Explain everyday applications using ideas about conduction, convection and radiation, including: (a) heating objects such as kitchen pans (b) heating a room by convection (c) measuring temperature using an infrared thermometer (d) using thermal insulation to maintain the temperature of a liquid and to reduce thermal energy transfer in buildings
Define specific heat capacity as the energy required per unit mass per unit temperature increase; recall and use the equation specific heat capacity = change in energy / (mass × change in temperature), c = ΔE/(mΔθ)
