6 Heat Transfer
We have leamt that heat is a form of
nergy as it can cause change in matter.
Earlier it was thought that heat was a fiuid
that was transferred between objects at
Gifferent temperatures, We use the word
‘heat’ to mean something that feels warm,
but heat in science is defined as the
energy that is transferred from a body at
a higher temperature to a body at a lower
temperature. Therefore, heat is energy in
transit from a body of higher temperature
fo one of lower temperature. Transfer
of heat can be done by conduction,
Convection, and radiation. Once
transferred, the energy stops to be heat.
Heat can change the temperature of a
Body, cause expansion, or change its state
of matter
'tis important to note that matter does
not contain heat. Matter Contains internal
energy in the form of molecular kinetic
energy and potential energy. The process
of increasing the internal energy is called
heating, and the Process of decreasing
internal energy is called cooling.
All substances—solids, li

Temperature is a measure of average
kinetic energy of all the molecules, (Tota)
energy of all molecules divided by the
number of molecules). Since it is an
average measurement, it does not Cepeng

In that sense it does not depend on the
size of it. For example, the temperature of a

evaporation
gyaporation is the change of state
fomliquid to gas that takes place
otthe surface of a liquid. It occurs at
jemperatures below the boiling point.
We see evaporation of water around us
every day when we see a wet ground or
road drying up after rainfall, or when we
put wet clothes for drying. Evaporation
of water from oceans and water bodies
happens throughout the day. The water
that evaporates becomes water vapour in
the ai. Evaporation reduces the volume of
liquid or water.
How does evaporation occur?

down the liquid.
Evaporation is all albout the energy in
individual molecules, not about the
average energy of a system.
Factors affecting rate of
evaporation.
1. Area of the exposed surface —
Larger the area of the surface, higher is
the rate of evaporation. This is why we
spread wet clothes while drying them.
2. Temperature of the surroundings
— Higher the temperature of the
surroundings, higher is the rate of
evaporation. This is why wet clothes dry
rapidly in summer.
3. Temperature of the liquid — Higher the
initial temperature of the liquid, more is
the rate of evaporation. After a hot bath
we feel cold as warm water from the
body evaporates taking heat energy
from it,
4. Presence of water vapour in the air
— More the amount of water present
in the atmosphere, less is the rate of
evaporation. This is why wet clothes dry
very slowly in rainy season
5. Wind — More the wind, more is the rate
of evaporation. This is why wet clothes
dry more rapidly on a windy day than
on a normal day.
6. Nature of liquid — Certain liquids
evaporate more rapidly as compared to
other liquids at the same temperature,
For example, petrol evaporates more
rapidly than water.I,
Is the energy required during
evaporation and boiling same?
The energy needed for a water molecule
fo change into vapour is the same,
whether it is by boiling or by evaporation.
At a higher temperature, water molecules
need less energy to evaporate as they
already possess high kinetic energy.
However, at a lower temperature, they need
more energy. This is why water at a higher
temperature evaporates more rapidly than
water at a lower temperature. The energy
Needed for water to turn to vapour is taken
Continuously from the surroundings, and
hence the surroundings become cool.
} Applications of evaporation
* During summer, pouring cold water on
floor and then switching on a fan will
help cool the room faster. When water
evaporates it uses heat from the room
to evaporate, thus cooling the room.
The evaporation of our perspiration
(sweat) cools the skin, thus cooling the
blood just below the skin. It helps us to
maintain a cool temperature,
If you have fever, keeping a piece of
linen cloth dipped in water or vinegar
on your forehead can reduce the
temperature of your body. The cool
liquid takes heat from your body
and evaporates feducing the body

Boiling
Boiling is the rapid change of <
state from liquid to vapour at
a particular temperature.
Boiling (or vaporization) is
accompanied by formation of
bubbles. Unlike evaporation,
boiling takes place
throughout a liquid and not just at the
surface (Fig. 6.3).

Boiling explained on the basis of
kinetic theory of matter
We know that all materials are made of
atoms and molecules that are in constant
Motion. The total energy of the substance
is the internal energy of all the molecules
(which is the sum of both kinetic and

THERMAL EXPANSION
Thermal expansion is the tendency of
matter to change in shape, area, and
volume in response to a change in
temperature.
The rise in temperature increases the
energy of atoms and the average distance
between the atoms increases. So, the
matter as a whole expands. Thermal
expansion is least in the case of solids
and most in the case of gases because
intermolecular force is the greatest in solids
and the least in gases.
Solids can expand in the following ways:

decreases on cooling and increases on
heating. When water is cooled from room
temperature to 4°C , it contracts. However,
when cooled further from 4°C to 0°C, its
volume increases rather than decreasing.
This unusual behaviour of water from 4°C to
0°C is known as anomalous expansion of
water. At 4°C, water has minimum volume
and maximum density. Solid ice at 0°C has
maximum volume, and hence minimum
density; therefore, it floats in water.
