| heat | This flows spontaneously from hot objects to cold objects |
| heat engine | any device that converts heat into work |
| refrigerant | a heat pump does work on this so you can keep your vegies cold |
| temperature | the Kelvin scale is used to measure this |
| calorimeter | a device used to determine the specific heat of a material |
| convection | the transfer of thermal energy when particles of a fluid move from place to place |
| specific heat | the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius |
| conduction | the transfer of thermal energy with NO overall transfer of matter |
| thermal energy | the total potential and kinectic energy of all the particles in an object |
| radiation | the transfer of energy by waves moving through space |
| energy | according to the first law of thermodynamics, this is conserved. |
| thermal insulator | a material that conducts thermal energy poorly |
