Unit 6

HEAT A FORM OF ENERGY

1. Memorize the following words and expressions:

Ø convection - конвекція apump - насос

Ø conduction- (електро) провідність

Ø combustion chamber- камера згорання

Ø radiation- випромінювання, радіація

Ø a light bulb - електрична лампочка

 

Read the text, study it. Find in the text examples to illustrate the ways heat travel from one object to another.

Heat A Form of Energy

Heat travels from a hot object to a cold object. You might say that heat flows down a temperature hill. So how does heat travel from one object to another? By Conduction, Convection and Radiation.

Liquids and gases do not conduct heat very well, but they can transfer heat by CONVECTION.Look at the engine at the left.Water carries heat from a hot engine through a pump and delivers it to a radiator, whose duty is to give up heat to the air. Remember, with convection, heat is transferred from one place to another by the motion of the gas or liquid. CONDUCTIONis the main way for heat to transfer through solid materials. For example, the outside surface of an engine gets hot because heat energy is transferred from the combustion chamberthrough the metal to the outside surface.

Allsolid materials conduct heat, but some do a better job than others. Generally, metals are good conductors while porous materials are not. Styrofoam is an example of a poor conductor. It is a great insulator. Good conductors of electricity are usually good conductors of heat.

The easiest way to explain heat transfer by RADIATIONis by the heat we feel from the sun. Even though the sun is about 93 million miles away from the earth, we still feel some of its heat. It travels to earth through the vacuum (no air) of space by way of rays! If you hold your hand near a light bulb(but not too close!), much of the heat that you feel is from RADIATION. How else is the light bulb transferring heat to your hand. Would you guess CONVECTION or CONDUCTION?
