    Understanding Heat Transfer, Conduction, Convection and Radiation

    Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place. Hot objects in a cooler room will cool to room temperature. Cold objects in a warmer room will heat up to room temperature.

    HEAT IS THE TRANSFER OF KINETIC ENERGY

    Heat Transfer

    If a cup of coffee and a red popsickle were left on the table in this room what would happen to them? Why? The cup of coffee will cool until it reaches room temperature. The popsickle will melt and then the liquid will warm to room temperature.

    Question

    Heat

    transfers in three ways: Conduction Convection Radiation

    Heat Transfer Methods

    Conduction
    TRANSFER BY TOUCH. When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat travels to the other end.

    As you heat the metal, the particles vibrate, these vibrations make the adjacent particles vibrate, and so on and so on, the vibrations are passed along the metal and so is the heat. We call this? Conduction

    Metal is a conductor,. A conductor allows particles to transfer energy and move faster when thermal energy increases. Wood is an insulator. Wood does not allow particles to transfer energy and move faster when thermal energy increases.

    Which is conduction?

    Convection
    What happens to the particles in a liquid or a gas when you heat them?

    The particles spread out and become less dense.

    A liquid or gas.
    This effects fluid movement. What is a fluid?

    Convection is the transfer of thermal energy due to changes in density in a fluid.

    Convection currents!

    Why is it windy at the seaside?

    Cold air sinks


    Where is the freezer compartment put in a fridge?

    Freezer compartment It is warmer at the bottom, so this warmer air rises and a convection current is set up.

    It is put at the top, because cool air sinks, so it cools the food on the way down.

    Which is convection?

    The third method of heat transfer


    How does heat energy get from the Sun to the Earth?

    Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through space not by currents or by touch!

    RADIATION

    Radiation
    Radiation travels in straight lines True/False

    Radiation can travel through a vacuum


    True/False Radiation requires particles to travel True/False Radiation travels at the speed of light

    True/False
