    The document discusses heat transfer through thermal radiation and how various objects and designs utilize the principles of radiation, conduction, and convection to control heat transfer. It provides examples of how painting buildings white and using silver space blankets helps reflect radiation, how vacuum flasks prevent all three types of heat transfer, and asks the reader to design an energy efficient eco-house using natural materials that considers these heat transfer concepts.

    Objectives

    Be able to describe how thermal radiation is con-


    trolled in everyday circumstances
    Explain how a vacuum flask can minimise all types
    of heat transfer

    Use ideas of heat transfer to design a house that


    is energy-efficient
    In very hot countries, people paint their buildings
    white. Why do they do this?

    Try to explain using the idea of thermal radiation


    After exercising for a
    long time your body
    can cool down very
    quickly when you
    stop.

    Long distance runners are given a silver ‘space blanket’.


    Why is it silver?
    Again, use the idea of Thermal Radiation to explain
    During re-entry to the atmosphere the bottom of the
    Space Shuttle gets very hot.

    Why is it painted black?


    What features does a vacuum flask have that stop all 3
    types of heat transfer; Conduction, Convection and Ra-
    diation?
    Slows down heat loss by
    Stopper radiation

    Vacuum between Stops heat leaving by


    inner and outer wall convection to the open
    air

    Silvered inner and Stops heat leaving by


    outer wall conduction because
    there are no particles to
    conduct
    The Eco-House

    Design a house that will be as energy-efficient as pos-


    sible.
    Use the ideas that we have learnt on different types of
    heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation)

    Try to think of some natural materials that can be used


    instead of artificial ones.

    E.g. Soil makes a very good insulator!!
