CT TERM4 (Heat Transfer Ppt) Flashcards
(31 cards)
What is conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself.
True or False: Conduction occurs in liquids and gases.
False
What is convection?
Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
What is radiation?
Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Fill in the blank: ________ is a good conductor of heat.
Copper
Fill in the blank: ________ is a poor conductor of heat.
Rubber
What is a good conductor?
A good conductor is a material that allows heat to pass through it easily.
What is a poor conductor?
A poor conductor is a material that does not allow heat to pass through it easily.
True or False: Metals are generally good conductors.
True
True or False: Insulators are materials that conduct heat well.
False
What causes a sea breeze?
A sea breeze is caused by the temperature difference between land and water, where cooler air over the sea moves towards the warmer land.
What causes a land breeze?
A land breeze occurs when the land cools faster than the sea, causing cooler air to move from the land to the sea.
Fill in the blank: During the day, the land heats up ________ than the sea.
faster
Fill in the blank: At night, the land cools down ________ than the sea.
faster
What is the primary mechanism of heat transfer in conduction?
Molecular vibration and direct contact.
Multiple choice: Which of the following is NOT a method of heat transfer? A) Conduction B) Convection C) Diffusion D) Radiation
C) Diffusion
What is the role of density in convection?
Density differences cause fluid movement; warmer, less dense fluid rises while cooler, denser fluid sinks.
True or False: Convection can occur in solids.
False
What type of heat transfer occurs in a vacuum?
Radiation
What is the primary factor that affects the rate of conduction?
The material’s thermal conductivity.
Fill in the blank: ________ is an example of radiation heat transfer.
The heat from the Sun
What is the difference between natural and forced convection?
Natural convection occurs due to density differences, while forced convection is caused by external forces like fans or pumps.
True or False: Insulation materials are designed to be good conductors.
False
What happens to air pressure during a sea breeze?
Air pressure over the land decreases as it heats up, while air pressure over the sea remains relatively higher.
