Heat Transfer and Change of Phase

The transfer of heat energy by collisions between the particles in a substance (especially a solid)

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Condensation

The transfer of heat energy in a gas or liquid by means of currents in the heated fluid. The fluid moves, carrying energy with it.

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Condensation

The transfer of energy by means of electromagnetic waves

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Condensation

The change of phase from liquid to gaseous.

• Boiling

• Evaporation

• Melting

• Sublimation

The change of phase from solid to gaseous, skipping the liquid phase.

• Condensation

• Sublimation

• Deposition

• Heat of fusion

The change of phase from gaseous to liquid

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Freezing

• Melting

Rapid evaporation that takes place within a liquid as well as at its surface.

• Heat of vaporization

• Heat of fusion

• boiling

• melting

The change of phase from solid to liquid

• Melting

• Conduction

• Heat of fusion

• heat of vaporization

The amount of thermal energy needed to change a substance from solid to liquid or from liquid to solid

• Heat of fusion

• Sublimation

• Radiation

• Heat of vaporization

Amount of thermal energy required to change a substance from liquid to gas or from gas to liquid

• Heat of fusion

• heat of vaporization

• sublimation
