Heat Transfer How does the energy move from a hotter to a colder object? Three ways/types/mechanisms 1. 2. 3. Conduction Convection Radiation
Conductio n l This is heat transfer by touching! l One molecule hits another and increases it’s motion. (atoms or molecules interact) l The flow of thermal energy through a substance from a higher- to a lower-temperature
Conduction Example Stir your hot soup with a metal spoon Energy travels up the spoon from the end in the hot soup to the end in your hand Pretty soon you need a pot holder because the end of the spoon you are holding gets hot
How does these show Conduction? Heat from foot goes to warm cold floor Pan touch burner (conduction)--Food touch pan (conduction) & food molecules cook Oven mit protects hand from conduction
Convectio n l Heat Transfer in FLUIDS (GAS OR LIQUID) l the GAS OR LIQUID itself is set into motion called a current l These moving fluid currents are convection
Convection heat transferred by… the of a fluid
Convection at home l l When the radiator heats the air, it becomes less dense and rises Cool air moves in to replace the air that rose This generates the air flow The rising air cools until its density matches that of the surrounding air
Convection outside l Explains why breezes come from the ocean in the day and from the land at night
Radiation l l Energy carried by electromagnetic waves that can TRAVEL Through EMPTY SPACE! radio waves, microwaves, infrared, VISIBLE LIGHT, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma
Radiatio n l l l “Without the sun there would be no weather, food & life!” The sun’s radiates energy as ultraviolet, infrared, and visible If you were standing next to the camp stove, you would be warmed by the radiation given off by flame.
Radiation examples Heat radiates from camp fire to cook marshmallow Heat from stove radiates to warm Fido! Light bulb radiates heat as it creates light!
Radiatio n l A good absorber reflects very little energy – l Think about dark pavement and/or sand on beach A poor absorber reflects a lot of energy – Think about snow that doesn’t melt in sunshine
