Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

The study of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy

Energy

The ability to do work or produce heat

First law of thermodynamics

the energy of the universe is constant and cannot be created or destroyed

Temperature

A measurement of the component’s random motion, aka average kinetic energy

Heat

flow of energy due to a temperature difference

Is heat a form of energy?

Yes

Is temperature a form of energy

No, it is a measurement of kinetic energy

In which direction does heat flow?

From hot to cold

Calorie

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one grain of water by 1C.

Specific Heat Capacity

The amount of energy required to change the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1C

Specific Heat Formula

q=mCΔT
