1Temperature
The measure of the hotness or coldness of a body
2Thermometric Property
Any physical property that changes measurably with temperature
3*Demonstration of Some Thermometric Properties
*• Length of a column of liquid
• Electrical resistance
• Emf of a thermocouple
• Colour
• Volume of a gas at constant pressure
• Pressure of a gas at constant volume
4*Thermocouple diagram
*Learn*
Copper wire, Iron Wire
Cold Junction (Melting ice)
Hot Junction
Sensitive Voltmeter
5*Disagreement between thermometers
*They will agree at 0 °C and 100 °C
They generally disagree at other temperatures because Thermometric Properties do not change proportionally with the same change in the degree of hotness
Each thermometer is correct on its own scale. No one reads the 'true value' for the temperature
6Heat Capacity
The heat energy needed to change the temperature of an object by 1 K
7Specific Heat Capacity
The heat energy needed to change the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K
8Latent Heat
The amount of heat energy needed to change the state of a substance
without a change in temperature
9Specific Latent Heat
The amount of heat energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of a substance
without a change in temperature
10Specific Latent Heat of Fusion
The amount of heat energy needed to change 1 kg of a substance
from a solid to a liquid
without a change in temperature
11Specific Latent Heat of Vaporisation
The amount of heat energy needed to change 1 kg of a substance
from a liquid to a gas
without a change in temperature
12*Heat Pump
*Learn Diagram*
Transfers energy from a cooler region to a warmer one. Work must be done to bring this about. It is used in refrigerators and in air conditioning systems in buildings and cars.
The circulating liquid has a high specific latent heat of vaporisation and a low boiling point
13Conduction
The transfer of heat energy through a substance
by the passing on of molecular vibration from molecule to molecule
with no overall motion of the substance
14U-Value
The rate of energy transfer through 1 m² of a surface when a temperature difference of 1 K is maintained across the surface.
15Radiation
the transfer of heat energy from one place to another by electromagnetic waves
---
*Darker: more radiation
*Shiny: less radiation (I think)
16Solar Constant (Solar Irradiance)
The average amount of the Sun's energy falling per second
perpendicularly on 1 m² of the Earth's atmosphere.
Its value is 1.35 kW m⁻²
17*Solar Heating
Solar Panels
Tubes to heat water p172 fig 15.12
18Convection
the transfer of heat energy through a fluid
by using circulating currents of fluid.
