Thermal Energy Transfer Flashcards
(13 cards)
Matter
it means when anything has mass that takes most of the space in things.
States of Matter
It means a substances that exists and is a solid,liquid and gas.
Energy
it means something that can work out or use light
Kinetic energy
Its energy of an object because of motion. The word “kinetic” stems from the Greek word for motion.
thermal energy
it means the energy that can contain something with a system with temperature.
Temperture
Measures the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object of substance.
Heat
energy from warmer places to cooler places due to difference in temperature.
conduction
Its the transfer of heat through a solid material by direct contact of particles.
Covection
The transfer of heat in a fluid (a gas or a liquid) caused when hotter, less dense fluids rise and cooler, more dense fluids sink
radiation
The transfer of heat through empty space by invisible electromagnetic rays. No matter is required for the heat transfer to occur
thermal equilibrium
heat flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object until the two objects have an equal temperature
Conductor
its a ability of something that can use the energy flow and heat.
