Conduction Convection Radiation Power Point

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

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

Which is the best
(W/mk)
conductor?
Brass 106 --> Brass
Iron 84
Water 0.56
Wood 0.13
Air 0.024

Thermal conductors:
We use metals to make
cooking utensils so that
the food inside cooks or
heats up quickly.
13
Boilers in a factory or
power station have to
rapidly convert heat to
steam.
14
Radiators have to
conduct heat from a hot
source before they can
warm the air around
them.
15
Thermal insulators:
Thermal insulators are good at keeping heat out AND
keeping heat in.

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

Third method of heat transfer
How does heat energy get There are no particles

Earth so it CANNOT
travel by conduction or
by convection.

?
Radiation travels in straight lines

Radiation can travel through a vacuum
True/False
Radiation requires particles to travel
True/False
Radiation travels at the speed of light

Four containers were filled with warm water. Which
container would have the warmest water after ten minutes?

1. Nature of surface of body
2. Total surface area of body
3. Temperature difference between the
body and its surrounding

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

How does the design of the spacesuit help
astronaut survive in outer space?
45
Which features of these buildings help keep the heat out?
46
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.
The shiny metal reflects the heat radiation from the runner
back in, this stops the runner getting cold.
