HEAT

Chapter Eleven: Heat  11.1 Heat  11.2 Heat Transfer

Chapter 11.1 Learning Goals  Describe the relationship between heat, temperature, and thermal energy.

 Identify and use different units to measure heat.

 Explain how the specific heat of different materials can be used to describe changes in temperature and energy.

Investigation 11A Temperature and Heat 

Key Question: How are temperature and heat related?

11.1 What is heat?



Heat

is thermal energy that is moving.

 Heat flows any time there is a difference in temperature.

 Because your hand has more thermal energy than chocolate, thermal energy flows from your hand to the chocolate and the chocolate begins to melt.

11.1 What is heat?

 Heat and temperature are related, but are not the same thing.  The amount of thermal energy depends on the temperature but it also depends on the

amount

of matter you have.

11.1 Units of heat and thermal energy  The metric unit for measuring heat is the

joule

.  This is the same joule used to measure all forms of energy, not just heat.

11.1 Heat and thermal energy  Thermal energy is often measured in

calories

.  One calorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one milliliter of water by one degree Celsius.

11.1 Specific heat  The

specific heat

is a property of a substance that tells us how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a material by one degree Celsius.

Knowing the specific heat of a material tells you how quickly the temperature will change as it gains or loses energy.

11.1 Why is specific heat different for different materials?

 Temperature measures the average kinetic energy

per particle

.  Energy that is divided between fewer particles means more energy per particle, and therefore more temperature change.

 In general, materials made up of heavy atoms or molecules have low specific heat compared with materials made up of lighter ones.

Chapter Eleven: Heat  11.1 Heat  11.2 Heat Transfer

Chapter 11.2 Learning Goals  Compare and contrast various methods of heat transfer.

 Differentiate between thermal conductors and thermal insulators.

 Explain what it means when objects are in thermal equilibrium.

Investigation 11B The Specific Heat of a Metal 

Key Question: What is the identity of an unknown metal sample?

11.2 Heat transfer  Thermal energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature. This process is called heat transfer .   There are three ways heat flows:

heat conduction

,  

convection

, and

thermal radiation

.

11.2 Heat transfer 

Heat conduction

transfer of heat by the direct contact of is the particles of matter.

Where is the heat energy conducted to and from in

 Conduction occurs between two materials at different temperatures when they are touching each other.

this system?

11.2 Heat transfer 

Thermal equilibrium

occurs when two bodies have the same temperature.  No heat flows in thermal equilibrium because the temperature is the same in the two materials.

11.2 Thermal conductors and insulators  Materials that conduct heat easily are called

thermal conductors

and those that conduct heat poorly are called

thermal insulators

.

Is a down coat a conductor or an insulator?

11.2 Convection 

Convection

is the transfer of heat through the motion of matter such as air and water.

 The hot water at the bottom of the pot rises to the top and replaces the cold water.

11.2 Convection  Convection is mainly what distributes heat throughout a room.

11.2 Thermal radiation  Heat from the Sun is transferred to Earth by

thermal radiation.

 All the energy the Earth receives from the Sun comes from thermal radiation.

 The higher the temperature of an object, the more thermal radiation it emits.

11.2 Thermal radiation  Thermal radiation is also

absorbed

by objects.

 The amount of thermal radiation absorbed depends on the surface of a material.

 Dark surfaces absorb most of the thermal radiation they receive.  Silver or mirrored surfaces reflect thermal radiation.

11.2 Heat transfer, winds, and currents 

A

thermal

is a convection current in the atmosphere.



When a surface, like a road absorbs solar radiation, it emits energy as heat.



The warmed air molecules gain kinetic energy and rise.



Colder air is forced aside and sinks.

11.2 Thermal radiation  There are giant convection currents in Earth’s atmosphere.

 The global wind patterns and Earth’s rotation also cause surface ocean currents to move in large circular patterns.

Investigation 11C Mass Determination 

Key Question: Can the mass of an object be determined without the use of a balance?

Needed: Efficient Buildings  “Green” building design is the term used to describe architecture that is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly .
