Flashcard # 8: Water Turbines, Mass, Weight, Heat Concepts

Front

What are the three ways that heat is transferred?

Back

Radiation, conduction, and convection.

Front

What is the name of the water turbine 'C'?

Back

Archimedes Screw.

Front

How does the Sun warm the Earth?

Back

Through radiation.

Front

What is the name of the water turbine 'D'?

Back

Horizontal Axis Turbine.

Front

What is the measure of hotness or coldness?

Back

Temperature.

Front

Define conduction.

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

Define convection.

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

Define radiation in the context of heat transfer.

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is the principle behind the Archimedes Screw?

Back

It is a device for raising water, utilizing a screw mechanism.

Front

What is the function of a Horizontal Axis Turbine?

Back

It converts the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy.
