How is heat British Unit (BTU) measured? Heat is a form of energy and is measured British in BTU’s. Thermal Unit (BTU) A BTU is the quantity of heat required to raise the tempp,erature, of one pound of , one degree Fahrenheit. 1. Heat flows from high energy levels to a lower . 1

2. Heat will n ot fl ow wi th out a 2 difference

3 3. The greater the temperature difference, the faster the energy will flow. HHteat Flows Three Ways

Conduction Conduction

The transfer of heat Example: from molecule to Heating one end of molecule through a copper tube , will a substance by cause the other chain collision end to get hot. Convection

Heat transfer by the Example: movement of •Convection oven molecules from •Forced air one place to another. Radiation

The transfer of heat Example: by passing from a Sunlight – goes source to an through a window absorbent surface without heating the without heating but the the space in surface in the room between. it is shinning on. Temperature Temperature indicates the average velocity of the molecules of a substance.

As the heat energy in a substance increases, it’ s molecules vibrate more intensely

A measures the iiintensity of this vibrat ion.

Thermometers do not measure heat, they measure the effect of heat. Temperature Animation The amount of heat (measured in BTU’s) required to raise one pound of a substance one degree Fahrenheit.

Solid Heat Energy

There are two types of Heat 1. 2. Energy 1. Is the energy of molecular

3. Sensible heat causes an increase in 3 molecular motion.

4 4. The addition or removal of sensible heat is measurable with a thermometer 1. Is the energy of molecular separation and arrangement. 1

2. Causes a ch an ge in state, whil e tteehere 2 is no change In temperature.

Mechanical refrigeration The majority of heat is The majority of the works by changing the removed from the absorbed heat is state of the . temperature controlled removed from the space as the refrigerant refrigeration system in absorbs heat when it the condenser as the changes state from a refrigerant changes liquid to a in the state from a gas back to evaporator. a liquid.

As the pressure on a substance increases, boiling temperature will increase. As pressure decreases, boiling temperature will also decrease.

Pressure and boiling temperature follow each other

At the boiling point we have both Liquid and Vapor . As the pressure increases, saturation temperature will increase. As pressure decreases, saturation temperature will also decrease.

Pressure and boiling temperature follow each other

At the saturation temperature we have a saturated mixture (both liquid and vapor are present). Atmospheric Pressure
