Heat energy only flows when there is a temperature difference from a w______ area to a c______ area.armer ooler
Heat is a type of energy called thermal energy.
Heat can be transferred (moved) by three main processes:
1. conduction
2. convection
3. radiation
During heat transfer, thermal energy always moves in the same direction:

How are the particles arranged in a solid, a liquid and a gas?
Particles that are very close together can transfer heat energy as they vibrate. This type of heat transfer is called conduction.
Conduction is the method of heat transfer in solids but not liquids and gases. Why?
What type of solids are the best conductors?
solid liquid gas

Conduction
Conduction is the method of heat transfer in solids. If you touch the handle of a metal saucepan that has been heated, the heat from the saucepan will conduct along the metal handle into your hand.
The heat energy conducts along the
handle to your hand

Graphite is a non-metal that is a good conductor of heat. If you heat one end of a graphite rod, the heat travels to the other end.
As the rod is heated, the atoms vibrate. These vibrations make the adjacent/neighboured atoms vibrate, and so on. This is how the heat energy travels along the rod.

The outer electrons of metal atoms are not attached to any particular atom. They are free to move between the atoms.
When a metal is heated, the free electrons gain kinetic energy.
This means that the free electrons move faster and transfer the energy throughout the metal.
This makes heat transfer in metals very efficient.
Insulators do not have these free electrons, which is why they do not conduct heat as well as metals.

Liquids and gases can behave in similar ways and so are called fluids.
What happens to the particles in a fluid when it is heated?
The heated fluid particles gain energy, so they move about more and spread out. The same number of particles now take up more space so the fluid has become less dense.

Cooler regions of a fluid are more dense than warmer regions of the same fluid.
The cooler regions will sink as they have the greatest mass per unit volume.
The warmer regions will rise as they have a lower density. In effect, they float on top of the denser, cooler regions.
This is how heat transfer takes place in fluids and is called convection.

Convection currentsThe air reaching land is heated, the air becomes hotter, the air particles move faster, the air expands, becomes less dense and rises.
The air then cools, its particles move slower, it contracts, becomes more dense and falls.

•In sunshine, the land warms up more quickly than the sea
•Heat is conducted from the land to the air layer immediately next to it, so this air becomes warmer than that over the sea
•The warmer air over the land rises, because it is now less dense, and the cooler air above the sea moves inland, forming a convection current or breeze, blowing in from the sea - this is called a sea breeze

Why is the freezer compartment at the top of a fridge?
freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is at the top because cool air sinks.
The freezer cools the air at the top and this cold air cools the food on the way down.
It is warmer at the bottom of the fridge.
This warmer air rises and so a convection current is set up.
![Page 18: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Why are boilers placed beneath hot water tanks in people’s homes?
Hot water rises.
When the boiler heats the water, and the hot water rises, the water tank is filled with hot water.
Why does hot air rise and cold air sink?
Cool air is more dense than warm air.
The cool air ‘falls through’ the warm air and so the warm air rises to the top.

The water at the top quickly boils, while the water at the bottom remains cold - the ice does not melt . This indicates that water is a poor conductor of heat. Gases are also poor conductors.

Radiation
Radiation is the only method of heat transfer that does not require particles as a medium. This means it is the only
method of heat transfer that can travel through a vacuum.
Heat radiation is emitted by all objects above absolute zero and travels in straight lines.
![Page 24: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Earth is warmed by heat energy from the Sun.
How does this heat energy travel from the Sun to the Earth?
There are no particles between the Sun and the Earth so the heat cannot travel by conduction or by convection.
?infraredradiation
The heat travels to Earth by infrared waves. They are similar to light waves and are able to travel through empty space.
![Page 25: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Heat can move by travelling as infrared waves.
These are electromagnetic waves, like light waves, but with a longer wavelength.
This means that infrared waves act like light waves:
They can travel through a vacuum.
They travel at the same speed as light – 300,000,000 m/s.
They can be reflected and absorbed.
Infrared waves heat objects that absorb them and so can be called thermal radiation.

Infrared waves heat objects that absorb (take in) them.
Some surfaces are better at absorbing thermal radiation than others – good emitters are also good absorbers.
Matt black surfaces are the best absorbers of radiation.
Shiny surfaces are the worst emitters because they reflect most of the radiation away.

Why are houses painted white in hot countries?
White reflects heat radiation and so keeps the house cooler.
Why are shiny foil blankets wrapped around marathon runners at the end of a race?
The shiny metal reflects the heat radiation from the runner back in to their body, which stops the runner from getting cold.

Why is black cool?
The black smock absorbs infra red radiation from the Sun and becomes hot. It heats the air inside and causes a convection current. Cool air is pushed in the bottom. Although the air and garment are hot the movement of air keeps the person cool.

Insulation
Insulation works because of the air space…
foam, fibre glass, double glazed windows.
Poor conductors are called insulators.
Wood, snow and gases are excellent insulators.

Most energy is lost through the roof and walls.
In houses, energy is lost from the roof, the door, the walls, the windows and the floors.
In order to reduce electricity bills and pollution, energy losses must be kept to a minimum.
![Page 47: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Reducing heat loss – curtains
Curtains reduce draughts (convection currents) leaving the house. They are opaque and so don’t allow much radiated heat to pass through them.

48
Reducing heat loss – walls
This reduces heat loss by conduction through the bricks.
Most outside walls have an empty space between the two layers of bricks called a cavity.
Cavity wall foam insulation is pumped in-between the bricks to prevent convection within the cavity.

Window insulation
• Double glazed windows trap a small amount of air between two panes of glass.
• The air cannot move very much so energy loss by conduction through the glass is reduced.
![Page 50: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Preventing heat transfer at home.
Double glazed windows consist of two panes of glass with a layer of air trapped in between. This reduces conduction losses since there are two panes, so increasing the thickness of the window. Also, the air trapped in between is a very good insulator. This reduces conduction losses further
![Page 51: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

52
Reducing heat loss – roof
Loft insulation contains trapped air, which forms an insulating layer between the loft and the rest of the house.
The air heated by central heating is less dense than the cooler air around it. As a result, warm air rises.
The ceilings become heated and eventually the heat escapes through the roof.
![Page 53: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Roof insulation
Air is an excellent insulator. Fibreglass is an excellent material for trapping small amounts of air. A two or four inch layer of fibre glass insulation in you roof will pay for itself within a year.
![Page 54: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Preventing heat transfer at home.
Insulating your loft is one of the cheapest ways of insulating
your home and goes a long way to reducing heat
lost through the roof by conduction.
It also prevents energy from being wasted in heating the loft (with heat that is conducted through the ceiling of the rooms below!)

55
Reducing heat loss – radiators
Placing shiny silver-coated card between the wall and the radiator reduces heat loss by radiation by reflecting it back into the room.
Radiators heat the wall a great deal – this wastes heat energy.

56
Reducing heat loss – draughts
Draught excluders are hairy or spongy strips that close gaps and prevent the convection currents escaping.
Draughts are convection currents.
A great deal of heat energy is lost in this way but it is the easiest type of heat loss to prevent.

The structure of a vacuum flask
Screw on cover (plastic and cork are good insulators)
Vacuum. Only infra red radiation can pass through a vacuum
The inside walls of the vacuum is silver. This reflects any radiant heat that enters.

How heat transfer is stopped.
The screw cover prevents heat loss by convection as the air above the hot liquid gets warm.
Making the screw cover out of materials which are poor conductors reduces heat loss by conduction.
The inside wall of the vacuum may become hot as
heat is conducted through the glass layer, but …..
![Page 64: Energy transfer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814de2550346895dbb4fad/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
How heat transfer is stopped.
Heat cannot be lost in this region by conduction or convection since it is a
vacuum!When the glass walls of
the vacuum gets warm, it will radiate only a small
amount of heat since shiny surfaces are poor
emitters of radiation.Any heat that is radiated cannot escape however as it will be reflected by
the second silvery surface

Summary – Heat transfer•We can insulate objects, including ourselves, to reduce energy transfers from hot objects to cooler objects.
•Air is often used as an insulating material. Air is a bad conductor. Air must be trapped in small bubbles to stop it moving around. If air can move around it will transfer energy by convection.
•Common ways of insulating our homes include: roof insulation, cavity wall insulation, carpets, curtains and double glazing.
