Extractions: Laws of thermodynamics Zeroth law of thermodynamics First law of thermodynamics ... Edit Conservation of energy , also known as the first law of thermodynamics , is possibly the most important, and certainly the most practically useful of several conservation laws in physics The law states that the total inflow of energy into a system must equal the total outflow of energy from the system, plus the change in the energy contained within the system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The law of conservation of energy excludes the possibility of perpetuum mobile of the first kind. edit To understand the significance of the conservation of energy in the context of the development of thermodynamics, see Thermodynamics timeline Edit Although ancient philosophers as far back as Thales of Miletus had inklings of the first law, it was the

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

Extractions: Energy is a fundamental quantity that every physical system possesses. Energy is difficult to define in terms of other concepts, and is most generally regarded as an abstract quantity, a number, which is conserved in closed systems, associated with the capacity to change the state of a physical system, or capacity to do work . Often it is simply defined as the capacity to perform work or generate heat . (Heat generation is work being done on a molecular scale.) Energy is regarded as one of the most fundamental concepts in all of the physical sciences, and is one of the most important concepts to grasp for those interested in understanding the universe and physical law. Energy is associated with acceleration . For example, it takes W mv Â² amount of work to accelerate a bullet from zero speed to speed v mv Â² is called a kinetic energy of a bullet. Other examples are the electrical energy stored in a battery, the chemical energy stored in a piece of food, the thermal energy of a water heater, or the potential energy of elevated water behind dam. Energy can be readily transformed from one form into another; for instance, using a battery to power an electrical heater converts chemical energy into electrical energy, which is then converted into thermal energy. Or letting elevated water move down transforms stored potential energy into kinetic energy of moving water and turbine, which in turn transforms into electric energy by generator. The law of

Heat does not flow from a lower to a higher temperature unless another form of energy transfer, work , is also present.

How Does A Light-mill Work?

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/LightMill/light-mill.html

Extractions: Original by Philip Gibbs July 1996. In 1873, while investigating infrared radiation and the element thallium, the eminent Victorian experimenter Sir William Crookes developed a special kind of radiometer, an instrument for measuring radiant energy of heat and light. Crookes's Radiometer is today marketed as a conversation piece called a light-mill or solar engine. It consists of four vanes each of which is blackened on one side and silvered on the other. These are attached to the arms of a rotor which is balanced on a vertical support in such a way that it can turn with very little friction. The mechanism is encased inside a clear glass bulb which has been pumped out to a high, but not perfect, vacuum. When sunlight falls on the light-mill the vanes turn with the black surfaces apparently being pushed away by the light. Crookes at first believed this demonstrated that light radiation pressure on the black vanes was turning it round just like water in a water mill. His paper reporting the device was refereed by James Clerk Maxwell who accepted the explanation Crookes gave. It seems that Maxwell was delighted to see a demonstration of the effect of radiation pressure as predicted by his theory of electromagnetism. But there is a problem with this explanation. Light falling on the black side should be absorbed, while light falling on the silver side of the vanes should be reflected. The net result is that there is twice as much radiation pressure on the metal side as on the black. In that case the mill is turning the wrong way.
Heat And Temperature
heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. heat comes in andthere is an increase in the potential energy of the molecules.

Extractions: Heat and Temperature Energy Mechanics Physics Contents ... Home Knowing the difference between heat and temperature is important if one is to have a clear understanding of energy. In this section we will define both terms and reach an understanding of how they are related ideas, but not identical ideas. What follows are some beginnings, and then some links to further explanations and animations. A Wrong Idea Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same, but they are not. Perhaps the reason the two are usually and incorrectly thought to be the same is because as human beings on Earth everyday experience leads us to notice that when you heat something up, say like putting a pot of water on the stove, then the temperature of that something goes up. More heat, more temperature - they must be the same, right? Turns out, though, this is not true. Initial Definitions Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules.

Extractions: Changes of Phase (or State) Heat and Temperature Energy Mechanics Contents ... Home The term 'change of phase' means the same thing as the term 'change of state'. There are four states, or phases, of matter. They are: We will not be discussing the plasma state here. When a substance changes from one state, or phase, of matter to another we say that it has undergone a change of state, or we say that it has undergone a change of phase. These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However, although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not. We will list five changes of phase. They are diagrammed in the above animation and listed below.

Extractions: Fired up Was there energy before 1800? The question surely makes scientists roll their eyes. Energy, after all, was not discovered or invented. It has powered the Sun for billions of years, made organisms grow for millions and driven industrial machines for hundreds. To claim that energy has not always existed must be the product of science illiteracy or vapid posturing by the "other" side in the science wars. The history of the word "energy" is well charted and uncontroversial. It comes from the Greek energeia , or activity, with the first technical definition of the word being provided by Aristotle. His definition was, however, different from the one that we use today. Every existing thing, he said, has an energeia that maintains it in being and is related to its end or function, or

Extractions: News for February 2001 15 February 2001 When a system gains energy, its temperature rises - or so we are taught. But about a decade ago it was predicted that, on very small scales, some materials could get colder when they receive energy. Hellmut Haberland and co-workers from the University of Freiburg in Germany have now observed this negative heat capacity for the first time in clusters of sodium atoms (M Schmidt et al Phys. Rev. Lett. Haberland's team used a laser technique known as photofragmentation to measure the internal energy of the clusters at different temperatures. Photons deliver energy to the clusters - each containing 147 sodium atoms - prompting atoms to evaporate. The researchers determined how much energy the clusters absorbed from the number of atoms ejected. This yields the energy-temperature profile of the clusters from which the researchers calculated their heat capacity. They found that, around the melting point of the clusters, the temperature fell as the energy increased - in other words, the heat capacity was negative. This phenomenon is expected to exist in many small clusters of atoms. Haberland's team chose sodium atoms because their electronic structure is simple and well understood. We are familiar with how large quantities of solids melt. When we warm an ice cube, for example, the kinetic energy or heat is converted continuously into the potential energy needed to break down the crystalline structure. This is the latent heat that increases the entropy of the system without raising the temperature. The amount of solid in the ice cube decreases evenly as it melts. In bulk quantities of ice, only a minuscule fraction - around 10

Explanations Energy, Power, and Heat As a charge carrier moves around a circuit and drops an amount of potential, V , in time t , it loses an amount of potential energy, qV . The power, or the rate at which it loses energy, is qV/t . Since the current, I , is equal to q/t , the power can be expressed as: The unit of power is the watt W ). As you learned in Chapter 4, one watt is equal to one joule per second. VIR and PIV Triangles Ohmâs Law and the formula for power express fundamental relationships between power, current, and voltage, and between voltage, current, and resistance. On occasion, you may be asked to calculate any one of the three variables in these equations, given the other two. As a result, good mnemonics to remember are the VIR and PIV triangles: If the two variables you know are across from one another, then multiplying them will get you the third. If the two variables you know are above and below one another, then you can get the third variable by dividing the one above by the one below. For instance, if you know the power and the voltage in a given circuit, you can calculate the current by dividing the power by the voltage.

Explanations Heat and Temperature In everyday speech, heat and temperature go hand in hand: the hotter something is, the greater its temperature. However, there is a subtle difference in the way we use the two words in everyday speech, and this subtle difference becomes crucial when studying physics. Temperature is a property of a material, and thus depends on the material, whereas heat is a form of energy existing on its own. The difference between heat and temperature is analogous to the difference between money and wealth. For example, $200 is an amount of money: regardless of who owns it, $200 is $200. With regard to wealth, though, the significance of $200 varies from person to person. If you are ten and carrying $200 in your wallet, your friends might say you are wealthy or ask to borrow some money. However, if you are thirty-five and carrying $200 in your wallet, your friends will probably not take that as a sign of great wealth, though they may still ask to borrow your money.

The discovery that heat can be converted into mechanical energy was one of the most important cases that let to the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. The first law of Thermodynamics allows for the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy in the same amount. However in order to be able to convert heat energy into mechanical energy in a continuous manner it is necessary to restore the working substance in a device called the heat engine. These device converts heat energy into mechanical energy- back to its original state by taking it through a reversible cyclic process. This cyclic process can operate by transferring some amount of the heat energy absorbed. Thus only a part of the heat energy absorbed is found to be convertible into mechanical energy. If some enclosed gas is made to absorb heat isothermally, for example, then it will expand and the work done by the gas can be used as mechanical energy but unless the gas is brought back to its starting condition it cannot continue to convert heat energy into mechanical energy. Now, if it is brought back to its original state by compressing it along the reverse path then obviously the mechanical energy obtained during expansion will have to be spent in converting into heat energy; thus the net amount of mechanical energy obtained will be nil.

In the last century it was recognized that heat is also a form of energy and it can be converted into mechanical energy and vice versa. From Joule's experiments the correlation between the units of 1 Joule and 1 Calorie was found to be 1 Calorie = 4.18 Joule Therefore, the numerical relation between the amount of work or mechanical energy W (Joule) and amount of heat energy Q (Calorie) can be expressed as where J = 4.18 Joule / Calorie. The constant J is called Mechanical Equivalent of heat. It is also known as Joule's constant.

Extractions: Click Here - For pricing on radiant barrier material! Heat Gain and Loss in Buildings There are three modes of heat transfer: Conduction Convection and Radiation (INFRA-RED). Of the three, radiation is the primary mode; conduction and convection are secondary and come into play only as matter interrupts or interferes with radiant heat transfer. As the matter absorbs radiant energy, it is heated, develops a difference in temperature, and results in molecular motion (conduction in solids) or mass motion (convection in liquids and gas). All substances, including air spaces, building materials, such as wood, glass and plaster, and insulation, obey the same laws of nature, and transfer heat. Solid materials differ only in the rate of heat transfer which is mainly affected by differences in: density, weight, shape, permeability and molecular structure, Materials which transfer heat slowly can be said to resist heat flow. R values are a measure of material's resistance to conductive heat flow. Radiant barriers do not resist heat, they reflects heat. When installed properly, it reduces thermal conductance

Extractions: James : You are not doing so badly, understanding these differences... but I must clarify some things : When you are talking about thr mechanisms of heat transfer you cannot say that only one occurs. In most cases convection, conduction and radiation all occur together. For example, in a solar heater - it receives the sun's radiation, radiation that is transferred by conduction to the pipes, and finally convection in the water inside the pipe. So you cannot talk about heat transfer mechanisms separately in many cases. Let me analyze a little more the questions that you sent... a) Ice forms on the inside of a window: You said that there is a conduction here and it is not wrong at all. The main heat transfer mechanism is convection because there is cold air outside the house. The air presents a lower temperature than the temperature inside the house, so the cold air "steals" heat from the window that is more or less the same temperature as that inside the house, and then heat flow by conduction by the glass reduces the temperature inside the glass, taking the temperature to zero celsius and the water in the air condenses and goes to ice. b) You are right, the main heat transfer mechanism is conduction.
