Heat Transfer NOTES By: Laura LeMay
Thermal Energy TOTAL energy of motion in molecules of a substance (therm=heat)
Temperature Average amount of energy in motion * Measured with a thermometer
HEAT Energy Transfers… from hotter object to COLDER object Heat hotcold
3 types of heat Transfer 1) Radiation: infrared (not visible) and felt as heat 2) Conduction: transfer of heat by touch 3) Convection: transfer of heat by movement of fluid (liquid/gas)
TypeDefinitionExamples: Radiation infrared (not visible) felt as heat Conduction transfer of heat by touch Convection transfer of heat by movement of fluid (liquid/gas)
Radiation (infrared) Examples: *Feel warmth on face from sun= solar radiation * Warmth of a fire * Heat off car engine
More examples of radiation Heated driveways/ sidewalks * Heated floors
Conduction=touch Examples: * Hot sand on feet * Touching hot light bulb * Touching metal on hot seatbelt * Stove to pan handle * Melting ice in hand
Convection * Convection in water * Convection oven
* Holiday chimes * Spinning Lamps
LOOK AT ALL THREE:
Heat Transfer in the Troposphere radiation conduction * convection * CONVECTION is the most dominant heat transfer in the troposphere
