PROJECT
 TOPIC – HEAT AND ENERGY
 NAME – YASH KABRA
 CLASS – IX D
 ROLL NO. - 42
 MENTOR – MRS.SUSHEELA
CONTAINS MOLECULES IN CONSTANT
MOTION, GIVING THEM KINETIC ENERGY,
AND POTENTIAL ENERGY DUE TO THE
FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN
MOLECULES.
HEAT ENERGY: DEFINED AS THE

INTERNAL ENERGY OF MOLECULES, WITH
HOTTER BODIES HAVING MORE INTERNAL
ENERGY.
UNITS OF HEAT: HEAT IS MEASURED IN

JOULES (J) OR CALORIES (CAL), WITH 1
CAL = 4.186 J.
DETERMINING HOTNESS:
TEMPERATURE DETERMINES THE
HOTNESS OF A BODY AND THE
DIRECTION OF HEAT FLOW, WITH HEAT
FLOWING FROM HIGHER TO LOWER
TEMPERATURE BODIES.
UNITS OF TEMPERATURE:
TEMPERATURE IS MEASURED IN KELVIN
(K) OR DEGREE CELSIUS (°C), WITH THE
RELATIONSHIP T(K) = T(°C) + 273.
ANOMALOUS EXPANSION: WATER,
SILVER IODIDE, AND SILICA EXHIBIT
ANOMALOUS EXPANSION, CONTRACTING
ON HEATING AND EXPANDING ON
COOLING WITHIN A SPECIFIC
THERMAL EXPANSION
EXPANSION OF SUBSTANCES: SOLIDS, LIQUIDS,
AND GASES EXPAND ON HEATING DUE TO
INCREASED KINETIC ENERGY OF MOLECULES,
LEADING TO EXPANSION IN LENGTH, AREA, OR
VOLUME.
ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF WATER: WATER

CONTRACTS ON HEATING AND EXPANDS ON
COOLING WITHIN A SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE
RANGE, KNOWN AS ANOMALOUS EXPANSION. THIS
PROPERTY IS DUE TO THE FORMATION OF A
HEXAGONAL LATTICE STRUCTURE IN WATER
MOLECULES, WHICH CAUSES THEM TO OCCUPY
MORE SPACE.
HOPE’S EXPERIMENT: T.C. HOPE'S APPARATUS

DEMONSTRATED THE ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF
WATER, HIGHLIGHTING THE TEMPERATURE AT
CONSEQUENCES OF ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF WATER
THE ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF WATER HAS VARIOUS CONSEQUENCES, SUCH AS IT PREVENTS

LARGE BODIES OF WATER FROM FREEZING SOLID, WHICH IS VITAL FOR AQUATIC LIFE.
THIS PROPERTY ALSO HELPS TO REGULATE EARTH'S CLIMATE BY MODERATING TEMPERATURE

FLUCTUATIONS IN AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS.
ENERGY FLOW IN AN
ECOSYSTEM
ENERGY FLOW IN AN ECOSYSTEM OCCURS
THROUGH FOOD CHAINS AND ENERGY
PYRAMIDS, WHICH REPRESENT THE
TRANSFER OF ENERGY FROM ONE
ORGANISM TO ANOTHER.
THIS ENERGY FLOW IS ESSENTIAL FOR
SUSTAINING LIFE WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM
AND MAINTAINING ECOLOGICAL BALANCE.
ENERGY FLOW IN AN ECOSYSTEM

FOLLOWS THE LAWS OF
THERMODYNAMICS, WITH ENERGY BEING
TRANSFERRED FROM ONE TROPHIC LEVEL
TO ANOTHER.
FOOD CHAIN
A FOOD CHAIN IS A SERIES OF ORGANISMS IN WHICH EACH ORGANISM IS EATEN BY THE NEXT
HIGHER ORGANISM IN THE CHAIN.
IT STARTS WITH PRODUCERS, SUCH AS PLANTS, WHICH ARE THEN CONSUMED BY PRIMARY
CONSUMERS (HERBIVORES), FOLLOWED BY SECONDARY CONSUMERS (CARNIVORES), AND SO
ON.
SOURCES OF ENERGY
ENERGY CAN BE DERIVED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, INCLUDING RENEWABLE AND
NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES, EACH WITH ITS ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS.
RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY:
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES ARE THOSE THAT ARE REPLENISHED NATURALLY AND ARE
SUSTAINABLE OVER THE LONG TERM.
EXAMPLES INCLUDE SOLAR ENERGY, WIND ENERGY, HYDRO ENERGY, AND BIOMASS ENERGY.
NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY:
NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES ARE FINITE
AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE DEPLETED WITH CONTINUED USE.
EXAMPLES - FOSSIL FUELS SUCH AS COAL, OIL, AND NATURAL GAS.

PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY FROM SOLAR
ENERGY:
OLAR ENERGY CAN BE HARNESSED TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY USING PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) CELLS, ALSO KNOWN AS SOLAR CELLS.
SOLAR CELLS CONVERT SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY INTO ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE PHOTOVOLTAIC EFFECT.
SOLAR CELL
A SOLAR CELL IS A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE THAT CONVERTS SUNLIGHT INTO
ELECTRICITY. WHEN SUNLIGHT STRIKES THE SOLAR CELL, IT EXCITES ELECTRONS,
CREATING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT. A SOLAR POWER PLANT IS A DEVICE IN WHICH HEAT
ENERGY OF SUN IS USED TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
SOLAR PANELS –
ADVANTAGES:
~ RENEWABLE AND ABUNDANT SOURCE OF ENERGY
~ ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WITH ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS
DISADVANTAGES:
~ INITIAL INSTALLATION COSTS CAN BE HIGH
~ DEPENDENT ON WEATHER CONDITIONS AND SUNLIGHT
AVAILABILITY
~ THE INITIAL COST OF A SOLAR PANEL IS SUFFICIENTLY HIGH.
~ THE EFFICIENCY OF CONVERSION OF SOLAR ENERGY TO
ELECTRICITY IS LOW.
~ A SOLAR PANEL PRODUCES DC WHICH CANNOT BE DIRECTLY
USED FOR MANY HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES.
PRODUCTION OF WIND ENERGY THROUGH A WIND GENERATOR
~ WHEN THE WIND STRIKES THE BLADES OF THE WIND MILL, THE KINETIC ENERGY OF WIND CHANGES INTO
ROTATIONAL KINETIC ENERGY OF THE BLADES.
~ THE ROTATION OF BLADES OF THE TURBINE ROTATES THE ARMATURE OF THE DYNAMO.
ADVANTAGES OF USING THE WIND ENERGY:
~ IT DOES NOT CAUSE ANY KIND OF POLLUTION.
~ IT IS AN EVERLASTING SOURCE.
LIMITATIONS OF USING THE WIND ENERGY:

~ THE WIND FARMS CAN BE ESTABLISHED ONLY AT PLACES NEAR THE COASTAL AREAS WHERE WIND BLOWS AROUND THE YEAR STEADILY WITH A SPEED NOT LESS THAN 15 KM H-1.
~ A LARGE AREA OF LAND IS NEEDED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A WIND FARM.
~ THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A WIND FARM IS EXPENSIVE .
PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY FROM HYDRO ENERGY
~ THE WATER AT A HEIGHT HAS POTENTIAL ENERGY STORED IN IT. WHEN THIS WATER FALLS DOWN, ITS POTENTIAL
ENERGY IS CONVERTED TO KINETIC ENERGY.
~ THE KINETIC ENERGY OF WATER IS TRANSFERRED TO THE BLADES OF TURBINE AS THE ROTATIONAL KINETIC ENERGY.
~ HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY IS A RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY
AS THE WATER ON EARTH WILL KEEP FLOWING FOR A VERY LONG
TIME.
~ ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IS NOT CAUSED AS THE ENERGY IS
OBTAINED FROM FLOWING WATER.
~ CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS ON RIVERS HELPS IN CONTROLLING
FLOODS. IT ALSO AIDS IRRIGATION PROCESS.
DISADVANTAGES
~ DAMS CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ONLY IN CERTAIN AREAS AS
FLOWING WATER IS NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.
~ LARGE AREAS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND AND HUMAN SETTLEMENT
NEED TO BE SACRIFICED AS THEY GET SUBMERGED IN THE
RESERVOIR FORMED BY DAMS. ~ LARGE ECOSYSTEMS ARE
DESTROYED.
~THE VEGETATION WHICH IS SUBMERGED, ROTS UNDER
ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS AND GIVES RISE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF
PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY
FROM NUCLEAR ENERGY
~ NUCLEAR ENERGY IS GENERATED IN A

PROCESS CALLED NUCLEAR FISSION. ~ IN THIS
PROCESS, THE NUCLEUS OF A HEAVY ATOM WHEN
BOMBARDED WITH
Production
Production of LOW-ENERGY
ofElectricity
Electricity from
fromNuclear NEUTRONS
NuclearEnergy
Energ
SPLITS INTO LIGHTER NUCLEI. THIS RELEASES A

LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY DUE TO MASS
DEFECT.
~ THE DIFFERENCE IN MASS M BETWEEN THE
ORIGINAL NUCLEUS AND THE PRODUCT NUCLEI
GETS CONVERTED TO ENERGY E AT A RATE
GOVERNED BY EINSTEIN’S EQUATION E = M C2.
ENERGY
~ A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF NUCLEAR FUEL (SUCH AS

URANIUM - 235) CAN PRODUCE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
ENERGY.
~ ONCE THE NUCLEAR FUEL IS LOADED INTO A NUCLEAR
POWER PLANT, IT CONTINUES TO RELEASE ENERGY FOR
SEVERAL YEARS.
LIMITATION OF USE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY
~ IT IS NOT A CLEAN SOURCE OF ENERGY BECAUSE VERY

HARMFUL NUCLEAR RADIATIONS ARE PRODUCED IN THE
PROCESSES WHICH ARE HIGHLY ENERGETIC AND PENETRATING.
~ THEY CAUSE IONISATION AND HENCE THEY ARE VERY
HARMFUL TO THE HUMAN BODY.
~ THE WASTE OBTAINED FROM THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
~ THE CLOUDS AND THE GREEN HOUSE GASES
PREVENT A LARGE FRACTION OF RADIATIONS GIVEN
OUT BY THE EARTH'S SURFACE, FROM BEING
ESCAPED INTO THE SPACE.
~ THE GREEN HOUSE GASES PRESENT IN THE

EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE PLAY A ROLE SIMILAR TO
THAT OF GLASS WALLS OF A GREEN HOUSE
~ THUS, WE DEFINE THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT AS

THE PHENOMENON IN WHICH INFRARED RADIATIONS
OF LONG WAVELENGTH GIVEN OUT FROM THE
SURFACE OF A PLANET ARE ABSORBED BY ITS
ATMOSPHERIC GASES TO KEEP THE ENVIRONMENT
AT THE PLANET'S SURFACE AND THE LOWER
ATMOSPHERE, WARM.
GLOBAL WARMING MEANS AN INCREASE IN THE AVERAGE
EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE OF EARTH'S SURFACE DUE TO
AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF GREEN HOUSE GASES
IN ITS ATMOSPHERE.
SOME FUTURE PREDICTIONS CAN BE MADE AS FOLLOWS:
~ DISLOCATION AND DISAPPEARANCE OF PLANT AND

ANIMAL SPECIES
~ WARMING OF THE OCEAN
~ MELTING OF GLACIERS
~ SHIFT IN THE FARMING REGION
~ CHANGES IN THE REGIONAL CLIMATE
~ VARIABLE CHANGES IN THE CLIMATE
~ INCREASE IN COST OF AIR CONDITIONING
~ CHANGE IN THE SEA LEVEL
MINIMIZING GLOBAL WARMING
MEASURES TO MINIMIZE:
TECHNOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLICY MEASURES ARE ESSENTIAL TO

MINIMIZE GLOBAL WARMING AND REDUCE THE IMPACT OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS.
CONCLUSION
IT BEGINS WITH AN EXPLANATION OF HEAT AS A FORM OF
ENERGY AND THE MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE USING
DIFFERENT SCALES. THE CHAPTER EXPLORES THERMAL
EXPANSION, DETAILING LINEAR, SUPERFICIAL, AND
VOLUMETRIC EXPANSION WITH PRACTICAL EXAMPLES.
IT ALSO DELVES INTO SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY,

EXPLAINING HOW DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES REQUIRE
DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF HEAT TO CHANGE THEIR
TEMPERATURES. THE CHAPTER DISCUSSES THE CHANGE OF
STATE, INCLUDING LATENT HEAT AND PROCESSES LIKE
MELTING AND BOILING. FINALLY, IT EXPLAINS THERMAL
CONDUCTION AND THE FACTORS AFFECTING THERMAL
CONDUCTIVITY.
THIS COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE EQUIPS STUDENTS WITH

A SOLID UNDERSTANDING OF HEAT AND ITS EFFECTS,
