• INTRODUCTION
➢ Calorie : It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm
water by 1ºC
➢ International calorie : International caloire is the amount of heat required to raise
the temperature of 1 gm water from 14.5 ºC to 15.5 ºC rise of temperature.
➢ Kilo Caloire : Kilo calorie is defined as the amount of heat taken by 1 kg water
from 14.5 ºC to 15.5 ºC. 1 K. cal = 1000 calorie.
➢ Relation between Heat and work : Whenever work is done an equivalent amount of
heat is always produced.
i.e. W  H or W = JH where J = Mechanical equivalent of heat
1 Calorie = 4.18 joule, 1 Kilo calorie = 4.18 × 103 Joule if H = 1 cal, then
W=J
Hence, mechanical equivalent of heat is the work in producing 1 cal of heat

• TEMPERATURE
Temperature is defined as degree of hotness or coldness of a body and its measurement is
called thermometry.
1. When heat is given to a body and if its state does not change, then temperature
of body rises and if heat is taken from a body its temperature falls, i.e.
temperature can be regarded as the effect of cause ‘heat’.
2. Two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium if and only if they are at same
temperature.

➢ Temperature scalEs
To measure temperature two fixed points are taken on each thermometer and it is assumed
that change in physical property of matter is proportional to the change in temperature.
i.e. x   t

x = physical properties
t = temperature

One of the fixed points is the freezing point of water, it is known as ice point or lower fixed
point. The other fixed point is the boiling point of water. It is known as steam point or
upper fixed point. The difference in upper fixed point and lower fixed point is known as
fundamental interval. A thermometer may be graduated in flowing scales :
(i) Centigrade scale (ºC) or Celsius scale : The upper and lower fixed points of
Centigrade scale are 100ºC and 0ºC and the fundamental interval is 100º.
(ii) Fahrenheit scale (ºF) : The upper and lower fixed points of Fahrenheit scale are
212ºF and 32ºF and the fundamental interval is 180º.
(iii) Kelvin Scale (K) : The upper and lower fixed points of Kelvin scale are 373 K
and 273K and the fundamental interval is 100º.
So following relation exists between different temperature scales.
Relation between ºC, ºF, ºR and K Temperature :

➢ Heat
Experiments show that when a body is heated, then the heat absorbed by a body depends
upon the mass of the body ‘m’, specific heat s, and temperature difference t, provided
state of body is not changes.
Q = ms
If phase changes, Q = mL
s = specific heat
L = latent heat

• SPECIFIC HEAT
This is called ‘Heat inertia’ of a substance.
Definition : The amount of heat needed for an unit increase in the temperature of unit
mass of a (substance solid, liquid or gas) is called it’s specific heat
Unit : kilocalorie/kg-ºC or calorie/g-ºC
1 Kcal/kg-ºC = 1 cal/g-ºC
(i) Generally two types of specific heat are mentioned for a gas -
(a) specific heat at constant volume (Cv)
(b) specific heat at constant pressure (cp)
(ii) These specific heats can be molar or gram, depending on the amount of gas
considered to define it

➢ Thermal capacity or heat capacity

Amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance (any amount) by 1ºC is
called thermal capacity of that substance.
Thermal capacity = (mass of body) × (specific heat)  Hc = ms
Unit = calorie/ºC or Kcal/ºC

➢ Water equivalent of a body

If m gram of a substance is given Q amount of heat which rises its temperature by T.
Now if on giving same amount of heat temperature of w gram of water is also increased by
T then w is called water equivalent of body of mass m.
The value of water equivalent of a body is same as it’s heat capacity. The difference is
only in units. e.g. If heat capacity of a body is m caloire/ºC then it’s water equivalent will
be m gram.

• LATENT HEAT
Latent heat is defined as the amount of heat absorbed or given out by a body during the
change of state while its temperature remaining constant. Latent heat is of two types :
(i) Latent heat of fusion, and (ii) Latent heat of vaporisation
➢ Latent heat of fusion
The latent heat of fusion of a substance is the quantity of heat required to change unit mass
of the solid substance form solid state to liquid state, while temperature remaining
constant.
In case of ice, the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cals.
➢ Latent Heat of Vaporisation
The latent heat of vaporisation of a substance is the quantity of heat required to change unit
mass of liquid substance into vapour state while temperature remaining constant.
In case of water, the latent heat of vaporisation is 540 cals.
The heat absorbed or rejected during change of state is : Q = ML
The heat absorbed by the substance during change of state is used in increasing the distance
between the atoms or molecules. During change of state the kinetic energy of the molecules
remain constant but the potential energy increases.

Illustrations –5: 1 g of steam at 100ºC can melt how much ice at 0ºC? Latent heat of ice = 80
cal/g and latent heat of steam = 540 cal/g.
Sol. : Heat required by ice for melting of m g of ice = mL = m × 80 cal
Heat available with steam for being condensed and then brought to 0ºC
= 1 × 540 + 100 = 640 cal
640
m × 80 = 640 or m = = 8 grams
80

➢ Law of mixtures

When two materials (solid-solid, liquid-liquid, solid-liquid) at different temperatures are

mixed then heat given by hotter system is equal to the heat taken by colder system.

Heat given = Heat taken

Q1 = Q2

m1S1 (2 – ) = msS2 ( – 1)

where m1, S1 and  are the mass, specific heat and temperature of one material and m2,
S2 and 2 are the mass, specific heat and temperature of second material.

➢ Change of State

(i) Melting : Conversion of solid into liquid state at constant temperature is known
as melting.

(ii) Boiling : Evaporation within the whole mass of the liquid is called boiling.
Boiling takes place at a constant temperature known as boiling point. A liquid
boils when the saturated vapour pressure on its surface is equal to atmospheric
pressure. Boiling point reduces on decreasing pressure.

(iii) Evaporation : Conversion of liquid into vapours at all temperatures is called

evaporation. It is a surface phenomenon. Greater the temperature, faster is the
evaporation. Smaller the boiling point of liquid, more rapid is the evaporation.
Smaller the humidity, more is the evaporation. Evaporation increases on
decreasing pressure that is why evaporation is faster in vacuum.

(iv) Sublimation : Direct conversion of solid vapourstate is called sublimation.

(v) Condensation : The process of conversion from gaseous or vapour state to liquid
state is known as condensation.

These materials again get converted to vapour or gaseous state on heating.

Illustrations –6: A tap supplies water is 10ºC and another tap at 100ºC. How much hot water
must be taken so that we get 20 kg of water at 35ºC?
Sol. : Let mass of hot water = m kg
mass of cold water = (20 – m) kg
Heat taken by cold water = (20 – m) × 1 × (35 – 10)
Heat given by hot water = m × 1 × (100 – 35)
Law of mixture gives
Heat given by hot water = Heat taken by cold water
m × 1 × (100 – 35) = (20 – m) × (35 – 10)
65 m = (20 – m) × 25
65 m = 500 – 25 m or 90 m = 500
500
m= = 5.56 kg
90

Illustrations –7: 5 g ice of 0ºC is mixed with 5 g of steam at 100ºC. What is the final
temperature?
Sol. : Heat required by ice to raise its temperature to 100ºC,
Q1 = m1L1 + m1c1 1 = 5 × 80 + 5 × 1 × 100 = 400 + 500 = 900 cal
Heat given by steam when condensed,
Q2 = m2L2 = 5 × 536 = 2580 cal.
As Q2 > Q1. This means that whole steam is not even condensed.
Hence temperature of mixture will remain at 100ºC.

Alternative method

100ºC Q3 =mL
water steam

T Q2 =msT
0ºCIce water

Q=
1 mL

Q1 = mL = 5 × 80 = 400 cal
Q2 = msT = 5 × 1 × 100 = 500 cal
Q3 = mL = 5 × 540 = 2700 cal
Ice needs 900 cal heat to convert it into water at 100ºC water so mixture
contains water and steam mixture and mixture temp. is 100ºC.

• CONDUCTION, CONVECTION AND RADIATION

Heat can be transmitted from one place to the other by three modes these are :
(1) Conduction (2) Convection (3) Radiation

➢ Conduction
Conduction is the phenomenon of transfer of heat through one part of the body to
another, from particle to particle in the direction of fall of temperature without any
actual movement of the particles.
For example : When one end of a solid is heated, its other end becomes hot. Heat goes
from one end of the rod to the other end by conduction.
In the process of conduction when an object is heated, the particle of the body at higher
temperature give heat to the particle at lower temperature. Hence the molecular
collisions takes place by which the transfer of energy occurs and the heat is transferred
from one end to the other.
Heat transfer occurs in solids through conduction, but not through convection.
Heat transfer by conduction from one part of body to another continues till their
temperatures become equal.

➢ Effects and Uses of thermal conductivity of daily life

During, winter, iron seems colder and in summer seems warmer than wood
During summer evening when the outer temperature begins to fall, the temperature of the
inner walls of the room becomes higher than that in day time
When hot water is poured in a beaker of thick glass, the beaker cracks
In winter wooden clothes, blankets and quilts filled with cotton are used
To prevent ice from melting its wrapped with blanket or felt

➢ Convection
The mode of heat transfer due to density difference in fluids (liquid+gas) is known as
convection,
In this process, transfer of heat by actual motion of particles of medium from one place
to another.
For heat propagation via convection, temp. gradient exists in vertical direction and not
in horizontal direction.
Based on gravity when zero gravity region than no convection.
e.g. Centre of earth, where g = 0, so No convection
Most of heat transfer that is taking place on earth is by convection, the contribution due
to conduction and radiation is very small.
Sp. Example Convection :
Cold air flow from ocean to ground to earth.
The upper layers of atmosphere are heated.

➢ Radiation
Fastest mode of heat transfer.
Radiation which posses through any medium must be slightly absorbed by medium
according to its absorptive power so temp. of medium slightly increases.
Radiation shows all optical properties & radiation intensity obey’s inverse square law [I
 1/(distance)2]
In order to obtain a spectrum of radiation. Normal glass prism can not be used (because it
absorbed same radiation). A special prism like KCI prism, Rock salt prism Fluorspar
prism.
Radiation intensity measured with a specific device named as Bolometer and concave or
convex lens converging all radiation at a point.
Heat radiation we always obtained in infra-red region of electromagnetic wave spectrum so that are called
Infra red rays.
Concept radiation is a broad name in which visible light also include the theoretical
wavelength range of radiation is 0 to Radiation

➢ Type of thermal radiation

Two types of thermal radiation
Plane Radiation Diffuse Radiation
N N

Radiation which are incident Incident on the surface at

on a surface normally all angles (except N)
Pressure on the surface (P)
P = 2u (Perfectly reflecting surface) P = 2u/3 (for perfect reflecting surface)
P = u (Perfectly absorbing surface) P = u/3 (for perfect absorbing surface)
where u = Energy density
➢ Device for measuring thermal Radiation -
 Bolometer  Differential air thermometer
 Thermopile  Crook’s radiometer
 Boyle’s radio micro meter
 Pyrometer – It’s measure only high temperature.

KEY POINTS
➢ The ratio of work done (W) to the amount of heat produced (Q) is always a constant,
W
=J
represented by J. i.e. Q

where J is called Joule’s mechanical equivalent of heat. The value of J = 4.186

joule/calorie.

➢ Temperature on Celcius scale. Fahrenheit scale. Reumer scale and Kelvin scale are
related as

TC – 0 TF – 32 TR – 0 TK – 273.15
= = =
100 180 80 100

➢ Various thermometers used for measuring unknown temperatures are : Jolly’s constant
volume air thermometer; Platinum resistance thermometer; Thermoelectric thermometer,
Radiation Pyrometers.

➢ Thermal capacity of a body is the amount of heat required to raise its temperature
through one degree Q = ms. From here, we may define specific heat of a body as the
heat capacity per unit mass of the body.

➢ Principle of calorimetry. When two substances at different temperatures are mixed

together, they exchange heat. If we assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings, then
according to principle of calorimetry,

Heat lost = Heat gained

➢ Transfer of Heat. Three modes of transfer of heat are 1. conduction 2, convection and 3
radiation. Coefficient of thermal conductivity (K) of a solid conductor is calculated from
the relation

DQ æDT ö
= KA ç ÷
Dt è Dx ø

where A is area of hot face, x is distance between the hot and cold faces, Q is the
small amount of heat conducted in a small time (x), T is difference in temperatures of
hot and cold faces.

(a) Here (DT / Dx) temperature gradient i.e., rate of fall of temperature with distance
in the direction of flow of heat.
