Heat Transfer
• Heat transfer is the movement of heat
energy from one substance to another.
• 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 will continue to move until both
substances are the same temperature.
• The greater the difference in temperature
between the substances, the faster the heat
will transfer
Cold Hot
Question
• If a cup of coffee and a red pop-sickle (Ice-
pop) 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 pop-sickle will melt
and then the liquid will warm to room
temperature.
Heat Transfer Methods
• Heat transfers in three ways:
– Conduction
– Convection
– Radiation
Conduction
• Heat transfer by conduction is the
transfer of heat through direct contact.
• Molecules transfer energy to the
molecules next to them.
Conduction
When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat
travels to the other end.
(Direct contact between the fire and your marshmallow will ruin it!)
Radiation
