is for Absolute Zero
occurs when all kinetic energy is removed from a object 0 K = -273° C


is for Convection

The flow of heat due to the differences in temperatures through densities.

is for Degrees Celsius


The unit of measurement for temperature based upon heat and the phases of water.
is for Entropy

The measure of how evenly distributed heat is within a system, that typically stems from a system full of disorder.
A system that has a higher level of organization than another has more entropy than the more disorganized one.
The total amount of energy in the world does not change, but the availability of that energy constantly decreases.
(Second Law of Thermodynamics)
is for First Law of Thermodynamics

Law of energy conservation applied to a thermal system
Thermal energy can be increased within a system by adding thermal energy (heat) or by performing work in a system.

is for Geothermal Energy

Energy generated from the thermal energy stored beneath the Earth’s surface
Also refers to the heat that is collected from the atmosphere; for instance, near the oceans

is for Heat


A measure of energy change in a system.
Specific Heat, cp
how a substance reacts to heat energy changes.
like thermal inertia.
cp is a property of matter, and different things have unique cp.
cp is defined as the heat energy required to raise one gram of a pure substance one degree Celsius.
Devices to Measure Heat Transfer:
The Calorimeter (shown)
is for Insulators and Conductors

Conductors:
Materials that TRANSFER HEAT quickly and effectively
Thermal:
Materials that DO NOT TRANSFER HEAT very effectively
Examples of Insulators:
Rubber, Tinfoil, Wood, Wool, Fabric, Paper, and Plastic
