Ch. 15B-1 Heat Transfer - questions

Use your textbook to describe each of the following types of heat transfer and give
an example.
1. Conduction - __________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
2. example - _____________________________________________________________
3. Convection - __________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
4. example - _____________________________________________________________
5. Radiation - __________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
6. example - _____________________________________________________________

Use your study guide and textbook. In each of the following statements, a term has
been scrambled. Unscramble the term and write it on the line provided. (some
answers are two words)

______________7. Conduction can take place in solids, liquids, and sages.

______________8. Convection can not take place in lidsos.
______________9. Any material that allows heat to pass through it easily is a roconcutd.
______________10. Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of
ltocrmagnetecevaews.
______________11. When an object increases in temperature it naigs thermal energy.
______________12. Many good conductors, such as silver and copper, are lemtas.
______________13. Energy that travels by radiation is often called darintagreeny.
______________14. Insulators, such as wood and air, are poor conductors of thea.
______________15. The transfer of thermal energy by convection and conduction both
require atterm.
______________16. If particles move more llsowy, the object’s temperature falls.
_____________17. Radiation in the only method of heat transfer that occurs in a uacuvm.
Determine whether the italicized term makes each statement true or false. If the
statement is true, write true in the blank. If the statement is false, write in the blank
the term that makes the statement true.

______________18. Materials that are poor conductors are poor insulators.

______________19. The transfer of energy through matter by direct contact of its
particles is convection.
______________20. The transfer of energy in the form of waves is conduction.
______________21. Solids usually conduct heat better than liquids and gases.
______________22. Air is a poor heat conductor.
______________23. Wind and ocean currents are examples of conduction currents.
______________24. Thermal energy is only transferred in a vacuum by radiation.
______________25. As water is heated, it expands, becomes less dense, and rises.
______________26. Dark-colored materials absorb less radiant energy than
light-colored materials.
Circle the object in each pair that is a better conductor of thermal energy. In the
blank, explain why that object is a better conductor.
27. a silver spoon OR a helium-filled balloon
________________________________________________________________________
28. a winter jacket OR a tank filled with water
________________________________________________________________________
29. an aluminum pot OR a glass of iced tea
________________________________________________________________________
30. a plastic foam cup OR a glass
________________________________________________________________________
How does a cooler resist the flow of energy for each of these types of heat transfers?
