ORIGINAL 2024 Analytical Heat Transfer 2nd Edition By Je-Chin Han, Lesley Wright
Terms in this set (15)
Original
energy transfer
Movement of energy from one system to another.
heat
Energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures; heat ALWAYS transfers from
warmer to cooler matter until all matter in an area have the same temperature
kinetic energy
energy of motion
matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
molecule
The simplest unit of a chemical compound that can exist; formed when two or more atoms join
together chemically (bond together)
, states of matter
Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid, and gas; also referred to as
phases of matter.
temperature
Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees
(usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit)
thermal energy
The total kinetic (motion) energy of tiny particles that make up matter. The faster the particles
move, the warmer the matter becomes.
density
How tightly packed the matter in a substance is (calculated by dividing mass by volume)
radiation
heat transfer through electromagnetic waves through a vacuum
conduction
Heat transfer by direct contact
