Conduction Convection Radiation

Here are two ideas where different types of heat transfer could potentially benefit society: 1. Conduction - Insulated homes: Houses built with highly conductive materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings that efficiently conduct heat inside during winter and outside during summer. This could significantly reduce home heating and cooling costs. 2. Convection - Renewable energy plant: A power plant that uses convection currents of hot air or water to generate electricity in a sustainable way. For example, a system that uses the natural convection of warm ocean currents to turn turbines and produce hydroelectricity without fossil fuels. In both cases, understanding and utilizing the natural processes of heat transfer could help address energy needs and environmental challenges in an

HEAT TRANSFER

Question
► If a cup of coffee and a red popsickle were left on the
table in this room what would happen to them? Why?
► The cup of coffee will cool until it reaches room
temperature. The popsickle will melt and then the
liquid will warm to room temperature.
►Thermal energy transfer is heat
moving from a warmer object to
a cooler object.
How is Heat Transferred?

There are THREE ways heat can


move.

– Conduction

– Convection

– Radiation
CONDUCTION
►Heat is transferred from one
particle of matter to another in
an object.
►Conduction = CONTACT
Have you ever…
►Touched a metal spoon sitting in a pan
of boiling water only to be surprised by
HOW hot it is?

What conducts heat better,


metal or nonmetal? Why?
Metals are different

The outer e______


lectrons of metal atoms
drift, and are free to move.

When the metal is


heated, this ‘sea of
electrons’ gain k
energy and transfer it
throughout the metal.

Insulators, such as w___ and p____, do not


have this ‘sea of electrons’ which is why they
do not conduct heat as well as metals.
Why does metal feel colder than wood, if they
are both at the same temperature?

Metal is a conductor, wood is an insulator. Metal


conducts the heat away from your hands. Wood
does not conduct the heat away from your hands as
well as the metal, so the wood feels warmer than
the metal.
EXAMPLE OF CONDUCTION
►A piece of cheese melts as
heat is transferred from the
meat to the cheese (Contact)
CONVECTION
►Convection is the movement that
transfers heat within fluids
►Fluids = anything that flows
►Heat is transferred by currents within
the fluid or gas
Water movement

Cooler Convection
water sinks current

Cools at the
surface

Hot water
rises
Examples of Convection:
►Have you ever noticed that the
air on the second floor of your
house is warmer than the first
floor? Or that water in a pool
is cooler at the deep end?
Examples of Convection
►Convection currents
cause the cooler
breezes you
experience by a
large body of water.

►These currents also


cause the movement
of magma within the
earth.
RADIATION
►Radiation is the transfer of energy by
waves
►What type of waves?
►ELECTROMAGNETIC
►Radiation does NOT require matter to
transfer thermal energy
Radiation May Come From
Other Sources

Have you ever sat too close to a


campfire? You’re enjoying the warmth
….. only to notice that your skin is
really warm?
Examples of RADIATION

1. Fire
2. Heat Lamps
3. Sun
Radiation

Radiation travels in straight lines


True/False
Radiation can travel through a vacuum
True/False
Radiation requires particles to travel
True/False
Radiation travels at the speed of light
True/False
Emission experiment
Four containers were filled with warm water. Which
container would have the warmest water after ten minutes?

Dull metal Shiny


black

Shiny metal Dull


black
shiny metal container would be the warmest after ten
The __________
minutes because its shiny surface reflects heat radiation
_______ back
dull black container
into the container so less is lost. The ________
emitting heat
would be the coolest because it is the best at _______
radiation.
1. Which of the following is not a
method of heat transfer?

A.Radiation
B. Insulation
C. Conduction
D.Convection
2. In which of the following are the
particles closest together?

A.Solid
B. Liquid
C. Gas
D.Fluid
3. How does heat energy reach the
Earth from the Sun?

A.Radiation
B. Conduction
C. Convection
D.Insulation
4. Which is the best surface for
reflecting heat radiation?

A.Shiny white
B. Dull white
C. Shiny black
D.Dull black
5. Which is the best surface for
absorbing heat radiation?

A.Shiny white
B. Dull white
C. Shiny black
D.Dull black
►As a group come up with two
ideas/inventions where
conduction, convection or
radiation can be used to make
society better.
►Does not have to be real,but must be
realistic!
►Be able to explain how this type of
heat transfer works and makes society
better.
