The increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings

Methods of heat transfer
• There are three kinds of heat transfer:There are three kinds of heat transfer: Conductive: This is where one object transfers heat directly through contact with another object.y g jRadiation: This is when heat is transferred by radiating off of an object.C ti Thi i h h t i i d f bj tConvective: This is where heat is carried from one object by a fluid motion in a gas or liquid.*Convective heat transfer can be natural or forcedConvective heat transfer can be natural or forced.Forced convection occurs when a fluid flow is induced by an external force.Natural convection is caused by buoyancy forces due to density differences caused by temperature variations in th fl idthe fluid.

Heat transfer by radiationHeat transfer by radiation
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation, also called light even though it is not always visible, is a self-propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic componentsin space with electric and magnetic components.EM radiation carries energy and momentum, which may be imparted when it interacts with matter.be imparted when it interacts with matter.
Energy transfer by radiationEnergy transfer by radiationAlpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, identical to the nucleus of a helium atom A sheet of paperidentical to the nucleus of a helium atom. A sheet of paper or a person's surface layer of skin will stop them. Alpha particles are only considered hazardous to a person's health if they are ingested or inhaled and thus come into contact with sensitive cells such as in the lungs liver and boneswith sensitive cells such as in the lungs, liver and bones.
Beta particles are electrons emitted from the nuclei of many fission products. They can travel a few feet in air but can usually be stopped by clothing or a few centimeters of wood. They are considered hazardous mainly if ingested or inhaled, but can cause radiation damage to the skin if the exposure is large enough.
Neutrons which are contained in the nucleus of an atom canNeutrons which are contained in the nucleus of an atom can be expelled during fission. They interact weakly with matter and are very penetrating - not easy to stop. Neutron radiation typically occurs inside nuclear reactors but water and concrete provide effective shieldingand concrete provide effective shielding.
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation (like light, radio, and television) that come from the nucleus of a radioactive atom. They penetrate matter easily and are best stopped by water or thick layers of lead or concrete. Gamma radiation is hazardous to people inside and outside of the body.

Diagnostic and therapeuticf h t d lduses of heat and cold
Cryosurgery (cryotherapy) is the application of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue.
• Warts, moles, skin tags, solar keratoses, and small skin cancers are candidates for cryosurgical treatment. Some internal disorders are also treated with cryosurgery including liverdisorders are also treated with cryosurgery, including liver cancer, prostate cancer, cervical disorders and, more commonly in the past, hemorrhoids. Although found to be effective, this method of treatment is only appropriate for use against localizedmethod of treatment is only appropriate for use against localized diseases with no metastasis.
• Cryosurgery works by taking advantage of the destructive force of freezing temperatures on cells. At low temperatures, ice crystals form inside the cells, which can tear them apart. More damage occurs when blood vessels supplying the diseased g pp y gtissue freeze.
Microwave or Radio Diathermyy
