HEAT

A form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or


molecules.

It is transferred from objects at a higher temperature to


objects at a lower temperature.

Hot objects in a cooler room will cool to room


temperature.

Cold objects in a hotter room will cool up to room


temperature.
THREE WAYS IN WHICH HEAT CAN
BE TRANSFERED
Conduction -The transfer of heat or electric current
from one substance to another by direct contact.

Convection -The transfer of heat through a fluid


( liquid or gas ) caused by molecular motion.

Radiation – Energy that is radiated or transmitted in


the form of rays waves or particles.
HEAT CONDUCTION
Conduction is heat transfer by means of molecular
agitation within a material without any motion of the
material as a whole. It occurs through direct contact.
If one end of a metal rod is at a higher temperature,
then energy will be transferred down the rod toward
the colder end because the higher speed particles will
collide with the slower ones with a net transfer of
energy with the lower ones.
As long as the objects are in a contact , transfer of heat
will continue until the temperature of the objects is
the same.
EXAMPLE OF CONDUCTION
Think of a metal spoon in a pot being heated.
The fast – moving particles of the fire collide with the
slow – moving particles of the cool pot.
Because of these collisions , the slower particles move
faster and heat is transferred .
Then the particles of the pot collide with the particles
in the water , which collide with the particles at one end
of the spoon.
As the particles move faster , the metal spoon gets
hotter. This process of conduction is repeated all along
the metal until the entire spoon is hot.
HEAT CONVECTION
Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid
such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to
move away from the source of heat , carrying energy
with it.
Convection that occurs above a hot surface occurs
because hot air expands , becomes less dense and
rises and is called natural convection. Convection
assisted by breeze , pump or fan is called forced
convection.
Hot water is likewise more dense than cold water and
rises , causing convection currents which transport
energy.
EAMPLE OF CONVECTION
When water at the bottom of the pot is heated, it’s
particles move faster , and they also move farther
apart. As a result, the heated water becomes less
dense. A less dense fluid will float on top of a more
dense one. Therefore , the heated water rises on the
pot. The surrounding cooler water flows into it’s
place.
This flow creates the circular motion, known as
convection current.
HEAT RADIATION
Energy transferred in the form of rays or waves or
particles.
Ration is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic
waves.
Ration doest NOT require a medium to transfer
thermal energy.
EXAMPLE OF RADIATION
You can feel the sun warm your skin on a sunny day.
This is because the energy causes the particles in your
skin to move faster which is equal to more heat energy.
We all have experienced the lovely warm feeling sitting
by the bonfire. The heat that we receive by sitting next
to fire comes to us by RADIATION.
