Heat Transfer (feel your tabletop) Most of these slides were taken from Laura Lemay. and Michael McDowell 1

Thermal Energy TOTAL energy of motion in molecules of a substance (therm=heat) hotter  higher T.E. bigger  higher T.E. 2

Temperature * Average amount of energy in motion Measured with a thermometer hotter  higher bigger  same 3

HEAT energy transfers from hotter object to COLDER object. Heat hotcold 4

Three types of heat Transfer 1) Radiation: infrared radiation (not visible); felt as heat 2) Conduction: transfer of heat by touch (direct contact) 3) Convection: transfer of heat by movement of fluid (liquid/gas) 5

First type 6

Do you remember the EM spectrum? 7 Radiation does not require a medium, but it can travel through one, such as air.

Radiation (infrared) Examples: *Feel warmth on face from sun= solar radiation * Warmth of a fire  * Heat off car engine 8

Second type 9

Conduction=touch* Examples: * Hot sand on feet, feet on cold floor * Touching hot light bulb * Touching metal on hot seatbelt *Stove to pan to handle * ice in hand 10

Third type 11

Convection * Convection in water (INSIDE the pot) Convection oven (INSIDE the oven) 12

More convection examples 13 * Holiday chimes * Spinning Lamps

Name ALL THREE EXAMPLES in your table: 14

15 TypeDefinitionExamples: Radiation infrared radiation (not visible to humans) felt as heat Conduction transfer of heat by touch Convection transfer of heat by movement of fluid (liquid or gas)

Next year: Heat Transfer in the Troposphere radiation conduction * convection * CONVECTION is the dominant heat transfer in the troposphere (the air where we live) 16 What do we call convection of air in our atmosphere? Answer: ____________

Transfer of Energy

Energy Transfer Energy is transferred from hotter object to colder object Examples? –Cooking pasta –Making ice –Making popcorn –Roasting marshmallows

Conduction Stir your hot soup with a metal spoon Pretty soon you need a pot holder because the end of the spoon you are holding gets hot This is heat transfer by conduction Energy travels up the spoon from the end in the hot soup to the end in your hand

Conduction Transfer E as heat between particles in direct contact Example –Roasting marshmallow with wire –Air molecules collide with wire Transfer energy to wire Particles in wire move faster, have more E E then transfer to hand, detect warmth

Conduction For example, a spoon in a cup of hot soup becomes warmer because the heat from the soup is conducted along the spoon. Fun fact: Have you ever noticed that metals tend to feel cold? Believe it or not, they are not colder! They only feel colder because they conduct heat away from your hand. You perceive the heat that is leaving your hand as cold.

Conduction

Conduction Example Put your hand on the desk. –How does it feel? –Is it colder or is the heat transferring to your hand through CONDUCTION? Popcorn in a pot –The heat is transferred by direct contact from the pan, to the oil, to the kernels of popcorn.

Convection Energy transfer through movement of fluids at different temperatures (fluids - liquids and gases) Examples –Camp fire See soot, embers rise & swirl Rise upwards – warm air expands –Why?

Convection Convection current – flow of fluid due to heated expansion followed by cooling and contraction Examples –Wind current –Boil water in pot

Convection You can hold your fingers beside the candle flame without harm, but not above the flame. Why?

Convection Examples Water…boiling –What is happening? Hot air popcorn –What is happening? –The hot air transfers the heat to the cooler kernels, and when enough hot air heats the kernels they pop.

Convection

Explains why breezes come from the ocean in the day and from the land at night

Radiation Transfer of E by electromagnetic waves No movement of matter – will work in vacuum or outer space No contact or movement of fluid Infrared, visible light, UV rays Example –Fire emits radiation (infrared), skin absorbs E, increase in temperature

Radiation Radiation can be absorbed and emitted Color –Summer day: wear light or dark clothes? –Winter day: wear light or dark clothes? –Why?

Radiation Example Microwave Popcorn –The kernels are heated by the radiation in the microwave, and the kernels heat up, giving off more heat to the kernels surrounding it and making it "doubly warm."

Radiation Interior of a car on a sunny day Sunlight comes in as visible light Seats and interior are much cooler so they radiate in the infrared instead of visible Glass in the windows blocks infrared so energy can’t get out Car interior heats up!

Radiation Radiation: Electromagnetic waves that directly transport ENERGY through space Sunlight is a form of radiation that is radiated through space to our planet without the aid of fluids or solids. The energy travels through nothingness! Just think of it! The sun transfers heat through 93 million miles of space. Because there are no solids (like a huge spoon) touching the sun and our planet, conduction is not responsible for bringing heat to Earth. Since there are no fluids (like air and water) in space, convection is not responsible for transferring the heat. Thus, radiation brings heat to our planet.

What type of heat transfer is involved? Heating a room with a fireplace Egg cooking in a frying pan Roof of a house becoming hot
