Chapter 1
Matter, Energy, and Heat Basics
2
Matter
• Any substance that has weight, mass, and occupies space.
• Called an element when in the form of only one of the naturally occurring substances.
• The atom:– Smallest particle of an element– Also considered to be matter
• Can exist in any one of three physical states:– Solid, liquid, or gas
3
Solids
• A substance that has definite volume and sufficient mechanical strength.
• Exert all their forces in the downward direction toward either the surface on which they are resting or toward the earth.
4
Solids
• A block of ice. • A piece of wood.
5
Liquids
• Liquids have definite volumes, but do not have definite shapes.
• The shape a liquid takes depends on the shape of the container that holds it.
6
Gases• Gases have neither definite volume nor definite
shape.
• Gas molecules have little attraction for each other; the gas will completely fill any vessel that contains it.
• A gas exerts pressure in all directions against the walls of the container that holds it.
• Gas laws determine the behavior of contained gases.– Boyle’s Law– Charles’ Law– Dalton’s Law
7
Gases
Gas molecules exert pressure on the walls of a balloon.
8
Boyle’s Law
• States that there is a definite relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas if the temperature is kept constant.
• States that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related:– If the volume is decreased, the pressure will
increase– If the volume is increased, the pressure will
decrease
9
Charles’ Law
• States that there is a definite relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas if the pressure is kept constant:– If the volume increases, the temperature increases– If the volume decreases, the temperature decreases
• States that there is a definite relationship between the pressure and temperature of a gas if the volume is kept constant:– If the pressure increases, the temperature increases– If the pressure decreases, the temperature decreases
10
Dalton’s Law
• States that the total pressure of a confined mixture of different gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of each gas in the mixture.
11
Dalton’s Law
12
First Law of Thermodynamics
• States that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another.
• Simply stated, when one form of energy is generated, it is done so at the expense of another energy form.
13
Second Law of Thermodynamics
• States that energy tends to degrade into low-level heat energy.
• Heat energy is a byproduct of energy conversion and flows from a warmer substance to a cooler substance.
14
Work
• Work is defined as the force exerted times the distance an object is moved.
• Work occurs when a force moves a mass a certain distance:– If no movement results, no work is being done
15
Work
16
Power
• Power is the rate of doing work, which is the amount of work per unit time.
• The term horsepower (hp) is used to measure units of power:– During the 18th century, it was determined that
a horse could lift 33,000 pounds to a height of 1 foot in one minute
– Lifting 33,000 pounds to a height of 1 foot in 30 seconds would therefore be equal to 2 horsepower
17
British Thermal Units
• Heat content is measured in British thermal units (Btu):– The Btu is defined as the amount of heat
required to raise one pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit
– Raising the temperature of one pound of water from 68°F to 70°F would therefore require 2 Btu of heat energy
18
British Thermal Units
19
Temperature Scales
• On the Fahrenheit temperature scale, water boils at 212 degrees and freezes at 32 degrees.
• On the Celsius temperature scale, water boils at 100 degrees and freezes at 0 degrees.
• Absolute zero, the temperature at which all molecular movement stops, is –460°F or –273°C
• On the Rankine and Kelvin scales, absolute zero is at 0 degrees (–460°F).

Temperature Scales
21
Conduction
• The heat transfers from one molecule to another within the substance.
• Metallic substances conduct heat better than nonmetallic substances.
• Good conductors of heat are typically good conductors of electricity.
22
Conduction
23
Convection
• Convection is the transfer of heat by a flowing medium.
• Heat transfer by convection takes place in liquids and gases, typically water and air.
• The process of convection can be sped up by using fans or pumps.
24
Convection
25
Radiation
• Heat that moves in the form of straight rays:– These rays produce heat when they come in
contact with a surface without heating anything in their path
26
Radiation
27
Sensible Heat
• Heat transfers that can be sensed with a thermometer:– Changing the temperature of air from 78°F to
72°F– Changing the temperature of water from 70°F
to 75°F– Changing the temperature of steam from
220°F to 230°F• The state of the substance remains
unchanged.
28
Latent Heat
• In this process, heat is known to be added, but no temperature rise is measured.
• It results in a change of state with no change in temperature:– Changing ice at 32°F to water at 32°F– Changing water at 212°F to steam at 212°F
• Latent heat transfers cannot be measured with a thermometer.
29
Latent Heat
30
Pressure
• The force that is exerted on the walls of a vessel.
• Measured in force per unit area:– Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch– Gauge pressure (PSIG) reads 0 psi at atmospheric
pressure– Absolute pressure (PSIA) reads 14.7 at atmospheric
pressure– Vacuum pressure is a reading below atmospheric
pressure
