Thermodynamics

1. The average kinetic energy of particles in an object
4. If two systems are separately found to be in thermal equilibrium with the third system, the first two systems are in thermal equilibrium with each other
9. Thermal energy flows from hot to cold
10. Equilibrium Obtained when touching objects within a system reach the same temperature
12. The measure of a material's ability to resist heat
16. The transfer of heat by the movement of warm matter
17. Energy generated from the thermal energy stored beneath the Earth's surface
19. All objects lose and gain thermal energy by electromagnetic radiation
20. The heat required to raise unit mass of a substance by unit temperature interval under specified conditions
21. Measure of how evenly distributed heat is within a system
22. The process by which energy is transmitted through a medium as electromagnetic waves

2. The study of the effects of work, heat flow, and energy on a system
3. Radiant energy emitted by the sun
5. Kinetic energy in transit from one object to another due to temperature difference
6. Dish that contains an engine system that converts collected heat into mechanical power
7. Mirrors surrounding the tower rotate to focus sunlight onto the receiving panel
8. Thermal energy can change form and location, but it cannot be created or destroyed
11. The transfer of heat energy occurring by a movement of currents
13. The measure of a material's ability to conduct heat
14. Consist of a heat transfer fluid that circulates throughout the absorber tubes
15. Heat collectors that convert sunlight into electricity to run small equipment by creating a direct current
18. Occurs when kinetic energy is removed from an object
