Heat Transfer Practice

Front

What is the definition of CONDUCTION?

Back

When heat transfers from objects that are touching.

Front

What is the definition of CONVECTION?

Back

A hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.

Front

What is the definition of RADIATION?

Back

When heat is transferred through waves.

Front

What happens to heat transfer when two objects are at different temperatures?

Back

Heat will continue to transfer from warmer objects to cooler objects until the objects reach thermal equilibrium.

Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

A state where two objects reach the same temperature and no heat transfer occurs.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

Touching a hot stove and feeling the heat on your hand.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

Warm air rising near the ceiling of a room.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

Getting sunburned due to heat from the sun.

Front

How does heat transfer through conduction occur?

Back

Through direct contact between materials.

Front

How does convection affect weather patterns?

Back

Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating wind and weather changes.
