Term
What is heat?
Definition
The reverse of cold, something that feels warm. Heat is a form of energy, often defined as energy transfer.
Term
Heat always move from a ________ body to a _______ body.
Definition
Warmer, Cooler
Term
Heat is created _________.
Definition
By the transformation of other types of heat
Term
Give an example on how heat is created.
Definition
Mechanical energy turning a wheel, which causes friction creating heat.
Term
Heat exists at any temperature above _____.
Definition
Absolute Zero
Term
How is heat measured?
Definition
Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin
Term
Boiling and Freezing Points of the Fahrenheit scale
Definition
Boiling = 212 deg F
Freezing = 32 deg F
Term
Boiling and Freezing Points of the Celsius scale
Definition
Boiling = 100 deg C
Freezing = 0 deg C
Term
Define temperature.
Definition
The intensity of heat (measured in degrees)
Term
Formula to convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Definition
5F - 9C = 160
Term
Changes that take place when heat is added to H2O.
Definition
1. Rise in temperature (Sensible Heat)
2. May melt/vaporize (Latent Heat)
3. May change color or size
Term
Show how H2O changes when heated or cooled.
Definition
Term
What is a BTU?
Definition
Amount of heat necessary to raise 1 # of H20 1 deg F
Term
How does a BTU differ from Heat Intensity?
Definition
Heat intensity is the temperature of the substance and is measured in degrees while the BTU is the amount of heat.
Term
Define Specific Heat of a substance
Definition
Amount of energy per unit of mass required to raise the temperature by 1 deg C
Term
Formula for Quantity of Heat
Definition
BTU = Weight (lbs) x Specific Heat X Temperature Difference
Term
Define Heat Transfer
Definition
Transfer of heat from one place to another
Term
Define Conduction
Definition
transfer of heat from molecule to molecule
Term
Define Convection
Definition
transfer of heat through a medium
Term
Define Radiation
Definition
transfer of heat by rays
Term
What's Natural Convection?
Definition
Heat transferred through a fluid medium, such as air or water, by currents that result from the rising of less dense, warm fluid and the sinking of heavier, cooler fluid.
Term
What's Forced Convection?
Definition
Heat transferred through a medium such as air or water by currents caused by a device powered by an external energy source.
Term
What are the factors that effect heat transfer?
Definition
Temperature, area of the coil, depth of the coil, and water flow rates
Term
Define Thermodynamics
Definition
Study of heat transfer, how to measure heat transfer, and how temperature affects the operation of everything inside and outside the HVAC/R system
Term
As a substance is heated the molecules _______.
Definition
Move faster
Term
Heat exists in all substances down to a temperature of ______.
Definition
-463 deg F
Term
Heat energy can not be ____.
Definition
destroyed
Term
The human body gives off heat by ______.
Definition
Convection, Conduction, and Radiation
Term
How many Btu's are required to change 1 # of ice at 20 deg F to steam at 220 deg F?
Definition
1,304 Btu
Term
How many Btu's must be removed from 1 # of H20 at 200 deg F for it to end up as ice at 30 deg F?
Definition
313 Btu
Term
The temperature on the Fahrenheit scale where all molecular biology activity stops is ____.
Definition
-460 deg F
Term
True or False: When water boils at 212 deg F, it's only absorbing latent heat.
Definition
True
Term
True or False: Both sensible heat and latent heat transfers can be read by a thermometer.
Definition
False, only sensible heat can be measured.
Term
True or False: Water at 0 deg F has no heat energy or molecular activity.
Definition
False, activity stops at absolute zero
Term
True or False: Temperature difference doesn't affect heat transfer rate.
Definition
False, temperature difference is the main factor
