TRANSFER
Temperature
• A measure of the average kinetic energy of all
particles within an object
• Indicates how warm or cold an object is with
regards to the standard
• Does not depend on size or type of object
thermometer – device used to measure
temperature
Temperature Scales
1. Fahrenheit (oF) – classic English system for
measuring temperature
2. Celsius (oC) – metric system of measuring
temperature
3. Kelvin (K) – devised by William Thomson
(a.k.a. Lord Kelvin)
CONVERSIONS
oC to oF
oF = 1.8 oC + 32 or oF= 9/5 (oC) + 32
oF to oC
K = oC + 273.15
THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM
state that exists when two bodies that are in
contact with each other no longer transfer
heat between them.
Thermal equilibrium means that an object has
the same temperature throughout its interior.
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
If two objects are in thermal equilibrium
with a third, then they are in thermal
equilibrium with each other.
• Example:
for water, it takes 1 calorie to raise the
temperature of 1 gram of water by 1oC.
So the specific heat for water is 1cal/gram
oC
PHASE CHANGES
• different substances react differently to the energy added or
removed during a phase change due to their different
molecular arrangements
• the amount of energy also depends on the mass of the
sample
• if an amount of energy Q is required to change the
phase of a sample of mass m, L = Q/m
where:
L = latent heat of the material
• the value L depends on the substance as well as the
actual phase change
PHASE CHANGES
• the energy required to change the phase is
Q = ± Lm
Latent heat of fusion – when phase change is from
solid to liquid
Latent heat of vaporization – when the phase change
is from liquid to gas
• Positive (+) – when energy is transferred into the
system
• Negative (-) – when energy is transferred out of the
system
PROBLEMS
1. How much heat must be added to 1 kg of water to change it from a
50°C to 100°C steam at standard pressure? (2.47 x 106 J)
cp water = 4.186 J/goC, Lv water = 2,260 kJ/kg
2. How much heat must be absorbed by 60.0 g of ice at –10.0ºC to
transform it into 60.0 g of water at 40.0ºC? (31.3 kJ)
cp ice = 2.108 J/go C, Lf water = 334 J/g, cp water = 4.186 J/goC
From hot to
cold.
Convection
• the process by which heat
energy is transferred by the
actual mass motion of a
heated fluid.
• heated fluid rises and is
then replaced by cooler
fluid, producing convection
currents.
• convection is significantly
affected by geometry of
heated surfaces. (wall,
ceiling, floor)
Radiation
• the process by which
heat energy is
transferred by
electromagnetic waves.
• No medium is required
