If you turn up the thermostat does it get to the desired temperature more quickly?

Sometimes. Some thermostats do not affect the rate of heating, only the point at which the heating will stop or be continued - in this case, turning it up won't change how long it takes. In some, the heating is adjusted to reach the desired temperature within a similar amount of time regardless of what it is - in that case, turning it up and then down again will make it heat up quicker than simply setting the dial.

Why does a hot cup cool down more quickly from 80degrees-60degrees than 60degrees-40degrees?
Since temperature falls off exponentially, the temperature falls quickly initially and then at a slower rate.
How does a bimetallic strip works in a thermostat?
The switch contains a sandwich strip of 2 metals with two different coefficients of thermal expansion. The dial you would turn to control the temperature modifies the resistance of the circuit - thus current (or would be set digitally nowadays). When the desired temperature has been reached, one of the metals stretches more than the other. The metal sandwich curls, thus disconnecting the contact of the switch.
How your body is cooled when you prespire?
When your hypothalamus -- an area of your brain that acts as a thermostat -- senses either a rise or fall in body temperature, it takes action to protect your body. With increases in core body temperature, your hypothalamus directs more of your blood flow to the skin and signals the body to start sweating.
Do reflexes happen more quickly or slowly than considered responses?
More quickly
What is the function of thermostat in refrigerator?
The thermostat senses the actual temperature in the fridge and compares it to the desired temperature (which the user sets on a dial), if the actual is above the desired it signals the compressor motor to run until the desired temperature is reached, when it stops the motor.
How can the thermostat detect the heat from the appliances?
A thermostat is a temperature sensitive device incorporating a switch, when the ambient temperature reaches a desired level (usually adjustable) it switches the appliance off, and then switches it back on when the temperature drops. The thermostat probably works with a bimetallic strip which bends with temperature changes, more modern ones are electronic.
What happens if you leave out the themostat on your 1990 camaro?
The thermostat is to help the motor warm up more quickly and run better. Without the thermostat installed the motor may not reach normal temperature in very cold weather.

How does the thermostat affect fuel efficiency?
Your engine will get the best mileage at full operating temperature. If the thermostat is removed or too low a temperature unit the engine will use more fuel.
What is needed to measure the temperature of an oven?
A thermostat or more carefully with a thermometer.
How do you know if the thermostat needs to be replaced on a 2003 Pontiac Montana?
Two symptoms of faulty thermostat which would more than likely require replacement of same: (1) engine overheats quickly (2) engine takes too long or doesn't reach normal operating temperature
Do hydrogen bonds form more quickly in higher temperatures?
All bond will break at high temperature; in another word, bond will not form more quickly in higher temperature but instead it form at low temperature.
What will the engine do if the thermostat in the vehicles engine stuck open?
It will run cooler, be inefficient and wear more quickly.
How do you fringe jean shorts quickly?
wash them, wash them and wash them some more until you get the desired effect
Do you need a thermostat seal if you have no thermostat?
if you mean the gasket between the thermostat housing and the hose connection bell yes you do but you should use a thermostat to keep the engine at constant operating temperature for which it was designed it will run more efficiently and last longer
