Physics Sec 4 / O level Transfer of Thermal Energy

Course Intro

• Welcome to “Mastering Thermal Energy Transfer in Physics,” where you’ll explore the world of heat and energy flow.
• Understand how thermal equilibrium, conduction, convection, and radiation shape our world.
• Get ready to uncover the science behind everyday phenomena.

Course Description

Thermal energy transfer, also known as heat transfer, is the movement of energy from one body or substance to another as a result of a difference in temperature. This course will cover the three types of thermal energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Students will learn about the physical principles and mathematical equations that govern heat transfer, as well as practical applications in engineering and industry. Topics may include the use of heat exchangers, insulation, and thermal barriers, as well as the design and analysis of thermal systems. The course will include both theoretical and laboratory components.
