Define Temperature
a measure of the amount of kinetic energy in the atom of molecules of a substance
1 of 8
Define Heat
Is a measure of the total energy of the molecules in a substance
2 of 8
Define Kinetic Energy
the energy of movement of atoms and molecules
3 of 8
Define Potential Energy
The energy in the molecular bonds of the substance
4 of 8
At 0°k what is the temp in degrees centigrade?
-273°C
5 of 8
What are the 3 laws of thermodynamics
1) energy cannot be created or destroyed
2) Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a material at lower temp to a material at higher temp
3) The entropy of a substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero
6 of 8
The electromagnetic spectrum
(shortest to highest wavelength)
(highest to shortest energy)
Gamma ray, x-ray, UV, Visible, IR, Microwaves, Radio waves, Audio

Heat transfer radiation calculation
(Stefan-boltzmann law)

Q = AP = AεσT(to the power of 4)
Q = the energy radiated per second (Js)
P = the energy radiated per second per unit area (power per unit area) (Js)
T = Temperature in K
σ = Stefan-boltzmann constant in Wm(to the power of -2) k(to the power of -4)
ε = the emissivity (dimentionless range
