A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the 'source') to another location, using mechanical work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink.

What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
What wave can transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter?
transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter
What happens to the particles of matter when thermal energy is added to it?
When thermal energy is added to particles of matter, it causes the particles to move faster and emit more energy.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
What is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter?
Energy transfer by radiation.
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
What is the transfer of thermal energy when particles of matter move from one place to another?
heat tranfer dope
What wave can transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter?
transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter
What happens to the particles of matter when thermal energy is added to it?
When thermal energy is added to particles of matter, it causes the particles to move faster and emit more energy.
What happens is energy is taken away from matter?
When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.
The transfer of thermal energy in matter with no overall transfer of matter is called?
conduction
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
The transfer of thermal energy in matter wih no overall transfer of matter is called?
Conduction
What is the form of thermal transfer that does not require matter?
Energy transfer by radiation.
As the thermal energy of matter increases, its particles usually spread out, causing?
thermal expansion.
What is the transfer of thermal energy by movement of heated matter?
convection
What is the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of heated matter?
