Heat Transfer

• Heat transfer • Everything is made of molecules.

• When molecules gain energy they
move faster and create more heat.
• (The faster the molecules move the
hotter they are)

Evaporation
Melting

Freezing Condensation

Solid liquid Gas

1. What happens to molecules as you add heat?
2. Are the molecules of water moving faster or
slower in cold water? Why
3. Evaporation is when a Liquid turns into a
____________. Heat is __________.

4. Freezing is when a _________ turns into a

____________. Heat is _____________.
5. If the molecules are moving faster and our
more spread out. Was heat added or
removed?
• Heat • Is the transfer of thermal energy
from a hotter object to a cooler
one until both objects are the
same temperature.
(You can not transfer cold or give
someone cold)

1. Which direction does heat transfer?
A. From warmer to cooler
B. From cooler to warmer
C. both directions
2. When you touch something cold which
direction is heat being transferred? Why?
3. Explain why you feel cold when you touch
something that is cold.
 3 ways that heat is
transferred within the
atmosphere
•Radiation
•Conduction
•Convection
The first method of heat transfer
How does heat energy get from the
Sun to the Earth?

RADIATION
?
• Radiation • The direct transfer of energy
by infrared electromagnetic
Waves.

What creates • Sun, fire, light bulbs

electromagnetic
waves?

Conduction
When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat travels to the other
end.

As you heat the metal, the particles vibrate, these vibrations make the
adjacent particles vibrate, and so on and so on, the vibrations are passed
along the metal and so is the heat. We call this?

• Convection • The transfer of heat by
movement of a fluid (liquids and
gases).

troposphere convection work together to heat
the troposphere.
• Radiation- heats the Earth
• Conduction- Air near earth’s
surface is warmed
• Convection- the warm air
molecules rise and transfer heat
to the cooler air molecules.
Eventually these molecules cool
and sink back down to earth. This
creates Convection Currents.

Heat transfer from a hotter object to a
cooler object until both objects are the
same temperature.
3 types of heat transfer
• Radiation – electromagnetic waves
• Conduction – touching
• Convection- through a fluid (liquid or gas)
• All 3 work together to heat the
troposphere but Convection causes most
of the heating.

Applications of Heat Exchangers

Heat Exchangers
prevent car engine
overheating and
increase efficiency
Heat exchangers are
used in Industry for
heat transfer

Heat

used in AC and
furnaces
