THERMAL ENERGY
2
THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM Moves heat energy from warmer to cooler regions
Example, water/antifreeze in a radiator
3
HEAT VS. TEMPERATURE HEAT Measurement of heat energy
Form of energy found in the vibrating motion of atoms and molecules TEMPERATURE Measurement of heat energy Scalar quantity Fahrenheit (0F) Celsius (0C) Kelvin (K)
4
Heat increases the KE of the substance
The substance expands especially gases Work may be done Examples- rubber band, steeel balls
5
Total Energy is conserved
D PE + D KE + D U = 0
6
WHY DOES HEAT FLOW FROM HOT- TO- COLD?
Heat gives added energy to molecules which move faster and then the energy is passed on to surrounding cooler molecules
7
HOW DOES A THERMOMETER WORK?
When temperature in a mercury or colored alcohol glass tube increases, the liquid expands and rises up the tube
8
TEMPERATURE SCALES Scale Boiling Pt. Freezing Pt.
Fahrenheit F F Celsius C C Kelvin K K
9
CONVERSIONS 0C = 5/9 ( 0F - 320) 0F = 9/5 0C + 320 K = 0C + 273
10
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM An electric motor is operating at a temperature of 1150F. It is located in a workshop where the room temperature is 750F. Find the room temperature in 0C. Find the room temperature in K.
11
ROOM TEMPERATURE IN 0C 0C = 5/9 ( 75-32) 0C = 5/9 ( 43 )
12
ROOM TEMPERATURE TO K K = 0C + 273 K = = 297K
13
Conduction, Convection, Radiation
Conduction- The transfer of energy through matter in which energy moves from particle to particle ---touching; more easily in solids than liquids or gases Convection-The transfer of energy by the bulk movement of matter in which particles move from place to place in a fluid---often movement of heat in air Radiation- The transfer of energy in the form of waves—often from the SUN
14
Conductors & Insulators
Thermal conductors-substances that rapidly transfer heat energy Insulators reduces heat loss by slow transfer of heat energy
15
Specific Heat Capacity
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 10 C at constant pressure The specific heat of water is J / g . 0C
16
Q = m c DT Q = heat measured in J c = specific heat capacity in J/kg. 0C m = mass in kg DT = temperature in 0C Example- food lab
17
Phase Change Melting or solidification Latent heat – energy per unit mass that is transferred during a phase change of a substance Can be heat of fusion or heat of vaporization
18
Heat of fusion- energy transferred to change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid
Heat of vaporization- energy transferred to change from liquid to vapor or vapor to liquid Vaporizing or condensing
19
Phase Change graph
20
Laws of Thermodynamics
1st Law – The total change in internal energy from its initial to final equilibrium conditions is equal to the transfer of energy as both heat and work.
21
2nd Law- No machine can transfer all of its absorbed energy as work
This can be explained as entropy- a measure of the disorder of a system, natural processes increase entropy Increasing disorder means there is less energy to do work
