HEAT

What is heat?
Heat is the energy that transfers from
a body with a higher temperature to a
body with lower temperature.

It stops to become heat when transfer

stops.
Heat moves from the source to
other objects or places.
What is thermal energy?
Energy that enables an object to
move or vibrate particles.
How is heat related to thermal
energy?
Heat is a form of energy that refers to
the thermal energy that is in the
process of being transferred.

In other words, heat is energy " in

transit".
Heat transfer is related to change in
temperature or change in the relative
hotness or coldness of an object.

Thermometer is used to measure the

temperature of a body.
Temperature is a measure of the
average kinetic energy of the particles
in a material.
The higher the temperature of a body
is, the faster is the movement of its
particles and the greater is their
average kinetic energy.
Modes of Heat
transfer
Heat can be transferred through three
different modes------ by conduction,
convection, or radiation

These modes of heat transfer occur

when you are in front of the stove
cooking food.
Conduction
Conduction takes place between
objects that are in contact with each
other.

Heat is transferred from molecule to

molecule.
The energy from your stove transfers
to the frying pan and cooks the food
in the pan.
Think of a metal spoon put in a bowl
of hot champorado.
The heat from the champorado is
transferred to the part of the spoon by
conduction.
When you touched the spoon, heat is
also transferred to your hand by
conduction.
 Conductors and Insulators
Materials that allow thermal energy to
readily pass through them are called
conductors.

Examples are metals like copper,

steel and silver.
 Conductors and Insulators
Materials like wood, cloth, plastic,
rubber and fiber glass are poor
conductors of heat.
Thermal energy doest not easily
transfer through them. A poor
conductor is called insulator.
Convection

In fluids, heat energy is transferred by

convection.
Convection is the transfer of energy
by the rising and sinking of matter
depending on its density.
When you heat water on a stove, you
will notice bubbles of water coming
up from the bottom of the pot.
Radiation
Heat from the stove reaches you by
radiation.
Radiation is the transfer of energy in
the form of invisible waves.
Radiant energy that is absorbed is
changed to heat energy.
Do you know that all objects, even
ordinary ones, give off heat into
surrounding by radiation?

The transfer of energy from the sun

across nearly empty space is made
possible by radiation.
