Heat is commonly expressed in either of two units: the calorie , an older metric unit, and the British thermal unit (Btu), an English unit commonly used in the United States. Scientists express heat in terms of the joule , a unit used for all forms of energy. Specific Heat As heat is added to a substance in the solid state, the molecules of the substance gain kinetic energy and the temperature of the substance rises. The amount of heat needed to raise a unit of mass of the substance one degree of temperature is called the specific heat of the substance. Because of the way in which the calorie and the Btu are defined, the specific heat of any substance is the same in either system of measurement. For example, the specific heat ofr gram per degree Celsius; i.e., 1 calorie of heat is needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius; it is also 1 Btu per pound per degree Fahrenheit.

Physics Saves Money Energy Efficiency Advances in physics make our homes warmer and offices brighter, while saving billions of dollars. New thin-film coatings onwindows reflect heat back into houses instead of losing it to the outdoors, while plasma physics techniques enable the development of new energy-efficient light sources. In 1995, energy bills in the U.S. totaled $500 billion, or $2000 for every American. Energy-efficient technologies earn more than $2 billion in sales annually, resulting in a total savings of more than $5 billion in energy bills.

The Physics of.... BARBEQUE!!! I really like barbequed food, specifically ribs, steak, hamburgers, and chickenusually in that order. I also like physics. Just the mention of Newton or Coulumb can make me giddy. Now most people don't have a clue as to how intimitely intertwined these two loves are. Barbequing and everything associated with it is, at the basics, merely an application of physics. The BBQing Device Electric Starters Cooking of the Meat Efficiency of a BBQ The BBQ ing device I know when I think of BBQ, physical barbequeing device is the second thought to cross my mind. The first is yum. But back to the actual BBQ. There are 3 main kinds: the open grill (the kind that you'd find in a park), the Webber (the ones that look like small alien spaceships landing in you back yard), and the propane gas BBQ. Open Grill: The only problem to be solved by physics on these BBQs is that of thermal expansion and melting points. Charcoal briquettes can get quite hot, which is actually the point of using them because you generally want your meat cooked. But you also don't want your meat to fall into the briquettes. To solve this, BBQs, this goes for all BBQs, not just the open grill, are made out of a metal with a very high Young's and Bulk Moduli. Young's and Bulk moduli areproperties of any given matieral. Young's Modulus refers to how much the material expands linearly when heated or cooled, and Bulk Modulus refers to how much the volume expands when heated or cooled. They are applied in the equation:

Hands-On-Physics Physics Concepts - Introduction - Introductory Ideas Heat Temperature Flow Mathematical Representation ... Physics Glossary Heat You can usually warm something by adding energy. The added energy can be from light, electricity, friction, a chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, or any other kind of energy. When first added to a substance, energy might be concentrated in one atom, but this one will soon bump into others and spread the energy. Eventually, every atom or molecule in the substance will move a bit faster. When the added energy is spread throughout a substance, it is then called heat energy, thermal energy, or, simply heat. All three terms mean the same thing. Heat is a form of energy, so it has the units of energy. In the SI system, this is Joules . Many other units to measure thermal energy are in common use. Calories and BTU's are common heat units. Temperature You cannot measure heat directly, but you can detect its effect on a substance. Changes in heat can usually be detected as changes in temperature. Usually, when you add energy to a bunch of atoms they move faster and get hotter. Similarly, if you remove energy from a bunch of atoms, they usually move less and get cooler. Figure P1 a Cold Figure P1 b Warm Figure P1 c Hot Because adding heat energy usually results in a temperature rise, people often confuse heat and temperature. In common speech, the two terms mean the same: "I will heat it" means you will add heat; "I will warm it up" means you will increase the temperature. No one usually bothers to distinguish between these.

Refractories in a blast furnace. What are refractories? refractory materials . These can withstand extremely high temperatures without cracking or taking part in any chemical reaction. Examples of refractory materials include: alumina (Al O ), silica (SiO ), fireclay (hydrated alumina silicates) and carbon. The inside of a blast furnace is lined with bricks made from different mixtures of these substances. The choice of material for a particular part of a furnace depends on: the chemical conditions (acidic or basic) the temperature ranges the likelihood of sudden shocks or large forces whether it needs to be an insulator or a conductor You can find out more about the electric arc furnace in the Chemistry of steelmaking e-source.

Negative Energy, Wormholes and Warp Drive by Lawrence H. Ford and Thomas A. Roman Scientific American, January 2000 The construction of worm holes and warp drive would require a very unusual form of energy. Unfortunately, the same laws of physics that allow the existence of this "negative energy" also appear to limit its behavior If a wormhole could exist, it would appear as a spherical opening to an otherwise distant part of the cosmos. In this doctored photograph of Times Square, the wormhole allows New Yorkers to walk to the Sahara with a single step, rather than spending hours on the plane to Tamanrasset. although such a wormhole does not break any known laws of physics, it would require the production of unrealistic amounts of negative energy.

But in a so-called squeezed state, the energy density at a particular instant in time can become negative at some locations (bottom). To

In a qualitative manner, we can describe the temperature of an object as that which determines the sensation of warmth or coldness felt from contact with it. It is easy to demonstrate that when two objectsof the same material are placed together (physicists say when they are put in thermal contact), the object with the higher temperature cools while the cooler object becomes warmer until a point is reached after which no more change occurs, and to our senses, they feel the same. When the thermal changes have stopped, we say that the two objects (physicists define them more rigorously as systems) are in thermal equilibrium . We can then define the temperature of the system by saying that the temperature is that quantity which is the same for both systems when they are in thermal equilibrium. If we experiment further with more than two systems, we find that many systems can be brought into thermal equilibrium with each other; thermal equilibrium does not depend on the kind of object used.

PHYSICS 620G HEAT AND THE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY Lesson Plan Projects Activities SOLs Covered Teacher Investigations The basic concepts of heat and energy will be investigated including conduction and convection, changes of state, and potential and kinetic energy. Teacher activities will deal with such things as convection, heat absorption, evaporation, melting and boiling points, and energy transfer. Videos and demonstrations will be utilized to better understand the concepts of heat and energy. Assignments: Each student will be expected to purchase a reading booklet at the time of registration or at the first class. This booklet contains material that should be read before the beginning of the second class. Between the two classes, each student is required to research and build a project having to do with heat and the conservation of energy. The primary consideration is your understanding of the project, your ingenuity in producing it, and your description of how other teachers could also use it. A short typed description (perhaps only 2-3 pages) must be handed in giving resource material, instructions for building and using the item. A short discussion of how this project might be useful in the classroom would be appropriate. Also during the second class you will give a short (5-8 minutes) presentation to the class. A list of possible projects is given in this booklet, but each student is expected to do further research to improve on the ideas presented here. Do not just copy what is given here. Try to improve it. The handout is only a beginning. You are expected to do additional study and improve on the handout.

Unknown to most current physicists and students of science (if not the general media and public), the beginnings of modern physics launched over 100 years ago by the so-called "giants" Helmholtz, Lord Kelvin, Faraday, Maxwell and many others laid a full and rich tradition in this currently little-known field: the open, heatedly debated scientific and philosophical premise that three-dimensional reality is only a subset of a series of higher, hyperspatial, additional dimensions, which control not only the physics of our very existence, from stars to galaxies to life itself ... but potentially, through time-variable changes in its foundations

Java Simulations for Statistical and Thermal Physics The following applets/applications were written for the Statistical and Thermal Physics curriculum development project and are released under the GNU General Public License . The source code and jar file for each simulation is available separately; the source code for all the applets/applications also may be downloaded . The applets use the Open Source Physics library which is included with the source code. The applets/applications require Java 1.2+ to be installed on your computer. Windows users will have to install Java. The availability of Java on Linux depends on the distribution. But in any case, it is easy to install Java on Windows or Linux at no cost by going to Sun's Web site . Mac OSX comes with Java already installed. However, because of some bugs in Apple's implementation of Java 1.4, some of the applets will not display certain images correctly. The applets will not run on Mac OS9. The simulations can be run as applet in a browser or the corresponding jar file can be downloaded and run as an application. The disadvantage of running some of the simulations as applets is that you will not be able to save your results to a file (because o security considerations). Particles in a Box .
