What does it mean to reject heat?
Typically in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, air cooling rejects heat to the outside air by circulating ‘outside’ air over coils containing ‘hot’ fluid returning from the building. Heat is transferred from the coil to the air which is then rejected to the outside.
Does all work end up as heat?
Work is the transfer of energy by any process other than heat. Heat and work are related: work can be completely converted into heat, but the reverse is not true: heat cannot be completely converted to work.
Does friction force depend on temperature?
3. The coefficient of friction is found to be strongly dependent on temperature and decreases continuously from 0.78 to 0.46 between 24 °C and 450 °C. 4. The reduction in coefficient of friction is found to be commensurate with the progressive formation of a ‘glaze-layer’.
Why does temperature increase as friction is increased and vice versa?
With an increase in frictional force, the temperature increases but the vice-versa is not true. As the temperature increases then distance between the particles of the body increases due to thermal expansion which results in smoothening the surface accordingly and the frictional force between them decreases.
When the temperature increases the coefficient of friction decreases?
As the temperature increases, the coefficient of friction has a greater variation. Except from the experimental results carried out at 100 ºC, the general tendency of the coefficient of friction is to decrease as the contact pressure increases.
What is the static force?
Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. The friction experienced when individuals try to move a stationary object on a surface, without actually triggering any relative motion between the body and the surface which it is on.
Can static friction accelerate an object?
Can friction ever speed things up? ANSWER: Yes! Static friction between your feet and the floor is what allows you to walk! Walking certainly involves speeding up, and this would not be possible if the floor were frictionless or covered in marbles!
