enFIPhysics 1 - Thermal Transfer13
Conduction : Transfer of heat by the vibration of particles
Convection : Transfer of heat by changes in density
Infrared : Transfer of heat that does not involve particles
Condensation : Droplets formed when a vapour changes to a liquid
Evaporation : Process by which a liquid changes to a gas or vapour
UValue : Thermal energy passing through 1 metre squared per second per 1C temperature difference
SpecificHeatCapacity : Energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1C
Matt : Dull, the opposite of shiny.
Expansion : Process by which a substance takes up more room because it has been heated.
Diffusion : Process by which free electrons move through a metal during conduction.
Joule : Unit of (Thermal) energy
Vacuum : Has the ability to block thermal transfer by conduction and convection but not radiation
Kinetic : The theory that all particles above Absolute Zero are in constant motion.
