Temperature,
Heat Transfer

What is Temperature?
Microscopic View
Energy due to random jiggling of molecules
Related to average molecular speed;     500 m/s (=1100 mph) at room temperature for air

Temperature and Density
Consider volume of air
If air is warmed:
The molecules will move faster, have ÒstrongerÓ collisions, and tend to become spaced farther apart
Volume increases, so density decreases
Warmer ó less dense

Temperature Scales
Fahrenheit (oF) - relative
US public standard
Celsius (oC) - relative
Freezing point 0oC
Boiling point 100oC
oC= 5/9 (oF-32)
Kelvin (K) - absolute
K= oC+273

What is Heat?
Heat-Energy in the process of being transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object
Consider a pot of water on a hot burner.
Consider the following questions:

Heat Transfer Questions
What causes theÉ
Pan bottom and handle to get warmer?
Top of the water to become warmer?
Water temperature to not exceed 100oC?
Region away from side of pan to feel warm?

Conduction
Heat transfer due to collision of molecules.
Conduction warms the bottom of the pan!
Conductivity - rate of heat transfer across a 1 cm thick slab of material if one side is kept 1oC warmer than the other
Cheap Experiment: Touch your chair!

Heat Conductivity
Convection
Heat transfer due to vertical exchange of mass
Occurs in fluids (liquids, gases) because of gravity
Warm, buoyant air rises - Cool, dense air sinks
Convection warms top of liquid!

Heat Transfer Questions
What causes theÉ
Pan bottom and handle to get warmer?
Top of the water to become warmer?
Water temperature to not exceed 100oC?
Region away from side of pan to feel warm?

Modes of Heat Transfer
Take Home Concepts
Heat-Energy transfer due to temperature differences
Three modes of heat transfer
Conduction – molecule to molecule
Convection – transport of fluid
Radiation – electromagnetic waves
Latent Heat – energy of phase changes
