Sources which create Heat inside the vehicle Sunlight Other miscellaneous sources Engine Heat Road Heat, Transmission, Exaust system
Comfort inside • The comfort inside the passenger compartment is guarantee by : • Proper temperature managment • Low air humidity level • Good quality of the air, assured by cabin filter
Heat = thermal energy Cold object = Low Energy Hot object = High Energy Kinetc energy of all molecules
Temperature The temperature of a body indicates the heat concentration level contained in it: the measuring unit is the “grade” 100 0 COLD body Low energy level Low Temperature HOT body High energy level High Temperature
Heat Movement WARM Object HIGH Temperature COOL object LOW Temperature HEAT Heat always moves from HOT to COLD. Whenever there is a temperature difference between two object, the heat energy will be trasferred from the warmer object to the cooler one, until both object have stabilized at the same temperature
Methods of Moving Heat CONDUCTION: occurs by contact between two bodies without movement of matter (typical among solid) CONVECTION: occurs by movement of matter (typical in fluids) RADIATION: occurs between different bodies not in contact (typical infrared rays)
Pressure Stratosphere Ozone barrier The atmospheric pressure in a given point of the atmosphere is the weight of the air column which goes from the above mentioned point to the higer limit of the same atmosphere. Common measuring unit: 1 Kg/ cm2 = 1 Atm = 1 Bar
Changes of State Sublimation Solid state Liquid State Gaseous State Fusion Evaporation Solidification Condensation Solid and Liquid substances together are olso known as Fluid
Temperature 100° Liquid+Vapour State The HEAT causes the change of state Vapour State The HEAT increases the temperature Liquid State The HEAT increases the temperature 20° Heat Evaporation = Heat Absorption at constant Temperature
