Test for Best conductor -
Rods of equal length and different material / Wax or Vaseline with pin at one end / Heat Equally / First pin to fall = Best conductor
1 of 18
Thermal Conductivity -
The measure at which a material conducts thermal energy
2 of 18
The Greater the Thermal Conductivity ....
.... The more energy it transfers per second via conduction
3 of 18
Insulators have ...
... Low thermal conductivity
4 of 18
The thicker the insulator...
... The lower thermal energy that is transferred
5 of 18
The Higher the temperature of an object...
... the more infrared radiation it emits in a given time
6 of 18
Good absorber =
Good emitter
7 of 18
Black Body -
Absorbs all infrared radiation without reflecting any
8 of 18
An object with a constant temperature ...
... Emits radiation across a range of wavelengths
9 of 18
Rescue Teams use shiny Blankets because...
... They emit less radiation so the patient stays warm
10 of 18
Greenhouse gases
...Absorb longer wavelengths and emit them back towards earth to heat it up
11 of 18
Specific heat capacity is...
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1°C
12 of 18
Energy Transferred =
Mass * Specific heat capacity * Temp change
13 of 18
Loft Insulation -
Reduces thermal energy transfer through the roof
14 of 18
Cavity wall insulation -
Reduces rate of thermal energy transfer through walls
15 of 18
Aluminium behind radiators -
To reflect all heat from the radiator back into the house
16 of 18
Double Glazed windows -
Slow the rate of thermal conduction with vacuum in the middle
17 of 18
Thicker Bricks -
Thicker bricks have lower thermal conductivity and allow less heat to be transfered
