Transmission of Heat by Conduction: Page 42 The metal door knob has a higher rate of thermal conductivity with respect to wood. Therefore, it is able to take heat away from you faster than the wooden door. That is why it feels colder, even if they are at the same temperature. Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade • Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. Therefore, heat is transferred atom by atom. • Conduction is the best way to transfer heat in solids. Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade Note: In conduction More heat is transferred every second if: • The temperature difference (∆T) across the ends of the object is increased. • The cross-sectional area (A) of the object is increased. • The length (d) of the object is reduced. • Different object with higher thermal conductivity coefficient (k) is used. Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade • The rate of heat transferred per second can be found by Fourier’s the thermal Law: conductivity (𝑊/𝑚 ∙ 𝐾) the rate of heat transferred (W) the cross-sectional area (𝑚2 ) Q k A T =− t d the length (m) indicates that heat flows from the higher temperature to the lower temperature Practice makes perfect the temperature difference (°C, K) Physics 8th grade Note: Thermal conductivity is a measure of how well a material can conduct heat.

Conductors are materials that allow heat to flow through them easily. • Example: Metal (like copper, aluminum). 2. Insulators are materials that do not allow heat to flow easily. • Example: Wood, rubber, plastic Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade People can walk on hot coals without injury because coal is a poor conductor of heat, and they walk quickly, so their feet don't stay on the hot surface long enough to burn. Yes, if a person stands still on hot coals, they will likely get burned because the heat has more time to transfer to the skin. Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade Transmission of Heat by Convection • Convection transfers heat when warm air or liquid rises and cool air or liquid sinks, creating a cycle. • In fluids convection is the best way to transfer heat. • A convection current is the circular movement of warm air or liquid rising and cool air or liquid sinking. Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade Note: A solar chimney generates power using hot air rising through a chimney. Solar energy heats the air in a glass collector, creating an upward airflow. This moving air drives turbines inside the chimney to produce electricity.

This is called thermal equilibrium. • If there's no phase change, the final temperature is between the hot and cold object's temperatures. Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade Practice makes perfect Physics 8th grade Conservation of Energy • Until equilibrium, heat gained by the cold object equals heat lost by the hot one. • In an isolated system, energy isn't created or destroyed—just changed into heat, work, or both.
