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.
What is heat absorption and loss?
heat gain is when an object get hotter. heat loss is when an object gets colder.
Is melting heat gain or heat loss?
Heat gain, otherwise, a heat loss would be like turning off the heat beneath a saucepan on the stove.
What is the difference between heat gain and heat loss?
These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.
What is insensible heat?
Also Latent Heat Loss. The heat that is lost through the continuous, unnoticed water loss that occurs with vaporization accounting for 10% of basal heat production. Evaporation accounts for the greatest heat loss when body head increases.. Does not result in temperature increase of surrounding air.
Why don't birds experience piloerection?
Birds also experience piloerection. Piloerection is the process by which mammals get goosebumps from cold weather or excitement or fear. Birds do have the same reflex of extending their feathers out, a function of keeping themselves warm. See here the Related Links for more information.
How surface area affects heat loss?
Increasing the Surface Area increases the heat loss. You will find a nice example in the related question link below.
Is heat gain related to atmospheric temperature?
It can be, but so also is heat loss - for a hot body like a radiator.
What is piloerection?
Piloerection: the involuntary erection of hairs, as a result of a number of things such as anger, fear, stress, lowered body temp (feeling cold), etc
Is precipitation heat loss or heat gain?
heat loss
What does the word piloerection mean?
Hair standing on end.

How does the thickness of loft insulation affect heat loss?
the thicker the insulation is then there will be less heat loss. The material also affects heat loss
What is heat absorption and loss?
heat gain is when an object get hotter. heat loss is when an object gets colder.
How the surface area affects heat loss?
Heat loss of water: The surface area effects the the rate of heat loss because the rate of heat loss increases if the surface are is higher. How: The water is spread out into a bigger space meaning the
Is melting heat gain or heat loss?
Heat gain, otherwise, a heat loss would be like turning off the heat beneath a saucepan on the stove.
What is the scientific term for erection of hair?
The scientific term for erection of hair is piloerection. This occurs when the erector muscles attached to hair follicles contract, causing the hair to stand up. It is commonly known as "goosebumps" or "horripilation."
