HEAT ENGINE
A heat engine is any device that changes thermal energy into mechanical energy so work can be done.
Mechanical work can be done only if heat flows from a high-temperature to low-temperature region.

The process of an internal combustion engine resembles that of a heat engine.

HEAT ENGINES
Only some of the heat transferred from the high-temperature region can be transformed into mechanical energy (work). The remainder of the thermal energy is exhausted as waste heat.

Melting and Evaporation Require Input of Thermal Energy
Melting (requires heat of fusion) Heat of fusion is released when liquids freeze
Evaporation (requires heat of vaporization) Heat of vaporization is released when gases
condense
Evaporation vs. Condensation
Evaporation is a cooling process
Evaporation causes the temperature of the liquid to decrease (removes thermal energy from surroundings)
Condensation is a warming process
Condensation causes the temperature of the surroundings to increase (adds thermal energy to the surroundings)
If you heat a solid sufficiently, it will melt and become a liquid.
If you heat the liquid, it will vaporize and become a gas.
The change in the internal energy of a substance causes the change of phase.
23.8 Energy and Changes of Phase
The cloth covering on the sides of the canteen promotes cooling when it is wet. As the faster-moving water molecules leave the cloth, the temperature of the cloth decreases.

Starter Question #2How does a thermometer work?
The kinetic theory be used to explain expansion and contraction of materials when the temperature of the material changes.
As the temperature rises, heat is transferred from the surroundings to the liquid inside the thermometer and the molecules that compose the liquid vibrate faster. This causes the liquid to expand and rise.
As the temperature falls, heat is transferred away from the liquid inside to the surroundings and the molecules that compose this liquid slow down. This causes the liquid to contract.
The liquid in the thermometer stops rising or falling when thermal equilibrium is reached (no more heat flow!)
Air temperature = Liquid temperature
Winter Vs. Summer Heat Flow
In winter-Heat loss from inside
(warmer) to outside (colder)
-Heating system must operate to transfer thermal energy from fuel to fluid to room to keep house warm
In summer-Heat gain from
outside (warmer) to inside (cooler)
- Cooling system must operate to transfer incoming heat entering the house back to the outside
Water has a high specific heat and is transparent, so it takes more energy to heat up than land does.
21.7 The High Specific Heat Capacity of Water
Moderating Effect of Water on Climate
Water has a high specific heat capacity. This means…
It takes a large amount of heat to raise its temperature
It absorbs a large amount of heat It stores a large amount of heat It has to give up a large amount of heat in
order to cool down It takes a long time for water to cool down
Moderating Effect of Water on Climate
During the summer, surrounding air is cooled by the water and keeps the coast cooler than the intercontinental locations.
During the winter, the surrounding air is warmed by the water and keeps the coast warmer than the intercontinental locations.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Water stores and hold heat well because of its high specific heat. This affects global climate.
21.7 The High Specific Heat Capacity of Water
Gulf Stream brings warm water northeast from the Caribbean.
The Gulf Stream (warm water from equator)
meets The Labrador
Current (cold water from polar region)

Climate of America
On the west coast, air moves from the Pacific Ocean to the land.
• In winter, the water warms the air that moves over it and warms the western coastal regions of North America.
• In summer, the water cools the air and the western coastal regions are cooled.
21.7 The High Specific Heat Capacity of Water
The central interior of a large continent usually experiences extremes of temperature.
Land, with a lower specific heat capacity, gets hot in summer but cools rapidly in winter.
Climate of Europe
Look at a world globe and notice the high latitude of Europe.
Both Europe and Canada get about the same amount of the sun’s energy per square kilometer.

The Gulf Stream brings warm winters to Ireland and the prevailing winds off the Atlantic carry with them rain. It means grass can grow almost all year round — creating the lush sweeping pastures of the Emerald Isle. Today they make up 93 percent of all farmland. No other country in Europe has quite as much grass as Ireland.

• The hemisphere tilted toward the Sun receives sunlight at higher angles than the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun.
• Higher insolation angle means greater intensity of radiant energy (the sun shines more directly on a smaller area).

FUNCTION OF A REFRIGERATORFUNCTION OF A REFRIGERATOR
Remove unwanted Thermal Energy from inside
Deposit unwanted Thermal Energy on the outside
By evaporation
By condensation
HOW DO AIR CONDITIONERS HOW DO AIR CONDITIONERS AND REFRIGERATORS WORK?AND REFRIGERATORS WORK?
Evaporation of refrigerant removes thermal energy from inside. Evaporation occurs when liquid refrigerant is
allowed to expand (pressure release—lowers vaporization point—heat drawn from food causes evaporation)
Condensation of refrigerant releases thermal energy to the outside Work must be done by the compressor to
compress the refrigerant gas so that the thermal energy drawn from food is released outside when the gas is forced to condense under pressure)
22. How do natural systems tend to proceed?
According to the second law of thermodynamics, in the long run, the entropy of a system always increases for natural processes.
24.7 Entropy
Natural systems tend to proceed toward a state of greater disorder.
The universe trends from a higher state to a lower state of organization.
Examples: Air flows from high to low pressureHeat flows from hot to cold
24.6 Order Tends to Disorder
Entropy is the measure of the amount of disorder in a system.
Disorder increases; entropy increases.

This run-down house demonstrates entropy. Without continual maintenance, the house will eventually fall apart.
