?
Where does energy flow from and to?
A warmer to a colder body
1 of 10
What is heat a measurement of?
Internal energy
2 of 10
What is specific heat capacity?
Energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg by 1 degrees
3 of 10
What is specific heat capacity measured in?
Joules per kilogram degree celsius
4 of 10
Equation for energy transfer by specific heat capacity?
Energy transferred = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
5 of 10
What is specific latent heat?
The energy needed to melt/boil 1kg of the material
6 of 10
What is specific latent heat measured in?
Joules per kg
7 of 10
How do double glazing windows reduce energy loss?
Conduction, the space between is filled with gas or contains a vacuum. The particles are very far apart so it is difficult to transfer energy
8 of 10
Equation for density
Mass/Volume
9 of 10
Equation for efficiency
Useful energy output (x100%) / Total energy input
