Review for 12 Week CCA For Tuesday 11-11-2014 Make Flash Cards using these terms and definitions. Study these 20 minutes each night. Thermal Energy The energy from atoms within a substance or object bumping into each other. (heat) Conduction The movement or transfer of heat from one object or substance to another by direct contact. Radiation The transfer or movement of thermal energy from one object to another by invisible waves. (Think of how the Sun warms your body as you face it.) This is the transfer or movement of thermal energy through fluids such as water or air. Warm fluids will rise while the cooler fluids will sink. (Lava Lamp and Boiling Water). Heat moving from one area or substance to another. Convection Thermal Energy transfer Energy Transformation Power Plant Turbine One type of energy changing into another type of energy. (A car uses chemical energy gasoline and transforms it into mechanical energy.) A facility where electricity is generated from • Chemical energy (fossil fuels) • Mechanical energy (wind) • Nuclear Energy (nuclear fission) • Gravitational energy (hydroelectric) • occasionally Radiant Energy or solar power The part of the power plant with blades( like a fan or propeller). IN EVERY power plant, it is Mechanical Energy that turns the turbine. Page 1
