Why is heat the most common form of wasted energy?
Heat energy is the most wasted form of energy.
Portable heaters heat by way of?
Radiation.
Do heaters use materials that have a high or low heat capacity?
heaters use material what have low specific heat capacity as it means they give off heat slower which preserves the heat to last all day
Is friction a way to produce heat energy?
Yes. Whenever energy is wasted through friction, most of this wasted energy is converted to heat.
What is the wasted energy in a torch?
The main wasted energy is the heat generated in the bulb. If it is an incandescent bulb 70-80% of the total energy from the battery is wasted as heat.
What are the benefits of immersion heaters?
Immersion heaters allow you to heat liquids directly. This is more efficient than heating the object that holds the liquid, because the heat must heat the container, then the container must heat the liquid. Other heaters cannot do this because they cannot be submerged into liquids.
What are immersion heaters used for?
Immersion heaters are used for heating water in a hot water tank. Immersion heaters are usually controlled by thermostat and they will heat your water to a set temperature for as long as you leave it on that setting, or you can have a timer set. It is usually an expensive way to heat water compared to central heating systems with hot water circuits.

Using the Right Immersion Heaters for the Job?
Immersion heaters are electric devices that heat water or other liquids when they are immersed in the liquid. They have several uses that range from domestic to industrial. You may recognize an immersion heater as the heater that you place in your fish tank to keep the water temperature regulated. Screw Plug Heaters Screw plug immersion heaters are short tubes placed in a hexagonal plug that is threaded. They are designed specifically to fit into holes that are built in the sides of tanks that hold water or pressurized gases. The screw plug heater creates an air-tight seal when it is screwed completely into the tank. A small gauge on the head of the heater will give you the readings as the temperature inside the tank changes. Even a small immersion heater can change the temperature of a large volume of water or gas when it is contained in a sealed tank. Screw plug immersion heaters are primarily used in industrial settings. Side Mounted Heaters If you need to heat a large volume of water or other liquid but you don’t have the luxury of penetrating the side of the container, side mounted immersion heaters may be the right choice. The heating element is a long tube that is extended from the end of a vertical bar. An attachment at the top of the vertical bar will allow you to hang the heater into the liquid from the side of the container. These immersion heaters are far more flexible than other types, and can be moved from tank to tank or removed for cleaning very easily. Flanged Heaters Flanged immersion heaters create a high level of heat very quickly. They consist of several heating elements bent into a tube shape and welded onto a flange. The flange is inserted into the side of the tank that holds the substance that needs to be heated. Flanged immersion heaters are ideal for creating steam, because they heat liquid substances to very high temperatures quickly enough to cause vaporization. You can buy flanged heaters with several different sizes of flanges to fit your particular application. Flanged heaters are used for several industrial purposes.
Where's the best place to buy immersion heaters?
I would suggest look at chromolax and omega. Another good place to look would be Home Depot. Prothermind also offers a complete line of immersion heaters.
Do heaters produce heat or use heat?
Heaters use electricity to produce heat by resistance.
What are heaters and coolers?
heaters are there to heat you and coolers are there to cool you
What can be used to reduce heat loss from an immersion heater?
you could insulate around the immersion :)
What are the benefits of convection heaters?
There are many benefits to using a convection heater. The first advantage is the fact that convection heaters heat faster than other heaters. Convection heaters also are much cheaper and heat a larger area.
Can tubular heaters be used to heat oil?
Tubular heaters are not specifically made for the purpose of heating oil. There are tubular heaters that use oil as a means of heating but they are not made to heat oil.
What type of heat travels through heaters?
thermal heat
