Do they feel hot? The heat is caused by friction. Friction happens when two objects rub together. Friction is one way to make heat! Fuel makes cars run. It also makes the electricity we use every day. Burning fuel is another way we get heat. Gasoline is a kind of fuel. When gasoline burns, it makes heat energy. The heat energy is used to make cars and trucks run. Electricity also makes heat energy. Toasters, irons, and hair dryers use electricity to make heat. Electric Rubbing your hands and wearing warm clothing help keep you warm. furnaces heat homes and schools. 5 6 Heat comes from nature, too. Lightning is a natural source of heat. And did you know that Some of the heat energy radiates away Earth has its own heat deep and is absorbed by Earth receives the atmosphere. underground? It is so hot in the light energy middle of Earth that rocks melt. from the Sun. Sometimes the melted rocks come close to the surface and heat water Land, air, and water absorb light energy that shoots out of the ground. This and warm up. shooting water is called a geyser. A lot of our energy comes from the Sun. Have you ever stepped from the shade into sunlight and felt warm? Sunlight is radiant energy. Radiant energy comes in many different forms. When sunlight hits your skin, it changes to heat. Another form of radiant energy Nature can melt rocks, heat water underground, and make gorgeous displays of heat energy. cooks the food in your microwave. 7 8 Heat energy always moves from Temperature warm places to cool places. When Everything you can touch—all sunlight hits the ground, it turns matter—is made up of particles, to heat. Then the heat moves to too small to see. These particles are the cool air. Heated air keeps always moving a tiny bit. Every Earth warm. object also has heat energy. How much heat energy an object Dark things take in more of the Sun’s has affects how quickly energy than light-colored things. its particles move. That’s why light-colored clothes keep you cooler on a hot summer day. So which would feel warmer: a white rock or a black rock? The heat energy of each particle affects how fast it moves. 9 10 We use temperature to know how much Temperature is measured in degrees heat energy things have. The hotter (°) using either the Celsius (C) or something is, the more heat energy it Fahrenheit (F) scale. has. The more heat energy it has, the higher its temperature. The higher its temperature, the faster its particles move. The less heat energy something has, the colder its temperature. The colder its temperature, the more slowly its particles move. We use a thermometer to measure temperature. Water freezes at 0°C (32°F), and it boils at 100°C (212°F). A thermometer can tell you how hot or cold the water is. Thermometer comes from two words. Thermo means “heat.” Meter means “an object used to measure.” So a thermometer is an object When particles have more heat, they used to measure how hot something is. move faster. 11 12 Heat Moves Through Things Conduction You know that the temperature of Heat moves easiest through solids. an object can change. Pizza can This is because the particles in solids be hot from the oven. Later, the are closer together than the particles pizza gets cold. The pizza changes in air or liquids. Heat moves through temperature because heat energy solids by conduction. moves through it. Heat energy Gas: Particles are farthest apart. Heat moves through solids (such as pizza) moves slowest through a gas. and liquids and gases (such as water and air). Heat energy always moves from a warmer object to a cooler Liquid: Particles are closer together. object. But it moves differently Heat moves more quickly through a through solids than it moves liquid than a gas. through liquids and gases. Solid: Particles are closest together, and in a pattern. Heat moves Heat moves through particles in pizza. through easily. 13 14 Particles higher up A good conductor are still cool and slow. is something that Particles in the heat can move fire get hot and move fast. through easily. Metal is a good conductor. Pots and pans are A metal pot is a good conductor. made of metal because it helps food cook fast. What happens to the particles in this metal rod when they touch fire? A good insulator is something that heat cannot move through easily. First, they get heat energy from the Wood and plastic are good fire. The heat energy makes them insulators. Heat energy moves move fast. The hotter particles bump slowly in these into other, cooler particles in the rod. solids. Pan This makes the cooler particles heat handles are up and move faster. The heat energy made of wood transfers up the rod until all its and plastic particles are hot. In time, the rod will because they Travel mugs keep heat in, be too hot to hold! stay cool. but oven mitts keep heat out. 15 16 Now the soup at the top of the pot is cooler. It is also heavier, so it sinks! The heavier, cooler soup pushes the lighter, hotter soup up to the top. This is why soup churns cool soup and boils as it gets hot! soup heats up burner heats the pan Convection Let’s look at how heat moves through a liquid, such as soup. A hot pot heats the soup at the bottom particles close first. The heat makes these soup together and moving slowly particles move fast. They spread out. When the particles spread out, particles far apart and the soup gets lighter! The soup at moving fast the bottom of the pot becomes lighter than the soup at the top. 17 18 Heat Energy and You Your body has ways to keep cool and stay warm. When you get too hot, you sweat. As sweat evaporates from your skin, it takes heat away from your body. Now your skin has a lower temperature, Energy from the Sun turns to heat when it is absorbed by the ground. Then heat from the ground warms the air above it. and your body feels cooler. To stay Cooler air from above pushes the warm air up. warm, you wear thick clothes. Now let’s learn how heat warms gas, They help keep in the heat. such as air. When the ground warms the air above it, the air rises. The heavier, cooler air from above sinks and pushes the warmer air up. Cooler air is always sinking and pushing up warmer air. The moving air is called wind!

  • HEAT and TEMPERATURE Heat Is a Type of ENERGY. When Absorbed
    HEAT AND TEMPERATURE Heat is a type of ENERGY. When absorbed by a substance, heat causes inter-particle bonds to weaken and break which leads to a change of state (solid to liquid for example). Heat causing a phase change is NOT sufficient to cause an increase in temperature. Heat also causes an increase of kinetic energy (motion, friction) of the particles in a substance. This WILL cause an increase in TEMPERATURE. Temperature is NOT energy, only a measure of KINETIC ENERGY The reason why there is no change in temperature at a phase change is because the substance is using the heat only to change the way the particles interact (“stick together”). There is no increase in the particle motion and hence no rise in temperature. THERMAL ENERGY is one type of INTERNAL ENERGY possessed by an object. It is the KINETIC ENERGY component of the object’s internal energy. When thermal energy is transferred from a hot to a cold body, the term HEAT is used to describe the transferred energy. The hot body will decrease in temperature and hence in thermal energy. The cold body will increase in temperature and hence in thermal energy. Temperature Scales: The K scale is the absolute temperature scale. The lowest K temperature, 0 K, is absolute zero, the temperature at which an object possesses no thermal energy. The Celsius scale is based upon the melting point and boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure (0, 100o C) K = oC + 273.13 UNITS OF HEAT ENERGY The unit of heat energy we will use in this lesson is called the JOULE (J).

  • TEMPERATURE, HEAT, and SPECIFIC HEAT INTRODUCTION Temperature and Heat Are Two Topics That Are Often Confused
    TEMPERATURE, HEAT, AND SPECIFIC HEAT INTRODUCTION Temperature and heat are two topics that are often confused. Temperature measures how hot or cold an object is. Commonly this is measured with the aid of a thermometer even though other devices such as thermocouples and pyrometers are also used. Temperature is an intensive property; it does not depend on the amount of material present. In scientific work, temperature is most commonly expressed in units of degrees Celsius. On this scale the freezing point of water is 0oC and its boiling point is 100oC. Heat is a form of energy and is a phenomenon that has its origin in the motion of particles that make up a substance. Heat is an extensive property. The unit of heat in the metric system is called the calorie (cal). One calorie is defined as the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 gram of water by 1oC. This means that if you wish to raise 7 g of water by 4oC, (4)(7) = 28 cal would be required. A somewhat larger unit than the calorie is the kilocalorie (kcal) which equals 1000 cal. The definition of the calorie was made in reference to a particular substance, namely water. It takes 1 cal to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1oC. Does this imply perhaps that the amount of heat energy necessary to raise 1 g of other substances by 1oC is not equal to 1 cal? Experimentally we indeed find this to be true. In the modern system of international units heat is expressed in joules and kilojoules.

  • Lecture 6: Entropy
    Matthew Schwartz Statistical Mechanics, Spring 2019 Lecture 6: Entropy 1 Introduction In this lecture, we discuss many ways to think about entropy. The most important and most famous property of entropy is that it never decreases Stot > 0 (1) Here, Stot means the change in entropy of a system plus the change in entropy of the surroundings. This is the second law of thermodynamics that we met in the previous lecture. There's a great quote from Sir Arthur Eddington from 1927 summarizing the importance of the second law: If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equationsthen so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observationwell these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of ther- modynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation. Another possibly relevant quote, from the introduction to the statistical mechanics book by David Goodstein: Ludwig Boltzmann who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. There are many ways to dene entropy. All of them are equivalent, although it can be hard to see. In this lecture we will compare and contrast dierent denitions, building up intuition for how to think about entropy in dierent contexts. The original denition of entropy, due to Clausius, was thermodynamic.

Notation and Sign Convention In these Lecture Notes we examine the basis of thermodynamics – fundamental definitions and equations for energy, heat, and work. 3-1. Energy. Two of man's earliest observations was that: 1)useful work could be accomplished by exerting a force through a distance and that the product of force and distance was proportional to the expended effort, and 2)heat could be ‘felt’ in when close or in contact with a warm body. There were many explanations for this second observation including that of invisible particles traveling through space1. It was not until the early beginnings of modern science and molecular theory that scientists discovered a true physical understanding of ‘heat flow’. It was later that a few notable individuals, including James Prescott Joule, discovered through experiment that work and heat were the same phenomenon and that this phenomenon was energy: Energy is the capacity, either latent or apparent, to exert a force through a distance. The presence of energy is indicated by the macroscopic characteristics of the physical or chemical structure of matter such as its pressure, density, or temperature - properties of matter. The concept of hot versus cold arose in the distant past as a consequence of man's sense of touch or feel. Observations show that, when a hot and a cold substance are placed together, the hot substance gets colder as the cold substance gets hotter.

  • Discipline in Thermodynamics
    energies Perspective Discipline in Thermodynamics Adrian Bejan Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0300, USA; [email protected] Received: 24 April 2020; Accepted: 11 May 2020; Published: 15 May 2020 Abstract: Thermodynamics is a discipline, with unambiguous concepts, words, laws and usefulness. Today it is in danger of becoming a Tower of Babel. Its key words are being pasted brazenly on new concepts, to promote them with no respect for their proper meaning. In this brief Perspective, I outline a few steps to correct our difficult situation. Keywords: thermodynamics; discipline; misunderstandings; disorder; entropy; second law; false science; false publishing 1. Our Difficult Situation Thermodynamics used to be brief, simple and unambiguous. Today, thermodynamics is in a difficult situation because of the confusion and gibberish that permeate through scientific publications, popular science, journalism, and public conversations. Thermodynamics, entropy, and similar names are pasted brazenly on new concepts in order to promote them, without respect for their proper meaning. Thermodynamics is a discipline, a body of knowledge with unambiguous concepts, words, rules and promise. Recently, I made attempts to clarify our difficult situation [1–4], so here are the main ideas: The thermodynamics that in the 1850s joined science serves now as a pillar for the broadest tent, which is physics. From Carnot, Rankine, Clausius, and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) came not one but two laws: the law of energy conservation (the first law) and the law of irreversibility (the second law). The success of the new science has been truly monumental, from steam engines and power plants of all kinds, to electric power in every outlet, refrigeration, air conditioning, transportation, and fast communication today.
