Heat

• Thermal energy is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other
• Conduction is the transfer of energy between adjacent molecules
• Convection is the movement of hot fluid
• Radiation is the emission of electromagnetic rays
• C -> K = (C + 273.15)
• K -> C = (K - 273.15)
• C -> F = (1.8 x C) + 32
• F -> C = (F - 32) / 1.8
• K -> F = (K x 1.8) - 459.67
• F -> K = (F + 459.67) / 1.8
• Insulators are materials that do not allow the heat to pass through it.
• The three common scales of temperature

  • Celsius
  • Fahrenheit
  • Kelvin
