Mechanical Properties of matter: Describe, analyse and apply principles heat and thermal properties of solids and liquid

Subject outcome

Subject outcome 5.5: Describe, analyse and apply principles heat and thermal properties of solids and liquid

Learning outcomes

  • Describe and apply expansion of solids (refer to linear, area and volume expansion).
  • Describe and apply expansion of liquids and viscosity.
  • Define and calculate latent heat.
  • Describe and differentiate between vapour pressure and boiling point.
  • Describe evaporation as a cooling process and factors that have an effect (surface area, temperature, volatile liquids, air currents and air pressure).
