TEMPERATURE AND HEAT

OBJECTIVE
Student should be able to
1. Describe temperature and heat.
2. Exposed three (3) processes of Heat Transfer
3. Solve problems related to heat quantity and
specific heat capacity.
 Degree of hotness
or coldness of the
substance Symbol: θ
Sl Unit: Kelvin, K
Measure of
thermal energy
TEMPERATURE
Sl Unit: Calories/ Joule
Symbol: Q
3 process of heat transfer
energy that is
transferred from a
hot object to the HEAT
cold object.
 Always flows from a
Known as a thermal region of high
energy/ heat energy. temperature to a region
of lower temperature.

Heat, Q= mcΔθ
Q = Thermal energy
m = mass of the substance
c = Specific Heat Capacity
Δθ = change in temperature
The amount of heat that SI unit: each substance
must be needed to raise the J/kg oC has a different
temperature by 1oC for a specific heat
mass of 1 kg of the substance. capacity.

Q
Specific Heat Capacity, c=
mΔθ
Q
Heat Capacity, C=
Δθ

The amount of heat required to raise SI unit:

the temperature by 1oC. J/ oC
Solid material Need medium

CONDUCTION

From high temperature to lower

temperature.
Have you ever…
 Fluid/ gas movement
by itself

CONVECTION

Hot fluid/ gas will Cold fluid/ gas

lighten and move more heavy will go
up down
The way that heat is transferred by hot
liquids or gases rising. Hot, less dense
water rises.

Water cools,
becomes
more dense,
sinks.

Boiling the water

form of electromagnetic
waves or photons RADIATION

Examples: Fire,

get from the Sun to the
Earth?

??????
1. Name three (3) processes of Heat transfer
2. Give two (2) examples for every processes
of heat transfer
3. Differentiate between three (3) processes of
heat transfer
 The heat from the stove
transfers to the pan via
CONDUCTION

The element transfers

The heat is transferred
heat to the kitchen via
through the water via
RADIATION
