Chp 4

Question 1

What are thermal properties?

Answer 1

Of a material are the responses of the material to changes in temperature.
Heat resistance is the ability of a material to retain its mechanical strength at an elevated temperature.
Ceramics can withstand Temps up to 5000°Friday.
Polymers can withstand Temps up to 500°F.

Question 2

What is transition temperature?

Answer 2

Is the temperature where properties of a material change.

Question 3

What is thermal conductivity?

Answer 3

Is the ability of a material to transfer heat from a body of high temperature to a body of lower temperature.
The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the faster heat cab transfer through it.
The thermal conductivity of a material is determined by its structure.
Silver is best conducting heat.
