What are the 3 ways that energy can be transferred by?
Radiation, conduction, convection
1 of 25
Heat radiation is the transfer of heat energy by...
Infrared radiation
2 of 25
Conduction is the main form of heat transfer in...
solids
3 of 25
Convection is the main form of heat transfer in...
liquids & gases
4 of 25
Where is infrared radiation emitted from?
Surface of an object
5 of 25
The hotter the object...
the more radiation it radiates
6 of 25
What type of surfaces absorb infrared radiation?
Dark, matt surfaces
7 of 25
What do light, shiny surfaces do?
Reflect infrared radiation
8 of 25
What is conduction?
The process where vibrating particles pass on kinetic & heat energy to other particles.
9 of 25
Why does heat energy travel fast in metals? (conduction)
Because metals are good heat conductors.
10 of 25
What is convection?
When the more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler - and take their heat energy with them.

Why does hot water rise? (convection)
It has a low density.

Describe the immersion heater (convection)
Water heats by the heater coils & hot water rises as it is less dense.The hotter water rises above the cooler water & displaces the colder water making it sink towards the heater coils.Convection currents take place circulating heat energy through wa

What is condensation?
Gas turns to liquid.

What is evaporation?
Liquid turns to gas.
16 of 25
Describe evaporation
.
17 of 25
The rate of evaporation will be faster if...
1) Temp is higher 2) Surface area is larger
18 of 25
The rate of condensation will be faster if...
1) Density is higher 2) Temp of the gas is lower

Explain how vacuum flasks limit heat transfer
1) Glass bottle is double walled with a vacuum, stops conduction & convection through the sides. 2) Walls are silvered to keep heat loss by radiation to a minimum. 3) Bottle supported using insulated foam, minimises heat conduction to or from the out

Types of heat transfer in homes
1) Loft insulation: Thick layer of fibreglass wool laid across the loft floor & ceiling which reduces heat loss by conduction & convection. Cavity wall insulation: Foam squirted into gaps between bricks reducing convection & radiation.

Electrical devices eg. tv
Electrical energy = Light, sound, heat energy
22 of 25
Batteries
Chemical = Electrical & heat energy
23 of 25
Electrical generation eg. wind turbines
Kinetic = Electrical & heat energy
24 of 25
Potential energy eg. bow & arrow
Elastic potential energy = Kinetic & heat energy
