1.2 Types or modes of heat transfer
1.2.1 Conduction
It is basically a microscopic level phenomenon. In this process, highly energetic particles of its substance transfer their energy to their less energetic neighbour .Conduction shown in fig. 1.1
Fig.1.1 One Dimension Heat Conduction(snapshot)
T1: Hot temperature(k)
T2: Cold tempreture(k)
Q: The heat flow by conduction in the x-direction (W) A : The area through which the heat flows, normal to the x-direction (M) dT/dx: This is temperature gradient in the x-direction (K/m)
These terms are related by Fourier 's Law, a model proposed as early as 1822:
Q = -KAdT/dx or q= -dT/dx
A significant feature of this equation is the negative sign. This recognises that the natural direction for the flow of heat is from high temperature to low temperature, and hence down the temperature gradient.The additional quantity that appears in this relationship is K the thermal conductivity (W/m K) of the material through which the heat flows. This is a property of the particular heat-conducting substance and, like other properties, depends on the state of the material, which is usually specified by its temperature and pressure.The dependence on temperature is of particular importance. Moreover, some materials such as those used in building construction are capable of absorbing water, either in finite pores or at the molecular level, and the moisture content also influences the thermal
This video clip showed me two different objects and when you put them together they will make an LED light, light up. The purpose of this video was to show viewers some things the cause energy to happen between two or more objects at one time. The lady in this video named Annmarie Thomas, put two different types of homemade playdough together (one salty and the other sugary). She stated that the salty playdough can conduct energy and since the sugary dough does not, when you put them together they will conduct circuits but the dough causes more than just a light to light up it also cause a motor to spin around very fast in circles. This video was a great example on how energy could conduct
When light is absorbed the electrons get excited and go into a higher energy level, so it move much more freely. This produces an electrical
2. Conduction heat loss by direct molecule to molecule transfer from one surface to another. (skin loses heat through direct contact with cooler air, water, or other surfaces)
Charges that build up as static electricity on an object do not stay there forever. Electrons like to move, returning to the object to its neutral state. When a negatively charged object and a positively charged object come together, electrons transfer until both objects have an equal charge. The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer is called static discharge. Normally, a static discharge creates a spark. When electrons transfer between objects they heat the air around the path until it glows, which is the spark we see.
Compare heat transmission in different materials (e.g., conduction of heat in different solids, absorption of radiant heat by different
Louis vesso king proposed kings law, by mathematically describing heat transfer and flows using a heated wire, he calls it hot-wire anemometer. By king’s law, heating current request to maintain the constant temperature differential between
It is where heat is transmitted to a material which is generally a metal as they are good conductors while gases and non-metals are generally
Heat energy (or just heat) is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles. Heat energy can be transferred by four different methods such as conduction, radiation, convection, and latent heat transfer. In conduction, the heat spreads through a substance when faster atoms and molecules collide with neighboring slower ones and it transfers some of their kinetic energy to them. A great example of conduction is when you can warm your back muscles with a heating pad. Radiation is the process where heat emanates from an object that
absorbed by water, where S refer to the heat capacity of water (1.00 Cal/g/˚C). Where g is the
Thermo is a way to explain that the water is warmer than other areas of the ocean. Haline is a way to describe the salt content. The ocean is essentially made up of water and salt. So the density of the ocean depends on the temperature and the salinity which is thermohaline which is used to explain the change in flow of water in the ocean, that has been changed by
an ice berg has more heat then a match because the iceberg is much larger therefore it has the capacity to hold more heat. Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured.Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat. Describe heat transfer from hot to cold (maybe the iceberg is melting, describe change in state and particle motion).
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a body. Temperature can be understood by recognizing that a hot object contains more thermal energy than a cold object. The amount of thermal energy in a substance is affected by the amount of particles that are in it. Temperature is independent of number of particles in
When heat is added to a substance, the kinetic energy of individual particles increases, which makes them move faster resulting in a increase in temperature. The more heat that is added per gram of substance, the greater the temperature change. The relationship between the heat added, the mass of a substance, and the temperature change it undergoes is known as the specific heat.
Unsteady state conduction is the class of heat transfer in which the temperature of the conducting medium varies with time and position. This occurs frequently in industrial processes, especially food preservation and sterilization, where the temperature of the food or of the heating or cooling medium constantly changes (Farid2).
Overall, the experiment succeeded that the metals show the theoretical properties. Differences existed in the mathematical calculation of the actual length. These differences, however, it can be accounted for by experimental error; more over there are uncertainty on purity of the
