Topics in Heat Transfer

1

Molecules, Heat, and Temperature

  • A molecule is the smallest particle that can exist freely in nature and retains the properties of the substance.
  • A molecule is nearly 10^-10 m in size and cannot be seen even by a microscope.
  • Molecules are always in motion and also attract one another.
2

Evaporation and Boiling

  • Evaporation is the change of liquid into vapour at all temperatures from the surface.
  • Boiling is the change of liquid into vapour at a fixed temperature throughout the mass of liquid.
  • Evaporation is a slow process.
3

Latent Heat and Change of State

  • Latent heat is the heat absorbed or released during change of state without a change in temperature.
  • During latent heat change, average kinetic energy of molecules remains unchanged.
  • Only the average potential energy changes during change of state.
4

Thermal Expansion of Solids

  • Solids expand on heating and contract on cooling.
  • Solids undergo linear, superficial, and cubical expansion.
  • Linear expansion means increase in length.
