Temperature and heat Temperature is a measurement of hotness. The temperature of an object is measured in degrees celsius (°C). Heat is a measurement of the energy of an object Heat energy is measured in Joules (J)

Complete cool high higher low quicker thermograms warm cold warm Hot objects have a __________ temperature and usually __________ down. Cold objects have a __________temperature and usually __________ up. Energy will flow from a hotter object to a colder one. The greater the temperature difference, the faster the rate of cooling will be. For eg. A hot cup of coffee would cool down faster in a _______room than in a ______ room ____________________ are pictures in which colour is used to represent temperature. For warm objects, the __________ the temperature, the __________ they cool.

Specific heat capacity The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of something depends on: How much there is (mass) The temperature rise What it is (specific heat capacity) Energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change Calculate the energy transferred when 80kg of water is heated from 10oC to 25oC. (SHC of water = 4200) 80 x 4200 x (25-10) = 5 040 000 J SHC = how much energy something can store. The specific heat capacity of water is high therefore once heated it stores alot of energy, so its used for central heating Remember water has a higher SHC than most things so it can take more heat energy (time) to increase its temperature

Energy Mass x SLH Specific latent heat Specific latent heat is the energy needed to change the state of 1kg of a substance without changing its temperature Specific latent heat water to stem = 2 260 000 j/kg Energy = mass x specific latent heat Calculate the energy transferred when 1.5kg of water in a kettle changes from liquid to a gas at 100oC. 1.5 x 2 260 000 = 3 390 000J Energy needed to change state, its different for all different materials

Heat transfer Heat can transfer in one of three ways: Conduction Convection Radiation

Words – vibrations, electrons, solid, heated, better Conduction Conduction is all about when heat is transferred through a _________. The heat is passed on by ___________ in the molecules. These vibrations get BIGGER when the solid has more ENERGY (i.e. when it is being __________). Metals are _______ conductors than non-metals. This is because the heat is carried by free ________ that can carry the energy around the metal and give it to other electrons and ions. Heating a non-metal Heating a metal Words – vibrations, electrons, solid, heated, better

Conduction Cavity Walls How does a cavity wall prevent heat loss from a home? 1. H____ energy reaches the interior wall eat 2. The heat energy is c_______ through the wall onducted 3. The air cavity between the two walls acts as an i_______ and reduces heat loss by c_______ . nsulator onduction

Side-view of double glazing How does double glazing keep a house warmer? Double glazing keeps a house warmer because there is a layer of a__ between the panes of glass. Air is a poor c________, so it acts like an i_______, . The trapped air r_______ heat loss by c_________ from a house. ir onductor nsulator educes onduction Side-view of double glazing insulating layer of air

Convection – Key Ideas Heat transfer through liquids and gases Heat causes particles in a fluid to: move apart → less dense → lighter → rises (and replace by cooler fluid)

Insert the Missing Words Convection Insert the Missing Words 2. On reaching the surface, the water _____ when in contact with the air cools 3. As the water cools it becomes more ______ and sinks 1. As the water is ______ it becomes less dense and _____ heated dense rises 4. A cycle develops whereby warm water rises and cool water sinks, we call this a __________ current heat convection

Radiation – key facts All hot objects radiate heat. Called infra-red radiation Dull, dark surfaces are the best radiators and absorbers of heat Pale, shiny surfaces are the worst radiators and absorbers of heat Infra–red radiation can travel through a vacuum

Radiation 21/02/2019 Radiation is when heat moves around in electromagnetic _________ like light does. Any hot object will emit heat radiation – the hotter it is, the more radiation it emits. This type of radiation is called __________, and too much of it will cause _________. Dark, matt colours will absorb AND emit the _____ infra-red radiation, and light, shiny colours will ________ it. The main difference with radiation is that conduction and convection could ONLY happen in solids, liquids or gases, whereas radiation will happen through an _____ _____. This is just as well, as otherwise we wouldn’t be able to get any heat from the ___. Words – sun, reflect, infra-red, waves, most, empty space, sunburn Anything HOT emits HEAT RADIATION – the hotter it is, the more infra red radiation it emits

Thought shower: Where can heat be lost from your home?: Obviously, insulating your home can be quite expensive. Bring out air pockets etc. Compare with styrofoam cup.

Reduce energy loss from homes Roof - insulate loft; reduce conduction through ceiling and convection in loft space • Walls - cavity wall insulation; reduce conduction, convection, radiation (if shiny) Windows - double glazing; reduce conduction, convection if vacuum or gas at low pressure Doors - draught excluder; reduce conduction, convection Floors - carpets; trapped air pockets in wool are good insulators they reduce conduction

Payback and Efficiency Payback time is the time it takes for an insulation to pay for itself Payback time = Cost of improvement saving per year Efficiency = useful energy out total energy in e output input

Payback and Efficiency questions Dan spends £120 on loft insulation. He is told that this will reduce his bill by £40 per year. Calculate the payback time. What is payback time? 2. Dan heats his house with coal fires. He is told that his fires are 32% efficient. Explain what this means. A kettle gives out 80J of heat to the room, and is supplied with 180 J of energy. How efficient is the kettle? 120/40 = 30 years How long it will take the cost of the item to start saving on energy bills .Its the cost of insulation divided by annual saving. 3. How much useful energy is supplied from a device 4. 180-80 = useful = 100J 100/180 = 1.56 J
