|
Temperature
|
Is a measure of the average Kinetic Energy of the particles in the object.
|
|
|
Thermal Energy
|
The sum of Kinetic and Potential Energy.
|
|
|
Heat
|
Thermal Energy that flows from something at a higher temperature to something at a lower concentration temperature.
|
|
|
Specific Heat
|
The amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram(kg) of some material by 1 degree Celsius.
|
|
|
Conduction
|
The transfer of Thermal Energy by collisions between particles in matter. The best conductors are metals.
|
|
|
Convection
|
The transfer of Thermal Energy in a fluid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from place to place.
|
|
|
Convection Current
|
Moving heat from one place to another, like the Ocean.
|
|
|
Radiation
|
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
|
|
|
Insulator
|
A material in which heat flows slowly. For example; Wood, plastics, fiberglass, and air.
|
|
|
Insulation
|
Keeping heat inside or outside.
|
|
|
Radiator System
|
Fuel burned in a central furnace heats a tank of water.
|
|
|
Passive Solar System
|
For example, opening the windows to let sunlight naturally heat up your home. Letting it in.
|
|
|
Thermodynamics
|
Thermal Energy, heat, and work are related, and the study of systems reacting.
|
|
|
The First Law of Thermodynamics
|
The increase in Thermal Energy of a system equals the amount of work done on the system.
|
|
|
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
|
It's impossible to flow from a cool object to a warmer object unless work is done.
|
|
|
Efficiency
|
When you can create work from heat. Like a heat Engine to a vehicle.
