jiggle in place

15. Heat
 1 kilocalorie is defined as the
amount of heat necessary to raise
1kg of water by 1 degree C
 1 BTU is the amount of heat
necessary to raise 1 lb. of water , 1
degree C
 1 calorie is the amount of heat
necessary to raise 1g of water by 1
degree C
 1 food calorie – 1 kilocalorie

16. Heat Transfer
 Second Law of Thermodynamics
 Heat flows from hot to cold
 Hot Cold
 Forms of heat transfers
 Conduction
 Convection
 Radiation

17. Heat Transfer by Conduction
 Heat transfer from warm to cold due to
molecular collisions
 Conductors
 Copper
 Aluminum
 Steel
 Insulators
 Glass
 Asbestos
 Wood
 Styrofoam

18. Heat Transfer by Convection
 Transfer of heat by the
movement of warm molecules
from one region of a gas or
liquid to another
 Convective Weather
 Sun heats earths surface
 Cooler air is warmed and rises
 Causes wind, clouds, rain

19. Heat Transfer by Radiation
 Heat transfer through energy
transmitted in the form of rays and
waves
 All life on earth depends on
transfer of energy from the sun
 Radiated heat is a form of an
electromagnetic wave

20. Heat Flow and Thermal Conductivity
 Similar to flow of electricity
 Formula
 Q = Kat(T2 – T1) /L
 Q = heat transferred in J or BTU
 K = thermal conductivity
 A = Area
 L = Thickness
 T2 = temperature of hot side

22. Specific Heat
 Measure of capacity to absorb
or give off heat
 Definition:
 the quantity of heat required
to change the temperature of
1 kg of a substance by 1
degree Celsius
 Thermal inertia—resistance
of a substance to a change
in temperature

23. Specific Heat Capacity
The high specific heat capacity of water
 has higher capacity for storing energy than almost any
other substance

24. Specific Heat Affects Climate
 Specific heat affects climate
 for Europeans, the Atlantic Ocean current carries
warm water northeast from the Caribbean regions and
retains much of its internal energy long enough to
reach the North Atlantic Ocean. Energy released is
carried by westerly winds over the European
continent.

25. Which has the higher specific heat capacity, water or land?

26. Which has the higher specific heat capacity, water or land?
A. Water.
B. Land.
C. both of the above are the same
D. neither of the above
Explanation:
A substance with small temperature changes for large heat
changes has a high specific heat capacity. Water takes much
longer to heat up in the sunshine than does land. This difference
is a major influence on climate.

27. Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion
 due to rise in temperature of a substance, molecules
jiggle faster and move farther apart
 most substances expand when heated and contract
when cooled
 railroad tracks laid on winter days expand and buckle
in hot summer
 warming metal lids on glass jars under hot water
loosens the lid by more expansion of the lid than the
jar

28. Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion (continued)
 plays a role in construction and devices
example:
• use of reinforcing steel with the same rate of
expansion as concrete—expansion joints on bridges
• gaps on concrete roadways and sidewalks allow for
concrete expansion in the summer and contraction in
the winter

29. When stringing telephone lines between poles in the summer, it is
advisable to allow the lines to
A. sag.
B. be taut.
C. be close to the ground.
D. allow ample space for birds.

30. When stringing telephone lines between poles in the summer, it is
advisable to allow the lines to
A. sag.
B. be taut.
C. be close to the ground.
D. allow ample space for birds.
Explanation:
Telephone lines are longer in a warmer summer and shorter in a cold winter.
Hence, they sag more on hot summer days than in winter. If the lines are not
strung with enough sag in summer, they might contract too much and snap during
the winter—especially when carrying ice.

31. Change of Phase
 Change in a substance from one form to
another
 Fusion - Solid to Liquid
 Freezing – Liquid to Solid
 Vaporization – liquid to gas
 Condensation – gas to liquid
 Triple Point – the temperature and pressure
at which the solid, liquid, and gas phases
exist simultaneously

32. In Class Discussion
Pascal’s Principle (text 13.2)
 Pascal’s principle states that a change in pressure in one part of a fluid is
transmitted to every other part; this is also the principle behind hydraulics.
Hydraulic devices can be used to multiply an applied force with the trade-off of
having to apply the force over a greater distance. Hydraulic devices are
commonly found in many areas of everyday life.
 In this discussion, you need to:
 Research and identify a device that uses hydraulics to operate. Use the ITT Tech
Virtual Library and other resources for your research.
 In your own words, describe the device and the method to apply Pascal’s principle to it.
Use two examples to illustrate your explanation.
 Include references to all sources you used in your research and posting.
 Requirements:
 Provide a complete, well-thought-out response.
 Approx. 1 page (200 to 250 words)
 Bring your completed work to next class
 Be prepared to briefly present your response to the class
