What factors affect the resistance of material to the flow of energy?

The resistivity of metals increases with temperature. Going the other way, some metals become superconductors if the temperature is lowered to a sufficiently low temperature.


How does adding humidity to the air in a residents affect the thermostat settling?

To answer your question as it is written: It has no Effect on the setting of the thermostat. If the stat is set at 72* and you add humidity, the stat is still set at 72*. Assuming you are really asking what the reaction of the stat will be, there will be no reaction. Humidity is latent heat measured by a humidistat, a thermostat can only measure and react to changes in sensible heat.


How does a thermostat work?

Thermostats operate in a way so as to control (through their extensions) temperature about a selected setpoint. Some are fixed and some can have the setpoints selected. There must be some "sensor" in the device that will react to changes in temperature. The response of the "sensor" is used to direct intervention to affect control of the temperature. Wikipedia has a good post on the different types of thermostat and how they work. A link is provided.


How does the size of a barrier or opening affect the amount of diffraction of a wave?

Huygen's Principle tells us that, at each point that a propagating wave reaches, a spherical wave emanates outwards from that point. When we're looking at a plane wave propagating (without a collision), the spherical emanations from each point on the wave front cancel out in all but the forward propagation direction, which is why a plane wave continues to travel as a plane wave. When a wave strikes a barrier with a tiny opening in it, on the other side of the opening you can expect to see waves propagating outward radially from the opening. When the opening is wider, the spherical waves coming from the points towards the center of the opening nearly cancel out, but at the edges of the opening there isn't anything to cancel out with, so if you're not in line with the opening (as in, if you look at the nearest point in the opening, your line of sight is not perpendicular to the original wavefront), you will see the wavefront coming radially from the opening edge nearest you. The closer you are (angularly) to being in front of the opening, the more plane-like the wave will be. It is because of this same diffraction that we see an interference pattern when there are two small openings in the barrier. In this case, the radial waves will constructively and destructively interfere at different points beyond the barrier.

How can you bypass a thermostat on a 2000 Saturn LS?

You CAN just remove it; but that introduces another set of problems. The computer monitors the engine temperature, and if the engine is not warming sufficiently the computer will start to report a fault. A cold engine does not perform as well, and if the thermostat is removed the engine will not be able to reach operating temperature. The thermostat restricts coolant flow into the radiator while the engine is cool. Once the engine warms to operating temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing excessive heat to be dissipated through the radiator. Removing the thermostat is NOT recommended and can significantly affect performance and engine wear.

Does the thermostat on a auto affect the heat of the auto?

Yes it does affect the heat.the rating of the thermostat temp also affects temperature.example some cars use a 180 degree thermostat some 220 degree the latte will allow your vehicle to run at a hotter temp.
