Resumo de Recurso
Heat & Its Effects and Transfer of Thermal Energy
Movement of Thermal Energy
flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature
Thermal energy transfer
Conduction
Thermal energy transfer through a medium or material from one particle to another
All matter are conductors of thermal energy
Good conductors
Poor insulators
Metals
Solids (fastest conductor)
Poor conductors
Good insulators
Non-metals
Liquids & Gases
Convection
Thermal energy transfer by movement of fluids (liquids & gases)
Happens only in liquids & gas ( fastest in gas)
Expansion of heated liquids & gas
Volume increases
Mass remains the same
Density decreases
Convection current
When a fluid is heated, it expands. It will become less dense and rises. Cooler fluid, which is denser, will sink to replace the warm fluid.
Radiation
Thermal energy transfer in the from of waves, without a medium
Happens in all matter & vacuum
Total surface area of the body
Larger surface area radiates/absorb thermal energy faster
Temperature of the body
Hotter body radiates faster
Nature of the surface of the body
Black, rough, dull (good absorber/radiator)
White, smooth, shiny (Good reflector)
All objects emit infra-ray radiation and all objects absorb it.
Different objects emit and absorb infra-ray radiation at different rates
Uses of Expansion & Contraction
Bimetallic Strips
Two different strips riveted or welded together
Brass expands/contracts more than Iron when heated
Expansion & Contraction
When a matter is heated it increases in volume and expands
When a matter is cooled, it decreases in volume and contracts
Fastest in gas, slowest in solids
When a body expands or contracts, large forces may be set up
Effects
Cracking in roads and pavements
Warping in MRT and railway
Snapping telephone wires
Cracked glassware
Cracked water pipes
Bridges may damage
Solutions
Expansion gaps (cracks in road & warped MRT)
Telephone wires strung loosely
Pyrex glass (expands very little when heated)
Rollers (damaged bridges)
Expansions bends (water pipes)
