Q=mL
Equation to use for a phase change from solid<->liquid
Q=mV
Equation to use for a phase change from liquid<->gas
Equation to use when remaining a phase and changing temperature
Specific Heat
Amount of heat needed to raise the temperature
Latent heat
Heat released or absorbed by an object
Thermal energy
Amount of energy an object has relitive to it's heat
Thermal equilibrium
When two objects reach the same temperature after being put together
Kelvin -> Celcius
Change of 273.
Celsius -> Kelvin= -273
Kelvin -> Celsius= +273
Isothermic
~Equalling of temperature
~Thermic- Temperature
Isobaric
~Equalling of pressure
~Baric- Barametor
Isochoric
~Equalling of volume
~Also called isovolumetric
~Choric- Chorus has volume
Adiabatic
~No change in anything
~ "a"- no
Conductor
~When an item transfers heat well
~"When a woman is struck by lighting on a train, how long until it reaches the driver? Depends on if he's a good conductor."
Conduction
~Heat transfer through direct contact
~Stove top
Convection
~Heat transfer through fluid motion
~Convection oven
Radiation
~Heat transfer through energy
~Microwave
Insulator
~Item that doesn't transfer heat well
~Wooden spoon
1st law of thermodynamics
~Increase internal energy due to ading heat or doing work
~ excercising in a small room
2nd law of thermodynamics
~ Molecules want more entropy
~Kindergardners reading time vs. play time
