heat transfer what do you know about heat transfer?
TRANSCRIPT
CONDUCTION
The direct transfer or movement of warmth and energy from one molecule to another molecule by collision.
CONDUCTION
THERMAL ENERGYHeat moves through SOLIDS by
conduction. There are actually VIBRATING MOLECULES that pass heat to other MOLECULES.
CONVECTION
Hot fluids rise because they are less dense than cold fluids which sink. – Where on/in Earth can you find convection
currents?
CONVECTION Heat moves through GASES AND LIQUIDS (fluids)
through convection. Heated MOLECULES move away from HEAT!!! Cooler molecules replace them and become HEATED too!
When air is heated it ________. As it expands it becomes lighter and will ___________. Cooler air then sinks into its place.
Warm air rises because it is less __________ dense
expands
rise
The sun heats the atmosphere… How do you think the sun heats the atmosphere using each type of heat
transfer?
Radiation
Conduction
Convection
Suns radiation travels through space. Suns energy reaches the Earth. Air molecules are heated by radiation.
The suns energy reaches land/water. The water becomes heated by convection
The land becomes heated by conduction.
