Student Exploration: Heat Transfer by Conduction

Vocabulary: conduction, convection, insulate, radiation, thermal conductor, thermal energy, thermal insulator

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
Suppose two frying pans have been left on the stove with the burners on. One of the frying pans has a metal handle and the other has a wooden handle.

1. Which handle do you think you could safely touch? ________________________________

2. Why do you think one handle will be cooler than the other? __________________________

_________________________________________________________________________

Gizmo Warm-up
Heat, also called thermal energy, can be transmitted through space (radiation), by moving fluids (convection), or through direct contact. This final method, called conduction, is explored in the Heat Transfer by Conduction Gizmo™.

To begin, check that Aluminum is selected. Select the BAR CHART tab and turn on Show numerical values.

1. What is the initial temperature of each beaker? Beaker A 95 Beaker B 5

2. Click Play ([pic]) and observe.

A. What happens to the temperature of Beaker A over time? Beaker a goes down over time. B. What happens to the temperature of Beaker B over time? Beaker b goes up.

3. Why do you think the temperatures of Beaker A and Beaker B changed as they did? Because of conduction.

    It was also assumed that both Sol.A and Sol.B beakers were exactly at the same temperature when the reaction occurred. Even though the temperatures of both beakers were recorded, it was highly likely that the temperature increased or decreased between the time when they were taken out of the water baths and the time they were mixed together. Though this would not be a primary source if error, nonetheless, it can account for a very small part of the experimental…

    As I can see through the graphs above the temperature decreases very slowly from the initial 70 degree starting temperature. What happens is that test tube one and two slowly start to disconnect form each other, seeing as test tube one retains heat more effectively. I will now see whether the results will be drastically different with my other experiments. I have also noticed that the test tube 1 has a greater heat retaining ability that may well be due to the layer of air held between it and the test tube. To further prove this theory I will have to continue with my other experiments.…

    THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM & THE ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS Thermal Equilibrium If you want to know the temperature of a cup of hot coffee, you stick a thermometer in the coffee. As the two interact, the thermometer becomes hotter and the coffee cools off a little. After the thermometer settles down to a steady value, you read the temperature. The system has reached an equilibrium condition; further interaction between the thermometer and the coffee cause no more changes. This is a state of thermal equilibrium. If the systems are separated by an insulator, such as wood, plastic or fiber glass, they influence each other more slowly. An ideal insulator is a material that permits no interactions at all between the two systems. It prevents the systems from attaining thermal equilibrium if the systems are not in thermal equilibrium at the start. That’s why ice is packed in insulating materials so that the insulation delays the process of achieving thermal equilibrium with the surrounding. Zeroth law of thermodynamics If system A is in thermal equilibrium with system C, and system B is in thermal equilibrium with System C, then System A and System B must be in thermal equilibrium. Important implication:…
