HEAT AND
TEMPERATURE
WHAT IS HEAT?
Heat is the thermal energy which transfers form one
body or system to another.
This transfer is caused by a difference of temperature.
Heat flows in
one direction:
from higher
temperature
(the cup) to
lower
temperature
(the hands).
One system
releases heat
(the cup) and
the other
absorbs it
(the hands).
THERMAL EQULIBRIUM
When two bodies or systems are at the same temperature,
they can't transfer heat between them. This is called
thermal equilibrium.
HEAT UNITS
There are two measurements of heat:
1)
2)
1J = 0,24 cal
1cal = 4184J
WHAT IS TEMPERATURE?
Temperature is the measurement of the amount of heat in
a body or a system.
Heat and temperature ARE NOT THE SAME:
Heat is energy in
transit. When a body
transfers heat to
another, its
temperature
decreases.
The soda transfers
heat to the ice cubes,
so gets colder.
When a body
absorbs
temperature from
another, its
temperature
increases.
The ice cubes
recieve heat from the
soda, so they get
warmer and
eventually melt.
...until they reach the thermal equilibrium (both systems are at the
same temperature).
CONDUCTION
CONDUCTION is how heat transfers in SOLID bodies or systems.
In conduction, heat is
tranferred by CONTACT.
Two substances at
different temperatures
transfer heat between
them through contact,
untill they reach the
same temperature (this
is, they reach the
thermal equilibrium).
