1. Heat – Thermal Energy ISCI 2002

2. What is Heat? Place your finger on the handle of a ‘hot’ pan. Ouch! Heat is energy that is transferred from one ‘system’ to another (two systems have different temperatures). Heat transferred to atoms and molecules – increases the KE of each

3. What is Heat? Heat – another form of energy Energy transmitted by electromagnetic waves – Sun – Infrared radiation – Energy conversions Units of heat: – Calorie (cal) – Joule (J)

4. Laws of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics – “movement of heat” Thermal energy transfers as heat – no net loss or gain – 1 st Law of Thermodynamics When heat flows into or out of a system, the gain or loss of thermal energy equals the amount of heat transferred. Heat spontaneously flows from higher to lower substances, never from lower to higher temperature substances – 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics

5. Energy Conversion

6. KE and Temperature KE – Temperature Relationship Temperature is the ‘average’ KE of all atoms and molecules in a system. Scales – Fahrenheit – Celsius – Absolute Zero

7. Heat, Temperature, Mass and the Specific Heat of a Substance Both beakers contain 1.0 kg of water Same amount of heat applied Rise in temperature will be exactly the same.

8. Heat, Temperature, Mass and the Specific Heat of a Substance What if you apply the same amount of heat, but double the volume in one beaker? Left – 1.0 kg Right – 2.0 kg

9. Heat, Temperature, Mass and the Specific Heat of a Substance Volumes are 1.0 kg, but on the right is ethyl alcohol Ethyl alcohol’s temperature will rise twice as fast as the temperature of the water.

10. Putting it All Together

11. Phase Changes of Water and Heat A – B : Ice temperature rising to 0 B – C : Ice temp remains at 0 even though heat constantly added; needed to change solid to liquid. Amount of heat need is called heat of fusion C – D : temperature rises from 0 to 100 C no phase changes occur; only raising temp of water D – E : At 100 C phase change occurs; amount of heat needed to do this is called heat of vaporization

12. Thermal Expansion As heat is transferred through a substance – Molecules move faster; move far apart Liquids expand more than solids Engineering Applications – Bridges, Concrete, etc. Water expansion – Expands except in 0-4 C range – Occupies greater volume in this range; ice less dense than water – Freezing increases water’s volume (decreases density)

13. Heat Transfer Conduction Convection Radiation Conduction Convection Radiation

14. Radiant Energy – Electromagnetic Waves Any substance above absolute zero emit radiant energy – f is proportional to T Humans emit ‘infrared’ radiation If a substance is real hot – emits light – 500 C (long waves – red light); 1200 C (white hot) Sun – emits short wave radiation; Earth emits longer wave radiation (terrestrial radiation) – cool surface

15. Electromagnetic Spectrum

16. Greenhouse Effect How a real greenhouse works – Glass and visible light – Traps ‘infrared’ sunlight Earth’s Greenhouse Effect – Carbon dioxide acts like glass – Greenhouse gases – Allowed for life to thrive Venus vs. Earth

17. Absorption of Radiation Good emitters are good absorbers of radiation A black object filled with hot water will cool faster. Why?
