 HEAT/THERMAL ENERGY

WHAT IS HEAT ENERGY ?

Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles

called atoms, molecules, or ions in solids, liquids, and gases.
It can be transferred from one object to another. When there’s
a difference in temperature between two objects, heat flows
from the warmer object to the cooler one. In other words, heat
energy is the transfer of energy due to temperature
differences .
 TYPES OF HEAT ENERGY
Conduction : Conduction is the process by which heat energy
is transmitted through collisions betweenneighboring atoms
or molecules. It occurs more readily in solids and liquids,
where the particles are closer together than in gases, where
particles are further apart.
Convection : Convection is a process by which heat is
transferred through the movement of a heated fluid, such as
air or water.
Radiation : Radiation is energy that moves from one place to
another in the form of waves or particles.

 CONSERVATION OF HEAT
WHAT IS THE CONSERVATION OF HEAT ?
During the 1840s it was conclusively shown that the notion of
energy could be extended to include the heat that friction
generates. The truly conserved quantity is the sum of kinetic,
potential, and thermal energy. For example, when a block
slides down a slope, potential energy is converted into kinetic
energy.
 EXAMPLE OF CONSERVATION OF HEAT
The truly conserved quantity is the sum of kinetic, potential,
and thermal energy. For example, when a block slides down
a slope, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
When friction slows the block to a stop, the kinetic energy is
converted into thermal energy.

 HEAT AND COLD

WHAT IS HEAT ?
Heat is energy that is transferred from one body to another as
a result of a difference in temperature. When two bodies at
different temperatures come into contact, energy is transferred
—heat flows—from the hotter body to the colder body.
Usually, this transfer of energy leads to an increase in the
temperature of the colder body and a decrease in the
temperature of the hotter body.

WHAT IS COLD ?
A common cold is an illness caused by viruses that affects the
upper respiratory tract. It primarily impacts the respiratory
mucosa of the nose, throat, sinuses, and larynx.
 EXAMPLE OF HEAT

1. The emission of heat produced by a light bulb.

2. The process of heating a liquid, whereby the hot part
moves up and the cold part moves down.

 EXAMPLE OF COLD

1. having a temperature lower than the normal

temperature of the human body: cold hands.
2. lacking in passion, emotion, enthusiasm, ardor,
dispassionate.

 WAYS OF THERMAL ENERGY THRANSFER

Certainly! Thermal energy transfer occurs when heat moves
from one place to another. There are three primary
mechanisms for this process:

1. Conduction: In conduction, heat is transferred directly

between neighboring atoms or molecules. It typically
occurs in solids.
2. Convection: Convection involves heat transfer through
the movement of a fluid (such as air or water).
3. Radiation: Radiation is the emission of
electromagnetic radiation. Unlike conduction and
convection, it doesn’require a medium.

 COOLING AND EVAPORATION

WHAT IS COOLING ?
Cooling is removal of heat, usually resulting in a lower
temperature and/or phase change. Temperature lowering
achieved by any other means may also be called cooling. The
transfer of thermal energy may occur via thermal radiation,
heat conduction or convection.
WHAT IS EVAPORATION ?
Evaporation, is the process by which an element or compound
transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the
temperature at which it boils; in particular, the process by
which liquid water enters the atmosphere as water vapour in
the water cycle.
 EXAMPLE OF EVAPORATION
1. Drying clothes under the sun
2. Ironing of clothes
3. Cooling down of hot tea and other hot liquids
4. Wet floors
5. Melting of ice cubes
6. Preparation of common salt
7. Evaporation of nail paint remover
8. Drying of wet hair
9. Drying of water bodies
  SUMMARY ABOUT HEAT/THERMAL ENERGY

In summary, heat and thermal energy play crucial roles in our

daily lives, from cooking food to regulating our body
temperature. Understanding these concepts helps us appreciate

the intricate dance of energy in the universe!
