Insolation
What do insolaters do?
inhabits the flow of electrical current or heat
What are 2 types of heat transfer
Conduction, Convention.
What does Conduction do for heat transfer
Transfers heat directly through solid materials or between surfaces in contact through molecular collisions
Is energy absorbed or released when ice melts?
Is energy absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces?
What is cinduction
a transfer of heat
What factors affect the amount of isolation received at the surface?
Latitude.
What are 4 types of transfers of heat
Conduction, Convection, Radiation, And Advection
What are other names for heat transfer
Thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation.
What happens to molecules during melting
Molecules move from vibrating in place
What items are good conductors?
Metals.
What happens to isolation on a cloudy day?
Reduce the amount of solar radiation
conduction, convection, radiation
What are the 4 transfers of heat?
convention, radiation, conduction, mass transport.
What is it called when a gas turns directly into a solid?
Deposition.
What is an example of conduction?
Touching a hot stovetop
Difference between isolation and reflection?
Insolation is incoming energy, and reflection is the bouncing of this energy off surfaces
What are the five types of heat transfer
conduction, convection, radiation, phase changes, heat transfer, and thermal engineering
What does Radiation do for Heat transfer?
Enables energy transfer between objects at different temperatures, with hotter surfaces emitting more radiation.
What is it called when a solid turns directly into a gas
Sublimation.
Why is air a poor conductor?
Because its molecules are spaced far apart.
When is the intensity of isolation the highest?
What are 7 types of Heat transfer
Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Advection, Phase change, Evaporation, Condensation
What causes Convection currents?
Caused by heating and cooling fluids
What is temperature called when a liquid turns into a soild
The freezing point.
How does a thermos minimize conduction
The vacuum between the inner and outer walls.
