  1. Transmission of Heat

  2. Question • If a cup of hot coffee and an ice cube 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 ice cube will melt and then the liquid will cool to room temperature.

  3. Heat Transfer • 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.

  4. Heat Transfer Methods • These are: • Conduction • Convection • Radiation

  5. Conduction When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat travels to the other end. As you heat the metal, the particles vibrate, these vibrations make the adjacent particles vibrate, and so on and so on, the vibrations are passed along the metal and so is the heat. We call this? Conduction

  6. Conduction is the process of heat transfer through a medium or material without any movement of the medium or material

  7. Why does metal feel colder than wood, if they are both at the same temperature? Metal is a conductor, wood is an insulator. The metal conducts the heat away from your hands, the wood does not conduct the heat away from your hands as well as the metal, so the wood feels warmer than the metal.

  8. Some materials conduct heat more rapidly than others • Such materials are called thermal conductors • Most metals are good thermal conductors

  9. Examples of Good Conductors of Heat Times CD-rom

  10. Poor heat conductors are called insulators • They conduct heat much more slowly Examples : wood, rubber, asbestos, plastic, glass, water and air

  11. Examples of Poor Conductors of Heat Times CD-rom

  12. Comparing Different Thermal Conductivities • Which is the best conductor? --> Brass

  13. Applications Of Heat Conductions • Thermal conductors: We use metals to make cooking utensils so that the food inside cooks or heats up quickly.

  14. Applications Of Heat Conductions • Boilers in a factory or power station have to rapidly convert heat to steam.

  15. Applications Of Heat Conductions • Radiators have to conduct heat from a hot source before they can warm the air around them.

  16. Applications Of Heat Conductions • Thermal insulators: Thermal insulators are good at keeping heat out AND keeping heat in. Your winter scarf is a thermal insulator. It prevents the heat from your body from escaping into the cold air.

  17. What are other uses of heat insulators? • Handles of cooking utensils • Walls of buildings

  18. Second method of heat transfer Convection

  19. Heating fluids What happens to the particles in a liquid or a gas when you heat them? The particles spread out and become less dense. This effects fluid movement. What is a fluid? A liquid or gas.

  20. Fluid movement Cooler, more d____, fluids sink through w_____, less dense fluids. ense armer In effect warmer liquids and gases r___ up. ise Cooler liquids and gases s___. ink

  21. Demostrations of Convection using Water movement Cools at the surface Convection current Hot water rises Cooler water sinks

  22. Definition! • Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of currents in liquids or gases

  23. As air is heated up on the road, it rises and cool air replaces the warm air. This sets up a convection current.

  24. Why is it windy at the seaside?

  25. Cold air sinks Where is the freezer compartment put in a fridge? Freezer compartment It is warmer at the bottom, so this warmer air rises and a convection current is set up. It is put at the top, because cool air sinks, so it cools the food on the way down.

  26. Where would you place a air-con in the room? Why? Explanation: A C B

  27. Where would you place the heating element in the electric kettle? Why? Explanation: A B

  28. Third method of heat transfer Radiation

  29. The third method of heat transfer How does heat energy get from the Sun to the Earth? There are no particles between the Sun and the Earth so it CANNOT travel by conduction or by convection. RADIATION ?

  30. Radiation Radiation travels in straight lines True/False Radiation can travel through a vacuum True/False Radiation requires particles to travel True/False Radiation travels at the speed of light True/False

  31. Dull metal Shiny black Shiny metal Dull black Emission experiment Four containers were filled with warm water. Which container would have the warmest water after ten minutes? shiny metal The __________ container would be the warmest after ten minutes because its shiny surface reflects heat _______ back into the container so less is lost. The ________ container would be the coolest because it is the best at _______ heat radiation. radiation dull black emitting

  32. Dull metal Shiny black Shiny metal Dull black Absorption experiment Four containers were placed equidistant from a heater. Which container would have the warmest water after ten minutes? dull black The __________ container would be the warmest after ten minutes because its surface absorbs heat _______ the best. The _________ container would be the coolest because it is the poorest at __________ heat radiation. radiation shiny metal absorbing

  33. Radiation is the transfer of heat, in the form of waves, from one place to another without a medium.

  34. Factors Affecting Radiation • Nature of surface of body • Total surface area of body • Temperature difference between the body and its surrounding

  35. Nature of surface of body Which types of surfaces make better radiators? Black, white or coloured Rough, smooth or shiny

  36. Experiment to investigate nature of surface of body affecting radiation: Times CD-rom

  37. Total surface area of body Increase in surface area, increases amount of heat radiated per second

  38. Temperature difference between the body and its surrounding The greater the temperature difference, the more heat is radiated per second

  39. How does heat from the Sun reach the Earth? Sun Earth

  40. Sunlight is radiated through space to our planet in the absence of matter. • The sun transfers heat through millions of kilometres of space.

  41. Uses of Good Radiators • White clothes • Houses painted in light colours • Black pipes on solar water heaters

  42. Vacuum Flask Times CD-rom

  43. Applications of Heat Transfer • Styrofoam for food is white • Box covered with lid • Brightly polished kettle keeps the liquid warm Times CD-rom

  44. Applications of Heat Transfer • How does the design of the spacesuit help astronaut survive in outer space?

  45. In a warm climate like Singapore, how are buildings designed to keep temperature indoors cool? Which features of these buildings help keep the heat out?

  46. Convection questions Why does hot air rise and cold air sink? Cool air is more dense than warm air, so the cool air ‘falls through’ the warm air. Why are boilers placed beneath hot water tanks in people’s homes? Hot water rises. So when the boiler heats the water, and the hot water rises, the water tank is filled with hot water.

  47. Radiation questions Why are houses painted white in hot countries? White reflects heat radiation and keeps the house cooler. Why are shiny foil blankets wrapped around marathon runners at the end of a race? The shiny metal reflects the heat radiation from the runner back in, this stops the runner getting cold.

  48. Can all three heat transfer method occur at the same time?

  49. 1. Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer? A. Radiation B. Insulation C. Conduction D. Convection
