Heat Transfer: Conduction Convection Radiation
I. Thermal Energy HEAT (thermal energy) is produced from the motion of molecules. The amount of heat depends on how fast the molecules move. As molecules move FASTER, more heat is produced. Temperature measures how fast (kinetic energy) the molecules are moving.
Question Why is Frosty melting
E. Heat always transfers from a warmer to a cooler object.
II. Heat Transfer Methods: Conduction Convection Radiation
During this video jot down any important info you hear about the 3 types of heat transfer. http://www.teachertube.com/video/heat-transfer-164366
Conduction & Radiation Cooking with Heat Transfer http://www.science4us.com/elementary-physical-science/energy/heat-energy/?unit=energy&demo=inthelab Cooking with Heat Transfer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZavDQiiTyI
When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat travels to the other end. As the metal is heated, the particles vibrate. These vibrations pass thermal energy along the metal causing it to heat up. This is called Conduction.
A. Conduction Conduction = CONTACT Heat transfers from one object to another object through DIRECT CONTACT. Occurs in SOLIDS. EXAMPLE: Cooking on the stove Conduction = CONTACT
Examples of Conduction:
B. CONVECTION Convection = VENTS Heat transfer in FLUIDS (liquids or gases) Heat is transferred through CURRENTS . Warm fluids RISE bc they’re less dense Cooler fluids SINK bc they’re more dense. Convection Current Convection = VENTS
Convection Current Cool fluids sink Warm fluids rise Sink=more dense Rise= less dense Warm fluids rise
Convection current in boiling water Water cools at the surface Hot water rises Cooler water sinks
Examples of Convection: 1. boiling water 2. lava lamp 3. hot air balloon 4. heated air
Convection currents in nature Convection currents in the atmosphere are responsible for our weather. Convection currents cause the cooler breezes you experience by a large body of water. Convection currents also cause the movement of magma within the earth.
The third method of heat transfer How does heat energy get from the Sun to the Earth? RADIATION
C. Radiation Radiation = RAYS Heat transferred through space by ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES Can occur in all states of matter , but radiation does NOT require matter to transfer thermal energy Example: Solar radiation from the Sun Radiation = RAYS
Examples of Radiation: 2. Cooking in a microwave 1. Heat from Sun 3. Infrared heat lamp 4. Heat from fire
How much of the sun’s radiation do we actually receive? Solar Radiation How much of the sun’s radiation do we actually receive?
REVIEW Animated Review: CONDUCTION CONVECTION RADIATION requires direct contact occurs in solids currents in fluids warm fluids RISE less dense cooler fluids SINK more dense Found in nature rays or waves major source: heat from the sun does not require matter Animated Review: https://www.wisc-online.com/learn/natural-science/earth-science/sce304/heat-transfer--conduction--convection--radiation
