Why is the back of an electric fire shiny?
Probably so science teachers can ask the question - the answer to which is that shiny surfaces are poor emitters of infra red radiation, thus minimising heat loss from the kettle and improving the rate of heat at which it heats the water for your cup of tea ( in the UK) or coffee (U.S)
What are the best insulators for heat?
First wrap shiny foil around your bottle to reflect radiant heat. I think bubble wrap is good for the next layer, because it has the most air. Use foam to cover the first 2 layers to prevent heat loss or gain due to conduction. And there you have it, a heat shield!
A thermos bottle has a shiny interior What type of heat transfer does it prevent?
It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.
Why do insulation materials reduce heat loss?
They hold heat inside of the object NOOO! That's wrong ^ Insulation materials reduce heat loss because they are poor conductors. So please please don't put the first answer!
Why do dark colors reduce heat loss?
The darker the color is, the less heat radiation occurs.
The shiny side of aluminum foil is placed towards your food to prevent heat loss due to?
There is no discernible heat retention difference between the shiny or the dull side of aluminum foil. The shiny side is shiny because of the way foil is made. During the last pass through the rolling mill, a double thickness of foil is run between the rollers. The side of each sheet that comes in contact with the polished steel rollers comes out shiny. The other side has a matte finish.
What methods would you use to reduce heat loss from a cup of tea?
using different cups to reduce heat loss
Does tin foil placed on windows reflect heat making the room cooler?
Not completely, but it does help tremendously. If you don't mind the ugly look it'll give your house/apartment go ahead and give it a shot. Remember, shiny side out. If not you can go to Lowes
