This are meant for ppl who nvr attend school and missed some notes copying :D
Science notes (Volume B chapter 25 Transmission of heat)
Pg 2: Heat moves!
- Heat is a form of
energy that is transmitted from a
region of higher to lower temperature.
Pg3: Heat moves!
In 3 ways...
-CONDUCTION
-CONVECTION
-RADIATION
Conduction
- Conduction is
transmission of heat through a material from the
hot region to the cool region without any visible movement
Pg 4:
Conduction
-Solids are BETTER CONDUCTORS of heat than liquids and gases as solid particles are CLOSER together
- Thus, kinetic energy is transferred
MORE QUICKLY in solids..
How Conduction works in solids
- When one end of a rod is heated, particles there GAIN ENERGY and VIBRATE FASTER.
- There particles COLLIDE with less energetic neighbours.
Pg 5:
How conduction works in solids
- Some of their energy is TRANSFERRED TO NEIGHHBOURING PARTICLES which thus gains kinetic energy
- This goes on until the cold end reaches SAME TEMPERATURE as the hot end
Good & Bad Conductors of heat
- Materials conduct heat at DIFFERENT RATES
- GOOD CONDUCTORS of heat allow heat to flow throught RAPIDLY
- Bad conductors or GOOD CONDUCTORS of heat allow CONDUCTORS of heat allow heat to flow through SLOWLY
Pg 6:
Good & bad conductors of heat

Application of conduction
1. Uses of good conductors
- Used where heat has to be QUICKLY TRANSMITTED
E.g. Pans, kettles, cooking utensils
- Usually made of metals like Aluminium, copper, steel
Pg 7.
Application of conduction
2. Uses of poor conductors (Insulators)
- Uses where UNWANTED HEAT HAS TO NE KEPT AWAY or to PREVENT HEAT LOSS
E.g. vacum flask, handles of saucepan
- Made of CLOTH, PLASTICS, WOOD etc.
Application of conduction
(a) Double - glazed window
- TRAPPED AIR between 2 layers of glass is good insulator, REDUCES CONDUCTION of heat
Pg 8
TABLE SHALL SKIP FIRST...
Convection
Convection is the TRANSMISSION OF HEAT through a FLUID (LIQUID OR GAS) from the HOT TO THE COLD region by the CIRCULATING MOVEMENT of the fluid
Pg 9
Convection
- Occurs in FLUIDS (liquid and gases), but not in solids
- When one part of fluid is HEATER, it EXPANDS, becomes LESS DENSE and RISES.
- The surrounding COOLER AND DENSER FLUID SINKS
- Thia produces a circulating movement called CONVECTION CURRENT
Pg 10
Convection in liquids
- Add POTASSIUM PERMAGANATE (purple) crystals into a flask of water.
- HEAT flask gently just below the crystals
- Purple-sreaked water RISES UPWARDS and fan outwards.
- Water becomes EVENLY PURPLE IN COLOUR after a while
Pg 11.
Convection in gases
- Fit two glass chimneys to the top of a wooden box with a plane glass window.
- LIGHT A CANDLE below one chimney
- Heat from this initiates a CONVECTION CURRENT
- HOT AIR FLOWS OUT of this chimney
- COLD AIR FLOWS IN throught other chimney
Pg 12.
Application of convection
1. Sea breeze (Daytime)
- In the day, LAND HEATS UP FASTER than the sea
- Air above land EXPANDS AND RISES
- COOL AIR above sea MOVES IN towards the land
- Thia result in SEA BREEZE.
Pg 13.
Application of convection
2. Land breeze (Night time)
- At night, THE LAND COOLS FASTER than the sea.
- WARM AIR above sea RISES
- COOL AIR above land MOVES OUT towards the sea.
- Result in LAND BREEZE
