Topic 1: Using Energy From Heat

Thermal Energy, heat and infrared radiation are all the same.

We have always used heat in different forms and technology has changed the way we get our heat energy.

Think about it!

How do people use thermal energy?

How have these uses changed over time?

How were people able to stay warm enough to live in soddies?

Measuring TemperatureTopic 2

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance

Heat is the total kinetic energy of a substance

Measuring Temperature

Temperature can show how hot or cold something is.

Touch and sight can help us determine the temperature of something

When we talk about temperature how can we describe it accurately? Cold, colder, coldest Hot, hotter, hottest

Thermometers

Thermo = related to heat

Meter = method of measurement

Galileo invented the first thermometer around 1600

What’s missing from these 1700’s thermometers?

Thermometers

The first precise thermometers were created by Fahrenheit

The most commonly used scale was created by Anders Celsius in 1742

Temperature Scales – Celsius

Celsius based his scale on the properties of water at sea level 0 – the temperature at which ices melts 100 – the temperature at which water

boils The space was divided into 100 equal

units

The two temperatures can be used to calibrate a thermometer (p. 195)

Temperature Scales – Celsius Pressure can affect the freezing and

boiling point of water High pressure can allow ice to melt at

lower temperatures than 0˚C Ice skates Glide on a thin layer of water

Low pressure can allow water to boil at a lower temperature than 100˚C Water boils at about 69˚C on Mt. Everest

Impurities affect freezing and boiling points as well. Salt water boils hotter than 100˚C

Think about it!

Would the boiling point of water be higher or lower in Brooks than in Vancouver?

Temperature Scales – Kelvin

Absolute Zero is the coldest possible temperature; -273.15˚C

Lord Kelvin developed the a scientific scale based on Absolute Zero 0˚C = 273.15K

What is the hottest temperature ever?

Think about it!

How could you measure the temperature of: Your body? An ice burg? Your house? The sun?

Can you use the same device for everything? Why or why not?

Measuring Temperature

Different devices need to be used to measure different substances

Thermometers must have: A sensor – a material affected by

changes in some feature of the environment (temperature)

A signal – provides information about the temperature (an electric current)

A responder – something that communicates the information sent by the signal from the responder

Measuring Temperature Thermocouples

Two wires are twisted together The tips sense the temperature and

a current is created The current increases with the

temperature

Measuring TemperatureThermocouple

Measuring TemperatureBimetallic Strip

A bimetallic strip is made of two metals joined together

As it is heated one metal expands faster than the other, curling the strip

Sometimes the movement of the strip controls a switch, like in a thermostat. Thermo – related to heat stat – stabilize, make constant

Measuring TemperatureBimetallic Strip

Measuring TemperatureRecording Thermometer

When a bimetallic strip is attached to an arm, with a marker and a graph paper drum, it can record temperature

It is similar to a seismograph

Measuring TemperatureInfrared Thermogram

Anything warmer than Absolute Zero gives off infrared radiation

IR (infrared radiation) can be photographed and shown on special film or displayed on a screen

The colour displayed demonstrates the temperature of the object

Measuring TemperatureInfrared Thermogram

An Infrared Thermogram is the tool used to measure the temperature

Think About it!

How would you measure the temperature for each of the following: Your body? An ice burg? Your house? The sun?

How hot can a Christmas tree get?

The Particle Model, Temperature & Thermal EnergyTopic 3

The Particle Model

This describes the tiny parts that make up matter: All things are made up of tiny particles,

too small to be seen These particles are always in motion These particles have space between

them

States of Matter

There are three main states of matter: Solid Liquid Gas

There is a forth state of matter that is less common: Plasma

States of Matter

States of Matter

States of Matter: Solids

Solids substances hold their shape

The particles are very close together

The particles vibrate in place

Solids

States of Matter: Liquid

Liquids are fluids that take the shape of their container

The particles are spread apart

They move past each other

Liquids

States of Matter: Gas

Gases are fluids that fill their container

The particles have a lot of space between them

The particles move very fast

Gases

States of Matter: Plasma

Plasma is a state where the energy in the particles is so high that they break into the parts that make them up.

They are moving so fast they give off light

States of matter

States of Matter

Don’t Make Your Own Plasma, EVER!

Energy

Energy is not a substance It cannot be seen, weighed or take

up space Energy is a condition or quality that

a substance has Energy is a property or quality of an

object or substance that gives it the ability to move, do work or cause change.

Energy

Energy is the measure of a substances ability to do work or cause change Changes happen when

there is a difference of energy

Energy is always transferred in the same direction: from high-energy (hot) to low-energy (cold)

Think About it!

Is the energy transferred from the ice to the drink, or the drink to the ice?

Energy

There are seven different forms of energy

The Law of Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Energy can only be transformed from one type to another, or passed from one object, or substance, to another

Thermal Energy & Temperature Change

Temperature is the average energy of the particles

When heat is transferred the temperature is affected by increasing or decreasing

The temperature depends on the number of particles affected What does that mean?

Expansion & ContractionTopic 4

Expansion & Contraction

As the average energy (temperature) of particles changes, the spaces between the particles change

Particles expand - increase volume - as they are heated

Particles contract - decrease volume - as they are cooled

Expansion &Contraction

Pure substances are matter made of only one type of particle, either solid, liquid or gas

Solids Liquids Gases

Shape & Size

Keep their shape and

size

Take the shape of

their container

No definite shape or size

Compressibility

(volume)

Cannot be compressed

(fixed volume)

Almost incompressib

le(fixed

volume)

Can be compressed

(volume changes)

Expansion & Contraction Solids

Solids can become longer and shorter depending on temperature

The particles stay in place but vibrate faster, spreading them apart.

Think About it! What do you expect to happen?

Expansion & ContractionSolids

Expansion & Contraction Liquids

As liquids are heated the particles expand and as they cool, contract

Liquid in a thermometerdemonstrates this effectively

Expansion & ContractionGases

Particles that are heated increase space greatly Particles can also contract significantly when

they are cooled The space between particles in gases are the

most affected by changes in temperature Expansion and Contraction

Spangler Effect

How can you use expansion or contraction to get a hard boiled egg into a bottle, or to crush an empty pop can?

Egg in a Bottle Can Crusher

The Particle Model &Changes of StateTopic 5

Heat Capacity

Capacity the ability to receive or contain: This

hotel has a large capacity. the maximum amount or number that

can be received or contained; cubic contents; volume: The inn is filled to capacity. The gasoline tank has a capacity of 20 gallons.

Heat Capacity

The amount of thermal energy (heat) that warms or cools an object by 1˚C

It describes a particular object

It depends on the mass of an object and the material it is made of

Heat Capacity

Specific Heat Capacity

The amount of thermal energy (heat) that warms or cools 1g of a material by 1˚C

It describes a specific material

It depends only on the material the object is made of

Specific Heat Capacity

Think About it!

Do you think it is possible to boil water in a plastic bag?

Survival 101

Changes of State

As particles speed up and slow down, they will change state after a certain point

Solid Liquid Gas Ice Water Steam

Changes of State

freezing

Changes of State

Different substances require different temperatures or amounts of pressure to change state

Changes of state are reversible under the right conditions Baking a liquid batter into a solid cake is

not a change of state, it cannot be reversed

HOMEWORK!

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

Melting & Boiling

When energy is added to a substance the particles speed up

Melting is a solid to a liquid Ice to water

Boiling or Evaporation is a liquid to a gas Water to steam The Leidenfrost Effect

Melting & Boiling

All pure substances have melting and boiling points (p.221) Many substances have combustion

points that prevent melting – like wood Most substances are gases or solids

at regular atmospheric temperatures Many substances are not stable in liquid

state

Melting & Boiling Points

Condensation & Freezing

When energy is removed from a substance the particles slow down

Condensation is a gas to a liquid Drops of water forming on the outside of

a cold glassFreezing is a liquid to a solid

Water to ice

Sublimation & Deposition

When a substance is unstable as a liquid it may change state from solid to gas and gas to solid

A solid to gas is Sublimation Dry Ice to gas

A gas to a solid is Deposition Water vapor to frost on a window

Liquids

Particles in liquids move very quickly

As high energy particles escape the liquid, the average energy decreases, cooling the liquid

Liquids

Evaporation cools the surface the liquid is on

This process is called evaporative cooling

Evaporative cooling is useful for: Joggers cooling as sweat evaporates Water cooling a roof on a hot day A wet cloth on a forehead for a fever KangaroosBUT: Hypothermia can happen because of it!

Changes of State

Super-cooled Beer

Transferring EnergyTopic 6

Energy Transfer

Energy can be transferred 3 ways: Radiation Conduction Convection

BY SONG!

Radiation

This is the transfer of energy without the movement of particles

This is also called Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)

Radiant energy travels in waves

It can pass throughspace, air, glass and many other materials

Radiation – EMR Spectrum

Radiation

All radiant waves travel very fast across empty space – at 300million m/s

Radiant energy travels in a straight line

Most radiation that we are exposed to is natural.

Radiation (the radioactivity) can be detected, measured and controlled

Radiation

Light waves and radiation waves will travel until they hit something that will: Absorb▪ Let the radiation get part way into an object,

often as heat Transmit ▪ Allow the radiation to pass through, without

absorption Reflect▪ Cause the radiation to bounce off

Radiation - Absorbtion

Dark coloured surfaces: absorb radiant energy

when they are cool give off radiant energy

when they are hot Light coloured or shiny

surfaces do not effectively absorb or give off radiant energy

Can you think of animals adapted with this in mind?

Radiation - Absorbtion

•Radiant emission (giving off) of energy depends on surface area▫Animal adaptations show this:

Desert animals have large ears to release heat

Killer whales have simple bodies and small limbs to keep heat in

Polar bear has black skin to absorb radiant energy with transparent hair that transmits ultraviolet radiation to the skin

Conduction

Conduction is the transfer of energy through solids

Direct collisions between particles pass energy through the objects

The space between particles in a solid determines how fast energy is conducted

Conduction

Metal particles are often very close together, they conduct well

Wood, plastic and glass particles are further apart and are poor conductors – called insulators

A metal wire will conduct, but is wrapped in plastic to insulate it

Convection

The transfer of energy in fluids It follows a circular pattern called a

convection current As fluid particle heat up, speed up,

and spread apart, they become lighter and rise

Once further from the heat, the particles cool and fall

Convection

Convection in the atmosphere causes thermals which birds and gliders use to soar, they also cause turbulence on planes

Convection ovens cook more evenly by circulating heat

Convection Currents

Convection Currents

REMEMBER:

Energy can be transferred 3 ways: Radiation Conduction Convection BY SONG!

Heat energy always flows from the warmer to cooler object or substance

Think About it!Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Energy can only be transformed from one type to another, or passed from one object, or substance, to another

Turn to p.232: follow the transfer of energy

Energy Transfer

Energy in her fist transferred to the ball The ball transferred energy to the floor. Conduction occurred, when the energy in her fist

was conducted by the particles in her fist to the particles in the ball.

The particles in the ball conducted the energy to the particles in the floor.

The particles in the air were also warmed by the flight of the ball and the particles transferred this energy by convection currents which were created in the air.CREATE AN ENERGY FLOW SYSTEM

Energy Systems

All Energy Systems have 5 features:1. Energy Source

Energy can be mechanical, chemical, radiant, nuclear or electrical

2. Direction of Energy Transfer Energy moves from high to low concentration

3. Transformations Energy changes form as it is transferred

4. Waste Heat Most energy is transferred, but some is always lost

to surroundings5. Control Systems

A device to start and stop the transfer of energy

Sources of Thermal EnergyTopic 7

Sources of Thermal Energy

Energy is often converted before we can use it

Many sources come with environmental concerns

Sources of Thermal Energy

Mechanical Chemical – burning fuel Electrical – generators Nuclear Wind Geothermal Solar

Fossil Fuels

Mechanical Energy

Generation of Electric Energy

1. Fuel is burned to produce heat2. Heat is transferred to water to produce steam3. Steam is channeled4. Steam used to turn turbine which in turn cranks

the generator

Generation of Electric Energy

Chemical Energy

Chemical energy can be transformed into thermal energy when wood or coal is burned

Impact: Pollution is caused by the release of greenhouse gases when fossil fuels are burned

Coal

Sheerness Thermal Generating Station – Hanna

Hydro-Electric Energy

Gravity is used to pull water over dams to turn turbines, attached to generators

Mechanical energy of the generators creates electricity

Hydro-Electric Energy

Impact: Habitats are affected, heated waste water is produced and ecosystems are reshaped

Nuclear Energy

Pickering Nuclear Power Plant

Wind Energy

Wind turbines spin from the force of the wind, powering a generator

Wind Energy

Impact: the spinning turbines create areas of low pressure, when bats enter the pocket, the low pressure causes their lungs to explode

Wind Energy

Geothermal Energy

Geo – to do with the earth Thermal – related to heat

Volcanoes, hot springs and geysers are sources of geothermal energy

This heat creates steam which is harnessed in power plants on the surface

Geothermal vs. other sources

Geothermal Energy

HDR (Hot, dry rock) is another technique – water is pumped down, heated and resurfaces as steam, which is used to generate power

Geothermal Energy

This is a clean and environmentally friendly technique

It could reduce the threat of oils spills, pollution from fossil fuels and their wastes

The initial cost of installing geothermal is still quite high.

Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Solar energy is clean and unlimited

There are two ways to use solar power:

1. Passive Solar Heating – uses the materials in the structure to absorb, store and release solar energy

2. Active Solar Heating – uses mechanical devices to collect and distribute the thermal energy

Solar Energy – Passive

Solar Energy – Active

Solar Energy

Fossil Fuels

Fossil Fuels

Big Problems: Non-renewable Greenhouse

gases contributing to global warming

Fossil Fuels – Cogeneration

This uses about 2/3 fossil fuel, and released thermal energy is put to use as well

Other Energy Sources

Organisms burn food to generate body heat

Composts are a source of thermal energy – Decomposers break down food and release thermal energy, speeding up decomposition (waste management)

Conserving Our Fossil Fuel ResourcesTopic 8

Introduction

We still use many fossil fuels: Coal is burned Oil and gas are used

How can we reduce our use? Technology gives us ways to use energy

more responsibly.

Programmable Thermostats

Hot Water on Demandp.252

Thermal Energy Movers

Thermal energy movers transfer thermal energy from one location to another at a different temperature• Fridges and air conditioners

The operation of these devices requires refrigerants to remove thermal energy from food.

Thermal Energy Movers

As the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs the thermal energy from the food so it cools down.

This warmed gas is then compressed and releases the thermal energy into the room.

Deconstructed: Fridge

Thermal Energy Risks

Some harmful effects of thermal energy are: burning ourselves on a hot utensil (us) forest fires (our environment) burning houses (our belongings) What are some other negative effects of

thermal energy use?

Thermal Energy By-products Not all the dangers of using thermal energy

are as obvious as the ones already discussed. Sulfur-dioxide is

released when coal and natural gas are burned.

This gas is an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat.

It contributes to the production of Acid Rain

Thermal Energy By-products

Carbon monoxide is produced when a fire burns without enough oxygen.

It is colorless and odorless. Hinders brain reasoning and is lethal

Smoke detectors and CO detectors should be installed in every buildingto protect the people from being overcome by these lethal gases.

Thermal Energy By-products

Carbon dioxide that is released from the burning of fossil fuels is a greenhouse gas, which traps heat energy in our atmosphere and leads to global warming
