Change of State and Transfer of Heat
Heat can raise a substance's temperature, change its state by supplying its heat of fusion or heat of vaporization, or move from one place to another by conduction, convection, or radiation.
Explore the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization, the difference between crystalline and amorphous solids, and how to calculate the total heat needed to carry a substance through several changes of state.
Learn how heat conducts through materials at the molecular level, compare the conductivity of common substances, and calculate heat flow through an object.
Understand how heat moves through fluids by convection and through empty space by radiation, and see how these two methods explain everyday phenomena.
A comprehensive review covering heat of fusion, heat of vaporization, and the three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
