Understanding Heat Transfer Fundamentals

Explore the basics of heat transfer through examples like ice melting, jumping into a pool, and more. Learn how temperature differences lead to changes in energy transfer and feel the effects firsthand. Discover the principles of conduction, convection, and radiation in various scenarios that involve heat exchange.

1. CERT Educational Series Greg Monty PhD, Vicki Foust PhD, and Elizabeth Keele M.Ed Heat Transfer Enrichment I, Basics

2. Why Does Ice Melt? We have a glass of water The temperature of tap water is about 21 C The temperature of ice is about 0 C 21 C 0 C 0 C 0 C

3. What will happen when the ice is added to the water? ANSWER: The ice will melt 21 C 0 C 0 C Why? 0 C Temperature difference

4. What happens to the temperature of the water? ANSWER: It will go down Why? When heat leaves the water the temperature goes down

5. What will you feel when you jump into a pool? You will feel Cold

6. Why would you feel cold? Because HEAT flows from your body to the lower-temperature pool water! Whatever body loses heat DECREASES its TEMPERATURE

7. Have you ever put a cold cloth on your forehead because of a fever? Why? Temperature difference allows heat from body to transfer to cloth, thus reducing body temperature An ice bath would be even better!

8. Can you think of examples of Heat Transfer? Make a list of examples of Heat Transfer. Label them as either Conduction, Convection, and/or Radiation. Examples Heating pot of water on stove (conduction, convection, and radiation) Cooling of the body by sweating (radiation) Heating of buildings (Convection, and some radiation from sunlight, and some radiation of heat to outside) Cooling of buildings (Convection) Melting ice, boiling water (Convection, conduction)

9. Examples of Heat Transfer More Examples: Shivering when cold Heat from a car engine Sun Warming of earth/weather Burning of fuels/explosions Ironing a shirt, drying clothes Camp fire/roasting marshmallows

10. Examples of Heat Transfer Let s share one heat transfer example from each group!
