Heat and Temperature

The Effects of Heat


HEAT

  Heat is a form of energy that flows from warmer


bodies to colder bodies.
 It is viewed as a form of energy that is transferred
from one body to another due to a difference in
temperature.
  The SI unit of heat is joule (J). • Common unit of
heat is calorie.
 CALORIE the amount of heat needed to change the
temperature of one gram of water from the
pressure of the atmosphere.
TEMPERATURE

LAYMAN’S TERM - It is the degree of hotness or coldness of an


object.
Molecular level - is a measure of the average kinetic energy of
the particles in an object. When temperature increases, the
motion of these particles also increases. It's not a terrible
definition, but it's not the best either. ... The temperature is
related to the average kinetic energy—not the total kinetic
energy.
Temperature Scales

The relation between temperature in


Celsius scale (TC), temperature in
Fahrenheit scale (TF), and
temperature in Kelvin (TK) are as
follows:
𝑇𝐶 = 5 9 (𝑇𝐹 − 32) 𝑇𝐹 = 9 5 𝑇𝐶 + 32 𝑇𝐾 = 𝑇𝐶 + 273.15

𝑇𝐶 = 𝑇𝐾 − 273.15 𝑇𝐹 = 9 5 𝑇𝐾 − 459.67 𝑇𝐾 = 5 9 (𝑇𝐹 + 459.67)


What is the normal human body temperature
(37 ºC) in the Fahrenheit scale? In the kelvin scale?

37 ºC to ºF 37ºC to K
𝑇𝐹 = 9/ 5 𝑇𝐶 + 32 𝑇𝐾 = 𝑇𝐶 + 273.15
𝑇𝐹 = 9 /5 (37) + 32 𝑇𝐾 = 37 + 273.15
𝑇𝐹 = 66.6 + 32 𝑻𝑲 = 𝟑𝟏𝟎. 𝟏𝟓𝑲 ≈ 𝟑𝟏𝟎 K
𝑻𝑭 = 𝟗𝟖. 𝟔 ℉ ≈ 𝟗𝟗 ℉
Phase Change

When the
temperature of
substances changes,
the molecular
structure and
movement also
change which results
to phase change.
Thermal Expansion

Thermal expansion is the


tendency of matter to change
in shape, volume, and area in
response to a change in
temperature. Temperature is
a monotonic function of the
average molecular kinetic
energy of a
substance.Thereby, the The mass of the material is constant when it expands. Its
molecules start to vibrate and volume increases and it becomes less dense. When
move more and usually cooled, the mass also remains constant but the volume
maintain a greater average of the material reduces and it becomes more dense.
