CH17 Temperature and Heat
 

Thermal expansion—linear

For an isotropic (各向同性) solid:
 
 
Thermal stress in a clamped rod
                                              
 
Quantity of heat
Heat is the energy transferred between systems of different temperatures.
Calorie: the amount of heat to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water from 14.5°C to 15.5°C.
                                              1 cal =4.186J
     specific heat: c     
     Molar heat capacity:      
          
 
Phase changes and calorimetry
Calorimetry: measuring heat
Phase (state of matter): solid, liquid, gas, plasma (等离子体), and Bose-Einstein condensation.
Heat of fusion : the heat required to melt 1 kg of solid.
Heat of vaporization : the heat required to vaporize 1 kg of liquid.
Heat of sublimation : the heat required to sublime 1 kg of solid directly into gaseous phase.
Heat of combustion : heat generated to completely combust 1 g of mass.
 
Mechanism of heat transfer
Conduction: atomic vibration
Heat current: rate of heat flow
Thermal conductivity (热导率): k
Thermal resistance: R=L/k
 
Convection and radiation
Convection: heat transported by mass motion from one region of space to another.
Radiation: heat transferred by electromagnetic waves (电磁波)
Stefan-Boltzmann law:
Stefan-Boltzmann constant:
Emissivity: e, depends on the nature of the surface.
The rate of absorption is also governed by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The net rate of radiation from a body at T with surroundings at is,
For an ideal radiator, e=1. It is also an ideal absorber (black body 黑体).
