UTF-8ConvectionProviding a mechanism for Kinetic Energy transfer (= "heat") from a hot to a cold solid object.
Your Name:Dustin Theibert
1. Enter your name and save this simulation with the file name "Convection_My_Name" using your full name in the title.
2. Run the simulation. Which solid object is hotter than the other? Left object
3. Watch the Kinetic energy graph as you run the simulation. Does the Average Kinetic energy of the hot solid object decrease? Remains fairly constant above .3 and below .5
Does the Average kinetic energy of the cold object increase? No Is there a transfer of heat occuring between them? No
4. Are they at the same or different temperatures? If you measure the whole container area as the same then same temperature if you measure each piece of solid seperately then they would have different.
5. Adding something to the simulation to provide for a mechanism for transfering Average Kinetic Energy between the hot and cold object.
6. Run the simulation and watch the Average KE graphs. Do they reach equilibrium? Yes over a long enough time
Provide an explanation of what you did and whether it worked here: Explain your reasoning! Then Upload your simulation to the class site and send me an email with the link.
Adding many small molecules between the two to as a bridge to transfer heat seemed work best. Also making them heavier and having a higher eV made it so less would behave like liquid then gas. In earlier attempts the bridge would disconnect from both sides and act like a gas. By increasing the number of molecules it seemed to fix this so each atom in the bridge would have to hold less kinetic energy.
