When you come in… 1.Complete entry ticket 2.Copy down today’s homework 3.Take out the Greenhouse effect worksheet, heat study guide and heat technology poster
2
How do you think they work?
3
You park your car outside on a hot summer day. When you put on your seat belt, what do you feel?
4
Specific Heat Capacity
5
Which one has the highest specific heat capacity? SubstanceSpecific Heat Capacity (J/kg °C) Lead128 Gold129 Silver234 Metal of seat belt500 Aluminum899 Sand800 Cloth of seat belt1,340 Wood1,760 Water4,184
6
Example of specific heat capacity: Why is it cooler at the beach in the summer? Hint: Which has the higher specific heat capacity: the water or the sand? Answer: Water has a high specific heat capacity, so the water stays cool longer than the land.
7
Heat Technology Refrigerators- Cooling Takes Energy! The refrigerator transfers thermal energy from inside the refrigerator to the condenser coils at the back. This is why the back of a refrigerator feels warm!
8
Heat Pumps Dev ices that move thermal energy from one location to another. Example: Air Conditioner Moves thermal energy from inside the house to the outside
9
Wait? Doesn’t that go against the rule that heat always moves from hotter to colder? Air conditioner
10
Heat Engines – Machines that use heat to do work. They convert thermal energy into kinetic energy. Heat Engines Internal External
11
Internal Combustion Engine- Fuel burns inside the engine in chambers called cylinders. Example: car engine
12
External Combustion Engine- Fuel is burned outside the engine. Example: steam engine
