickly • Common method of energy transfer for solids

  11. Conduction • Conduction occurs when energy is passed directly from one item to another • If you stirred a pot of soup on the stove with a metal spoon, the spoon will heat up. The heat is being conducted from the hot area of the soup to the colder area of the spoon.

  14. Convection • Convection is the transfer of energy in fluids, that is, liquids and gases. • Hot fluids rise, cold fluids sink. • Flow is in a circular pattern

  15. Convection-How it works • As temperature (thermal energy) increases: • Particles move faster • Spaces between particles increase • The fluid becomes less dense • Less dense fluids will float on top of more dense fluids • Helium balloons float in air • Molten wax floats on oil • Hot air floats on cold air

  16. Convection-How it works • As temperature (thermal energy) increases: • Particles move faster • Spaces between particles increase (expansion) • The fluid becomes less dense • Less dense fluids will float on top of more dense fluids • Helium balloons float in air • Molten wax floats on oil • Hot air floats on cold air

  17. Convection-How it works • As temperature (thermal energy) decreases: • Particles move slower • Spaces between particles decrease (contraction) • The fluid becomes more dense • More dense fluids will sink

  18. Let’s go back to an earlier lesson and classify each example as • Conduction • Convection • Radiation
