Explain how a radiator in a room is able to warm the whole room?
warm air particles slowly pass heat energy to all the other air particles
What are 3 examples of convections?
convection currents an example is a heat radiator...it radiates heat which warms the air. the air rises as its heated and cooler air takes its place then being heated by the radiator...this continues until the room is heated and so is a pot is on a stove and the water is boiling and the cold water is at the top and it goes to the bottom
If a cold object is placed in a warm room what would happen?
A: Heat from the room will move to the cold object. B: Condensation will happen
Can a lava lamp give off heat like can it heat up a cold room?
One lamp won't do much. I have 10 and my room is always really hot when they are all on
What would one use a thermostatic radiator valve for?
A thermostatic radiator valve is a valve that is connected to the hot water heating system. It can control the room temperature by regulating the amount of water that goes into the radiator. The valve is able to control this by sensing the temperature of the air.
What does a radiator do?
In your car, the radiator transfers its heat to the surroundings - the air. [Strictly, this is conduction, but don't quibble. This is mechanic talk.] In your room, the radiator does radiate heat into the room.
How does a radiator heat up a room when the door is shut?
the air inside heats up and hits the side of the radiator. metal is a conductor so the heat goes through the side of the radiator and all around the room.
How does a room heat up without a radiator or heater?
The sun Makes rooms heat up
How does a hot water radiator heat a room?
The hot water heats the metal of the radiator, which heats the surrounding air. The warm air circles round the room.
How is heat from the air surrounding the radiator transferred to the air in the rest of the room?
Heat gets into the room in two ways: convection and infrared radiation. The "fins" of a radiator heat the air molecules around it, causing them to expand. As the hot air expands, it rises, creating a vacuum behind it.
Can you attach wet underfloor heating to a single room from an existing radiator system?
yes!
Explain how convection could be used to heat a room with a hot radiator on one side of the room?
Hot air rises to the ceiling and as it cools on the far side of the ceiling it sinks back down to the floor on the opposite side of the room from the radiator. It will not evenly heat the room. To get the best comfort level, you need a ceiling fan to push the hot air to the floor. The hot radiator sets up convection currents that transfer thermal energy to the rest of the room and eventually heat the entire room. How do convection currents work? The hot radiator warms the air that is closest to the radiator. The warm air expands, becomes less dense and rises to the top of the room. When the air reaches the top of the room it is pushed sideways towards the far wall by the more recently warmed air rising from the radiator below. In this way warm air moves to the other side of the room. Once on the other side of the room the air drops down both because it has cooled a little and because the air behind it continues to push on it. The air then continues to circulate back to the radiator and repeat the process.
How does heat get from inside the boiler to the wall behind the radiator?
Conduction of heat energy from the source to the water in the boiler. A pump moves the hot water to the radiator.The heat radiates out from the radiator to the air, where convection then circulates it through the room.
Does delonghi trd0715t oil filled radiator heater produce CO2?
An oil-filled heater such as the DeLonghi does not produce C02 - there is no combustion involved - an electric heating element inside a sealed metal housing transfers heat to encapsulated oil, which in turn heats up the entire radiator housing. The heated housing then transfers heat to the air in the room.\
How does a hot-water radiator heat a room's air.?
It heats from the celci-di that heats an outdoors calborithm
How does a hot water radiator heat a room's air?
It heats from the celci-di that heats an outdoors calborithm
Is it best to use room heaters or heat pump?
It depends. A heat pump is probably more efficient if you're going to heat the entire house evenly; if you only want it warm in one room, a room heater may be better.
