enFIPhysics 1 Thermal Transfer13
Conduction : Process of thermal transfer in which energy is passed on by collisions
Convection : Process of thermal transfer caused by changes in density
Radiation: Process of thermal transfer which does not rely on particles
Infrared : Electromagnetic waves between visible light and microwaves on the spectrum
Expansion : Process by which heated objects get bigger
Evaporation : Change of state from liquid to gas
Condensation : Change of state from gas to liquid
UValue : Energy transferred in 1 s through an area of 1 metre squared with a temp difference of 1C
SpecificHeatCapacity : Energy needed to raise the temp of 1kg of a substance by 1C
Joule : Unit of (Thermal) energy
Matt : Dull, not shiny
Diffusion : process by which free electrons move through a metal during conduction
Kinetic : Theory, part of which says all particles above Absolute zero are constantly moving
Vacuum : Has the ability to block conduction and convection but not radiation
