Principle of conduction

• In conduction, thermal energy is


transferred from one molecule to
the nearby molecule by means of
a collision. There is no relocation
of molecules.

Conduction
• During cooking, heat is transferred
from the outside to the centre of a solid
piece of food by means of conduction,
e.g., steak.
Q/t = how fast it is cooked?
K ~ steak, pork or chicken
Q kA ∆T A ~ area of the steak

____ =
__________ ∆ T ~ how hot is the pan
L ~ how thick is the steak

Principle of conduction
• Food heats up slowly
cellular structure of food impedes the
movement of heat energy
• Rate of heat transfer is determined by
(i) thickness of the food
(ii) overall shape of the food
(iii) the temperature of the pan
(iv) time it takes
How Much Energy is Needed to
heat up the food?
• Q=mc∆T
– Q: Heat (amount of thermal energy
required)
– m: Mass (g)
– c: Specific Heat Capacity
– ∆T: Change in Temperature
Heat Capacity
• The energy required to raise the
temperature of a specific material.

• Water has a very high heat


capacity, metals generally have a
low heat capacity.
Heat Conductance
• It defines how well/fast heat flows
through the material

• Some metals (shown in red in the


graph) are excellent heat
conductors (silver, copper,
aluminum), others less so (iron
and stainless steel). All other
materials (shown in blue) are
generellay poor heat conductors.

Ever burnt your tongue on a pizza?

• Tomatoes (mostly water) retain


heat far better than the crust
(many air bubbles, low heat
capacity) and cheese topping
(cools fast due to radiation from
surface).
