Volume B Chapter 25Transmission of Heat
Oh no! You will spoil the flask if you put cold water in it.
After this, the flask cannot be used to keep water hot anymore.
Myth or Truth?
Why are the handles of saucepans usually made of plastic?
Why is food packed in styrofoam
boxes?
Cooling fins at the back of refrigerators.
Why are they always painted black?
What we will learn…
•Explain what is meant by Explain what is meant by conduction, convection & radiationconduction, convection & radiation
•The volume & density of a substance The volume & density of a substance will change during thermal will change during thermal expansionexpansion
•Different materials have different Different materials have different rates of heat flowrates of heat flow
Heat is a form of energy that is transmitted from a region of higher to lower temperature.

Conduction is transmission of heat through a material from the hot regions to the cold regions without any visible
movement of the material.
•Solids are better conductors of heat than liquids and gases as solid particles are closer together.
•Thus, kinetic energy is transferred more quickly in solids.
See movie
•When one end of a rod is heated, particles there gain energy and vibrate faster.
•These particles collide with less energetic neighbors.
•Some of their energy is transferred to neighboring particles which thus gains kinetic energy.
•This goes on until the cold end reaches same temperature as hot end
See movie
Observation:
Observe the lengths of wax that have melted on the different rods in a given interval of time.

Process:•When a metal is heated, free
electrons gain energy and move faster.
•They move in the spaces between atoms before colliding with some atoms and transferring energy to them.
Metals conduct heat much faster then non-metals as they have free electrons.
•Materials conduct heat at different rates
•Good conductors of heat allow heat to flow through rapidly
•Bad conductors or good insulators of heat allow heat to flow through slowly

1. Uses of Good Conductors
•Used where heat has to be quickly transmitted
E.g. Pans, kettles, cooking utensils
•Usually made of metals like aluminium, copper, steel
2. Uses of Poor Conductors (Insulators)• Use where unwanted heat has to be
kept away or to prevent heat loss. E.g. vacuum flask, handles of saucepan• Made of Cloth, plastics, wood etc
insulator
• Trapped air between 2 layers of glass is good insulator, reduces conduction of heat

Convection is the transmission of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) from the hot to the cold region by the circulating movement of the fluid.
cool (higher density)
hot(lower density)
liquid or gas
occurs in fluids (liquids and gases), but not in solids
When one part of fluid is heated, it expands, becomes less dense and rises
The surrounding cooler and denser fluid sinks
This produces a circulating movement called convection current.
See movie
•Add potassium permanganate (purple) crystals into a flask of water
•Heat flask gently just below the crystals
•Purple-streaked water rises upwards and fan outwards.
•Water becomes evenly purple in colour after a while.
7.2 Convection
Application 2: Car Radiator
• Car engines are kept cool by a water jacket
• When water in the water jacket gets heated, it flows into copper tubes which include many cooling fans.
• A fan causes air to flow past the tubes and cool water in them.
• Cooled water flows down and back into engine through a hose at the bottom.
•Fit two glass chimneys to the top of a wooden box with plane glass window
•Light a candle below one chimney
•Heat from this initiates a convection current
•Hot air flows out of this chimney
•Cold air flows in through other chimney
Sea and Land Breezes
1. Sea Breeze (Daytime)•In the day, land heats up faster than
the sea•Air above land expands and rises•Cool air above sea moves in towards
the land •This result in sea breeze
Sea and Land Breezes
2. Land Breeze (Night time)•At night, the land cools faster than the
sea•Warm air above sea rises •Cool air above land moves out towards
the sea •Result in land breeze
Hot Water System
•Boiler at bottom heats up water and causes the hot water to rise
•Hot water then moves to the hot water storage tank
•Cold water from the cold tank then moves down to replace the hot water
•A convection current is set up
Hot Water System
Air- Conditioners
•Cold air blown out by the air-conditioner sinks because it is denser than warm air.
•Warm air rises and is drawn into air-conditioner to be cooled.
•A convection current is set up

Q1. Which of the following is a good conductor of heat?
A. Water
B. Oxygen
C. Wood

Q2. Why does heat conduction take place faster in metals?
A. The molecules are larger than non-metals and this reduces the amount of time taken for energy to transfer.
B. The presence of free electrons causes heat energy to transmit quickly.
C.The molecules are packed closer than non-metals and this reduces the time taken for energy to transfer.

Radiation is the transmission of heat from one place to another by means of infra-red radiation which can travel through vacuum or air
Rate of Emitting (giving out) and Absorbing Heat by Radiation is affected by: (a) surface temperature
(b) colour and texture of the surface
(c) surface area
•Dull black surfaces are good emitters and absorbers of heat
•Shiny white surfaces are good reflectors (bad emitter and absorber) of heat
Why does the cork on the dull black surface fall off first?
Ans: Dull black surfaces are good absorbers of heat, thus it melts the wax faster

Good AbsorbersGood Absorbers Poor AbsorbersPoor AbsorbersSolar heating panels are painted in dull black paintto absorb heat from sun
Houses in hot countries are painted in white or light-coloured paint, to keep them cooler.
Light colours are chosen for clothes and cars in hot weather
