How does the heat from sun reach earth

Physics
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

Liquid sodium can be used as a heat transfer fluid. Its vapor pressure is 40.0 torr at 633°C and 400.0 torr at 823°C. Calculate
kaheart [24]

Answer:

H vaporization = 100.0788 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Use clausius clapyron's adaptation for the calculation of Hvap as:

ln\frac {P_2}{P_1}=\frac {H_{vap}}{R}(\frac {1}{T_1}-\frac {1}{T_2})

Where,

P₂ and P₁ are the pressure at Temperature T₂ and T₁ respectively.

R is the gas constant.

T₂ = 823°C

T₁ = 633°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So, the temperature,

T₂ = (823 + 273.15) K = 1096.15 K

T₁ = (633 + 273.15) K = 906.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 torr , P₁ = 40.0 torr

R = 8.314 J/K.mol

Applying in the formula to calculate heat of vaporization as:

ln \frac {400}{40}=\frac {H_{vap}}{R} (\frac {1}{906.15}-\frac {1}{1096.15})

Solving for heat of vaporization, we get:

H vaporization = 100078.823 J/mol

Also, 1 J = 10⁻³ kJ

So,

<u>H vaporization = 100.0788 kJ/mol</u>

Analyze that, “Convection is equal to the Conduction plus fluid flow.”
igomit [66]

Answer:

Convection is equal to the conduction plus fluid flow.

Explanation:

Convection is a mode of heat transfer that requires the movement of the molecules of the medium from one point to another. It takes place majorly in fluids (liquids and gases). While conduction is a process by which heat is transfered by the vibtation of molecules of a medium at their possitions, thereby colliding with other neighbouring molecules to transmit heat.

Before convection could occur, there must be conduction of heat by the molecules of the medium which causes their motion. According to the kinetic molecular theory, any molecule of the medium close to the source of heat conducts heat, becomes less dense and thus moves so that its initial position would be occupied by another denser molecule. This continous process generate convection or convectional current. Therefore, convection is as a result of conduction and fluid flow because a molecule must first conduct heat before it moves.
