Thermal Energy, Temperature, and Heat
• Potential energy is stored energy due to the interaction between two objects.
• The potential energy plus the kinetic energy of an object is the mechanical energy of the object.
Kinetic and Potential Energy
• Every solid, liquid, and gas is made up of trillions of tiny particles that are constantly moving.
• Because particles are in motion, they have kinetic energy.
• The faster particles move, the more kinetic energy they have.
What is thermal energy?
• The greater the average distance between particles, the greater the potential energy of the particles.
• Thermal energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the particles that make up a material.
What is thermal energy? (cont.)
The potential energy of the soccer ball depends on the distance between the ball and Earth. The potential energy of the particles of matter depends on their distance from one another.
• Mechanical energy describes the energy of one object.
• Thermal energy describes the energy of the particles that make up a solid, liquid, or gas.
What is thermal energy? (cont.)

How is thermal energy transferred?
• The transfer of thermal energy from one material to another by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
• Radiation is the only way thermal energy can travel from the Sun to Earth, because space is a vacuum.
• Radiation also transfers thermal energy through solids, liquids, and gases.
Radiation
Radiation (cont.)
vacuum
Science Use a space that contains little or no matter
Common Use a device for cleaning carpets and rugs that uses suction
• When particles with different kinetic energies collide, the particles with higher kinetic energy transfer energy to particles with lower kinetic energy.
• The transfer of thermal energy between materials by the collisions of particles is called conduction.
• Conduction continues until the thermal energy of all particles in contact is equal.
Conduction
• The hot air transfers thermal energy to, or heats, the cool lemonade by conduction.
• Eventually the kinetic thermal energy and temperature of the air and the lemonade will be equal.
Conduction (cont.)
• A thermal conductor is a material through which thermal energy flows easily.
• A thermal insulator is a material through which thermal energy does not flow easily.
Conduction (cont.)
• The amount of thermal energy required to increase the temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1°C is called specific heat.
• Water’s high specific heat helps prevent your body from overheating.
• Changing the temperature of a material with a low specific heat is easier than to change the temperature of a material with a high specific heat.
Conduction (cont.)
In a hot car, the temperature of thermal conductors, such as the safety-belt buckles, increases more quickly than the temperature of thermal insulators, such as the seat material.
Conduction (cont.)
What does it mean if a material has a low specific heat?
• Thermal contraction is a decrease in a material’s volume when its temperature decreases.
• Thermal expansion is an increase in a material’s volume when its temperature increases.
• Thermal expansion and contraction are most noticeable in gases, less noticeable in liquids, and the least noticeable in solids.
Thermal Expansion and Contraction
Thermal Expansion and Contraction (cont.)
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is heated?
• Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another.
• Convection only occurs in fluids.
Convection
convection
from Greek convectionem, means “the act of carrying”
This cycle of cooler water sinking and forcing warmer water upward is an example of convection.
Convection (cont.)
What are the three processes that transfer thermal energy?
• The movement of fluids in a cycle because of convection is a convection current.

Using Thermal Energy
• Thermostats transform thermal energy into mechanical energy that switch heaters on and off.
• Even though many devices transform energy from one form to another or transfer energy from one place to another, the total amount of energy does not change.
Thermal Energy Transformations
• A device that converts electric energy into thermal energy is a heating appliance.
• Curling irons, coffeemakers, and clothes irons are some examples of heating appliances.
Heating Appliances
A thermostat is a device that regulates the temperature of a system.
Thermostats
thermostat
from Greek therme, meaning “heat”; and statos, meaning “a standing”
• Most thermostats contain a bimetallic coil made of two types of metal joined together and bent into a coil.
• The metal on the inside of the coil expands and contracts more than the metal on the outside of the coil.
• When a room warms or cools, the thermal energy causes the bimetallic coil to uncurl slightly or tighten, which turns the furnace off or on.
Thermostats (cont.)
Thermostats (cont.)
How does the bimetallic coil in a thermostat respond to heating and cooling?
• A device that uses electric energy to transfer thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location is called a refrigerator.
• In a refrigerator, a coolant is pumped through pipes on the inside and the outside of the refrigerator.
Refrigerators
Coolant in a refrigerator moves thermal energy from inside to outside the refrigerator.
The coolant, which begins as a liquid, passes through an expansion valve and cools.
As the cold gas flows through pipes inside the refrigerator, it absorbs thermal energy from the refrigerator compartment and vaporizes.
• A heat engine is a machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
• When a heat engine converts thermal energy into mechanical energy, the mechanical energy moves the vehicle.
• Most cars, buses, boats, trucks, and lawn mowers use a type of heat engine called an internal combustion engine.
