Lesson 2 Heat Propagation Liceo Da Procida

Reminder Last time we learned about kinetic theory of matter Which state of matter has the fastest moving particles? How do we make the particles move even more quickly? Today, we will explore the different ways to transfer heat to a substance

How does heat travel? Heat energy always travels from HOT to COLD When the sun shines on the Earth, does energy travel from the sun to the Earth or from the Earth to the sun? If I burn my hand by touching the stove, does energy travel from the stove to my hand or from my hand to the stove? If I take a cold shower to cool down, does energy travel from the water to my body or from my body to the water?

Kinds of Heat Propagation 3 types Heat Propagation Rap Conduction Convection Radiation

Conduction What happens to the roof of your mouth if you eat a piece of pizza before it cools down? If you have coffee in a mug does the outside of the mug feel hot or cold? Two objects touching = CONDUCTION Two objects = pizza and your mouth, two molecules in mug

Conduction Different materials conduct heat differently Which will get hotter, a metal spoon or a wooden spoon in a pot of boiling water? Thermal conductivity – How well a material can conduct heat vs.

Concept Question Would you use a material with high or low thermal conductivity in the walls of your house to keep heat in during the winter? A) High thermal conductivity B) Low thermal conductivity

Concept Question Would you use a material with high or low thermal conductivity in the walls of your house to keep heat in during the winter? A) High thermal conductivity B) Low thermal conductivity

Conduction The thermal conductivity of a material is measured in W/m*C (ex: for aluminum, k = 250 W/m*C) We can measure how much heat has gone through a bar based on the following equation: Q = k*A*ΔT*Δt/L A = cross-sectional area, T = temperature, t = time, L = length

Conduction Q = k*A*ΔT*Δt/L ΔT = T 1 – T 2 Δt = elapsed time Q = amount of heat transferred

Practice Problems Q = k*A*ΔT*Δt/L A 2 m copper rod with a cross-sectional area of 0.1 m 2 has one end at 80C and the other at 50C. The thermal conductivity of copper is 370 W/m*C. How much heat is transferred in 10 seconds? How much heat is transferred in an hour through a 5 m long copper rod with a square cross- sectional area, where each side measures 0.1 m? One end of the rod is at 300K and the other is at 320K

Convection Which way does a flame point on a candle? Right after you burn yourself, what should you do? Fluids flowing = CONVECTION Fluid = liquid (i.e. water), air

Convection Two parts to convection: 1) Hot air always travels UP (ex: hot air balloon) 2) Flowing liquids transfer heat (ex: run something frozen under warm water to heat it up) Cool convection video!

Convection Remember, FLUIDS MOVING (air, liquid) = CONVECTION!

Radiation Where do you normally hear the word “radiation?” Cell phones, X-rays, nuclear power plants, etc. What do all these have in common? Two objects that DON’T touch Energy transferred through electromagnetic waves

Radiation If you light a campfire and sit a few feet from it, what do you feel? If you put something in a microwave, does it come out hotter or colder? In heat propagation, radiation means heat transfer between two objects that DON’T touch Heat energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves Radiation experiment!

Radiation We can predict how much heat energy an object will give off based on its temperature! The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives us the amount of heat energy radiated per unit surface area per second (flux) Think: would a higher temperature mean an object gives off more or less heat energy?

Stefan-Boltzmann Law THE EQUATION: F = σT 4 F = heat propagation flux (energy radiated per unit surface area per second) σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.67 * J/s*m 2 *K 4 ) T = temperature (but be careful! Temperature must be measured in Kelvin, not degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit) Does higher temperature mean more or less heat propagation?

Practice Problems Remember: F = σT 4 A star’s temperature is 5000K. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, how much energy is radiated into space per second by each square meter of the star’s surface? If the star is a perfect sphere with radius m, what is the total power output of the star?

Examples from earlier Conduction, Convention, Radiation Sun shining on Earth Radiation Burning my hand on the stove Conduction Taking a cold shower Convection

Heat transfer applet nt_heattransfer/ nt_heattransfer/

More Examples For each of the following examples, what kind of heat transfer is it (and why)? Hot water rises in a boiling pot An incandescent light bulb feels warm when your hand is a few centimeters away A chocolate bar melts in my hand on a hot day A firefighter uses a hose of water to put out a fire A crazy man walks across burning coals

More Examples I ride on a waterslide to cool down on a hot day You feel the coolness of a breeze on a warm day The cold outside makes the inside of the windows feel cold Venus is much hotter than Saturn You stir fry vegetables in a pan You put your finger in a cup of hot coffee
