3 A liquid with low boiling point and high specific latent heat capacity evaporates at low pressure inside the cold body. The vapour is pumped through a compressor and condenses under high pressure releasing its latent heat to the outside so cooling the cold body and heating the warm body. The cooling liquid must have a: high specific latent heat capacity and low boiling point.

4 Solar constant The rate at which solar energy falls perpendicularly on unit area when the earth is at its mean distance from the sum. Conduction: This is the transfer of heat through a solid, without the movement of the solid. Convection: This is the transfer of heat through a liquid or a gas when molecules of the liquid or gas move and carry the heat.. Radiation This is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation. U value The rate at which heat energy is transferred through 1m2 area for a 10C temperature difference between the two sides.
