Learning Objective: Recognize the 

 various methods of heat transfer 

 within our environment, including 

 the terms applied to these methods. 



8-1. By which methods of heat transfer do low 

 level parcels of air receive heat from 

 the earth? 8-6. 



1. Radiation and advection only 



2. Radiation and conduction 



3. Radiation and convection only 



4. Radiation, convection, and advection 



8-2. A cold object touched by a warm object is 

 heated by 



1. radiation 



2. advection 



3. convection 8-7. 



4. conduction 



8-3. When a pot of cold water is heated to the 

 boiling point, what two methods of heat 

 transfer are employed? 



1. Conduction and radiation 



2. Convection and conduction 



3. Convection and advection 



4. Convection and radiation 



8-8. 

 8-4. Which method of heat transfer is responsi- 

 ble for the transportation of the greatest 

 amount of heat from one latitude to 

 another? 



1. Advection 



2. Conduction 



3. Convection 



4. Radiation 8-9. 



8-5. Which of the following requires the great- 

 est amount of time for either heating or 

 cooling? 



1. A dry, sandy area 



2. An ocean surface 



3. An ice surface 



4. A forest area 



Learning Objective: Identify the 

 standard conditions relating to 

 gases, the effects of the kinetic 

 theory, and some of the major 

 laws, theorems, and principles 

 affecting gases. 



What are the standard conditions under 

 which gases can be compared, densities 

 determined, and gas constants derived? 



1. 0° C temperature and 760 mb pressure 



2. 0° C temperature and 760mm pressure 



3. 15° C temperature and 1,013.25 mb 

 pressure 



4. 15° C temperature and 1,013.25mm 

 pressure 



The pressure of an enclosed gas depends 

 on the 



1. number of molecules it contains 



2. average space between its molecules 



3. force with which its molecules collide 

 with one another 



4. number of times its molecules strike 

 the container during a given period 

 of time 



The volume of a gas is inversely propor- 

 tional to its pressure, provided its 

 temperature remains constant, defines 



1. Charles' Law 



2. Boyle's Law 



3. Equation of State 



4. Universal Gas Law 



If the volume of a confined gas is held 

 constant while its temperature is 

 increased, what changes in pressure and 

 molecular speed will take place? 



1. Both pressure and molecular speed will 

 decrease 



2. Both pressure and molecular speed will 

 increase 



3. Pressure will increase and molecular 

 speed will decrease 



4. Pressure will decrease and molecular 

 speed will increase
