Decreases.

Natural convection occurs because of:

Differences in fluid density due to temperature difference.

Which is TRUE of absolute temperature?

Discovering the starting point of temperature required mathematical calculations.

Which of the following statements is TRUE of specific heat capacity?

Each substance has its own specific heat capacity regardless of state.

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

What is the operating principle of glass stem thermometers?

Expansion and contraction of the fluid makes the liquid level rise and fall with temperature.

What temperature scale uses 32° as the freezing point of water and 212° as the boiling point of water?

Fahrenheit

What is the purpose of adding fins on the tubing used for heat transfer?

Fins increase heat transfer by increasing the surface area.

If water in a cup is 10°C and the cup is 20°C, which way will the heat travel according to the second law of thermodynamics?

Heat will travel from the cup to the water.

Which type of thermometer can measure the temperature of a surface from a distance?

Infrared

According to Joe's pressure-temperature chart, the saturation temperature for 12 lb of pressure is 36.9°F. The actual refrigerant temperature measured was 35.2°F. What does this tell you about the refrigerant?

It is subcooled.

An air conditioner with refrigerant R-22 has a low-side pressure of 70 psig and a temperature of 55°F. According to the pressure-temperature chart:

It is superheated.

Select the temperature scales that can be used to work gas law problems. You may select more than one.

Kelvin and Rankine

The absolute temperature scale for Celsius is:

Kelvin.

Refrigerant in the evaporator coil of an air conditioner changes from a liquid to a gas when hot air passes over it. The temperature of the refrigerant does not change. What concept does this demonstrate?

Latent heat

A heat process that causes a substance to change state is called:

Latent heat.

Which of the following forms of heat travels in waves?

Radiant heat

Campers being heated by a fire outside are an example of:

Radiation.

The absolute temperature scale for Fahrenheit is:

Rankine.

What is the first color of visible light that is given off by heated objects as they increase in temperature?

Red

A heat process that causes a change in a substance's temperature is called:

Sensible heat.

How many steps are required to calculate the heat necessary to change 10 lb of ice at -20°F to steam at 250°F?

Six

Substance A

The Kelvin temperature scale is:

The absolute temperature scale for Celsius.

The Rankine temperature scale is:

The absolute temperature scale for Fahrenheit.

Temperature is the measure of:

The average kinetic energy in a substance.

How do the freezing point of water and absolute zero compare?

The freezing point of water is a higher temperature than absolute zero.

Which of the following changes occur in a melting ice cube?

The water changes from a solid to a liquid.

The relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit is that:

There are 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees for every Celsius degree.
