1
Convection, Conduction, and Radiation Heat Transfer
2
Review of Density Warmer temperatures = less density Cooler temperatures = higher density
3
Density and Motion How does this happen? Look at the example: If these 2 arrows come together, will they move? Why or why not? 10 No movement!
4
Density and Motion Now look at this example. If these 2 arrows came together, what would happen? 105 Movement! The values are not equal & the movement will be in the direction of the bigger force
5
Density Poem “Motion will go from high to low” Meaning: the molecules will go from where there are a lot to an area where there are few Equilibrium: when molecules are equal on both sides (no movement!)
6
Don’t forget! High amount of molecules = cooler temperatures Low amount of molecules = warmer temperatures
7
Motion and atmosphere Cool air sinks (more dense) Warm air rises (less dense) Motion: Creates a circular motion: heats up goes up, cools off comes down, heats up goes up, cools off comes down
8
Motion in water Cool water sinks (more dense) Warm water rises (less dense) Motion: Creates a circular motion: heats up goes up, cools off goes down, heats up goes up, cools off goes down
9
Motion under the Crust Cool magma sinks (more dense) Warm magma rises (less dense) Motion: Creates a circular motion: heats up goes up, cools off comes down, heats up goes up, cools off comes down
10
What causes those fluids to heat up? Radiation (aka a heat source) Natural Radiation: The Sun, the center of the earth, fire Artificial Radiation: hot plate, burner on stove, candle
11
Conduction When the radiation gets transferred to an object, that is called conduction 2 objects must be in contact with each other Objects can be as small as electrons Examples: touching a hot spoon, sitting on leather seats in the summer, feeling the counter when the sun is out
12
Convection Currents This is the circular movement of the heat transfer This is an action, a verb, a “doing” Molecules will flow to different levels of concentrations: from high to low
13
Which temperature has more molecules in a given space? Cooler/Cold Cooler temperatures = increased density Think about the molecules packed together in ice What type of temperature outside will have greater density: hot weather or cold weather?
14
Which temperature has less molecules in a given space? Warmer/hot Increased temperatures = decreased amount of molecules in the same area Think about how the molecules would look like in a gas all spread out What type of temperature outside would have lower density: hot weather or cold weather?
15
Summary of CCR: Radiation: EM radiation from the Sun heats up the ground or water Conduction: transfer of heat to touching molecules Convection: the different densities of temperature create a circular movement: from high to low
