How does forced air heating work?
Forced air heating works by the warm air being pumped through the system and pipes so that it radiates the heat out into the room. This is a quicker but more expensive way of heating than convection.
Why is your house warm on a cold day even though you haven't turned on the heat?
Because your house has INSULATION, it keeps the warm air in, and the cold air out.
How does insulation keep a home warm?
Insulation can help keep a warm house warm or a cool house cool. It reduces the transfer of heat by conduction, so warm air stays warm, and cool air stays cool. Insulation is a material that is a poor conductor of heat, usually because of pockets of trapped air.
What are the results of air being forced upward?
The results of air being forced upward is rising temperature. If air is pressurized it gets warm because the particles have to move more quickly.
Which part of the house is cooler the first floor or the second floor?
Warm air tends to rise, so all else being equal the second floor may be warmer than the first. This is complicated by forced air circulation, so in any particular house this may not be true, or at least may not be true all the time.
In a forced - air heating system the warm air circulates by convection?
No, its forced by an electric blower...otherwise it wouldn't be forced air
Which type of heating system includes fans to circulate warm air?
Forced-air Heating
In a forced-air heating system the warm air circulates by convection true or false?
false
Where are warm-air vents usually located in a forced-air heating system?
Near The Floor
Why does your air conditioner disburse an initial blast of warm air before cool air flows out?
It takes a moment for the cooling system to kick in and start cooling. So the warm air that is sitting in the system is forced out when the unit is turned on.
Conventional heating systems include?
Solar Energy: Active- Using solar panels to warm house . Passive- Using windows ( or no machine.) Forced Air- When air is forced through air vents through out home. Electric- this method uses conduction to warm air around.

What happens to the warm air when it overtakes the cold air?
the warm air will rise
Air conditioning system delivers warm air what is the cause?
If you mean how an air conditioner that goes in a window will blow warm air outside then that is because an air conditioner basically takes in air from outside and pulls out the cold air which then blows into your house then the warm air is released back outside.
What occurs when a mass of cold air moves into a mass of warm air?
What happens is similar to when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass: the Cold Air Mass is forced to Subside beneath the Warm Air Mass. Thusly the warm air is uplifted, it cools and Rain is formed. When a Warm Air Mass meets a Cold Air Mass, the warm air is [again] forced to Rise above the Cold Air Mass, it cools and Rain is formed.
When cold air mass moves into a warm air mass causing a cold front the warm air mass is?
The warm air mass is forced to rise, creating convection and precipitation.
What type of air is always forced upward at a front?
WARM
