    The document is from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technology University of Panama and appears to be information for students in their Bachelor of Automotive Mechanics program during the first semester of 2020. It contains 5 short questions about thermodynamics topics, defining thermodynamics as the study of heat transfer, combustion as the release of chemical energy through burning fuel, thermal conductivity as affecting the ability of materials to transfer heat through conduction, convection as the transfer of heat through molecular currents in fluids, and thermal radiation as the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

    English First semester, 2020

    1. What does thermodynamics’ study?


    a) Studies the transfer of heat and its applicability to engineering.

    2. What is combustion?
    b) When fuel burns chemical energy is released is heat. This process, called combustion, is
    used to generate heat in many situations. People use energy from combustion in car
    engines natural gas stove, and campfires.

    3. What does a thermal conductivity affect?


    a) When objects come into direct contact, they transfer heat by conduction. A material's
    thermal conductivity affects its ability to transfer heat by conduction.

    4. When does convection occurs?


    a) occurs when heat is transferred through molecular currents in a fluid. Conventional
    ovens and automobile engine cooling systems transfer heat by convection

    5. What is thermal radiation?


    a) Thermal radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Heat energy
    from the sun is transferred to the Earth as radiation. This process is also used in
    microwave ovens.
