A | B |
Heat energy | moves from warmer regions to cooler regions |
thermal systems | designed to move heat energy from warmer regions to cooler regions |
delta-T | temperature difference |
Insulation | used to reduce heat loss in the winter and to reduce heat gain in the summer |
Think | temperature difference as a force |
heat | a descriptive word that refers to the form of energy found in the vibrating motion of atoms and molecules |
temperature | useful physical quantity |
Why does heat flow from hot to cold? | Because the hot molecules move faster than the cold molecules |
Thermometer | instrument that measures temperature |
Fahrenheit | standard measure of temperature |
Celsius | SI Measurement of temperature |
Thermocouple | a temperature measuring device that depends on changes in the electrical properties of certain materials for its operation |
