1
New cards

Absolute temperature scale

scale, such as Kelvin, with a zero point that is absolute zero

2
New cards

Absolute zero

temperature at which the average kinetic energy of molecules is zero

3
New cards

Calorimeter

container that prevents heat transfer in or out

4
New cards

Calorimetry

study of heat transfer inside a container impervious to hear

5
New cards

Coefficient of linear expansion (alpha)

material property that gives the change in length, per unit

length, per 1 degree celsius change in temperature; a constant used in the calculation of linear expansion; the coefficient of linear expansion depends to some degree on the temperature of the material

6
New cards

Coefficient of volume expansion (beta)

similar to (alpha) but gives the change in volume, per unit volume, per change in temperature

7
New cards

Conduction

heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact

8
New cards

Convection

heat transfer by the macroscopic movement of fluid

9
New cards

Critical point

for a given substance, the combination of temperature and pressure above which the liquid and gas phases are indistinguishable

10
New cards

Critical pressure

pressure at the critical point

11
New cards

Critical temperature

temperature at the critical

point

12
New cards

Emissivity

measure of how well an object radiates

13
New cards

Greenhouse effect

warming of the earth that is due

to gases such as carbon dioxide and methane that absorb infrared radiation from Earth's surface and reradiate it in all directions, thus sending some of it back toward Earth

14
New cards

Heat

energy transferred solely due to a temperature difference

15
New cards

Heat of fusion

Energy per unit mass required to change a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase, or released when the substance changes from a liquid to solid

16
New cards

Heat of sublimation

energy per unit mass required to change a substance from the solid phase to the vapor phase

17
New cards

Heat of vaporisation

energy per unit mass required to change a substance from the liquid phase to the vapor phase

18
New cards

Heat transfer

movement of energy from one place or material to another as a result of a difference in temperature

19
New cards

Latent heat coefficient

general term for the heats of fusion, vaporization, and sublimation

20
New cards

Mechanical equivalent of heat

work needed to produce the same effects as heat transfer

21
New cards

Net rate of heat transfer by radiation

<p></p>
22
New cards

Phase diagram

graph of pressure vs. temperature of a particular substance, showing at which pressures and temperatures the phases of the substance occur

23
New cards

Radiation

energy transferred by electromagnetic waves directly as a result of a temperature difference

24
New cards

Rate of conductive heat transfer

rate of heat transfer from one material to another

25
New cards

Specific heat

amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of 1.00 kg of a substance by

1.00dC; also called "specific heat capacity"

26
New cards

Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation

is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of the object, T is the absolute temperature, and e is the emissivity

<p>is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of the object, T is the absolute temperature, and e is the emissivity</p>
27
New cards

Sublimation

phase change from solid to gas

28
New cards

Temperature

quantity measured by a thermometer, which reflects the mechanical energy of molecules in a system

29
New cards

Thermal conductivity

property of a material

describing its ability to conduct heat

30
New cards

Thermal equilibrium

condition in which heat no longer flows between two objects that are in contact; the two objects have the same temperature

31
New cards

Thermal expansion

change in size or volume of an

object with change in temperature

32
New cards

Thermal stress

Stress caused by thermal expansion of contraction

33
New cards

Triple point

pressure and temperature at which a

substance exists in equilibrium as a solid, liquid,

and gas

34
New cards

Vapor

gas at a temperature below the boiling temperature

35
New cards

Vapor pressure

pressure at which a gas coexists with its solid or liquid phase

36
New cards

Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

law that states that

if two objects are in thermal equilibrium, and a third object is in thermal equilibrium with one of those objects, it is also in thermal equilibrium with the other object
