How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
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.
Within food chains energy is?
always being lostto the environment as heat
What electromagnetic energy from a heat source interacts with its environment it is being what?
When electromagnetic energy from a heat source interacts with its environment, it is being absorbed by the objects in the surroundings. This absorption causes the particles in the objects to gain energy, resulting in an increase in temperature.
How is heat transferred through the body?
Heat relies on the flow of a fluid to transport it from the object being cooled to the surrounding environment!
How does a radiator prevent heat?
A radiator gives off heat not prevents it.
How does different types of insulation work?
It prevents heat loss by trapping in the heat.
How does the outer case of a thermos flask prevents heat loss by?
The outer case of a thermos flask is usually made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as plastic or stainless steel. This helps to reduce heat transfer between the contents of the flask and the external environment, thereby minimizing heat loss or gain. Additionally, the vacuum insulation between the inner and outer layers of the flask further prevents heat transfer by convection and conduction.
Effect that prevents a planet's heat from escaping is what?
greenhouse
What substance prevents the escape of heat from a house?
Insulation.
Why flannels keep ice from melting in summer days but keeps us warm in winter nights?
Flannel prevents heat from flowing through it, from one side of it to the other side. Flannel around ice prevents the outside heat from flowing through the flannel and melting the ice. Flannel around a person prevents the heat generated by the person's body from flowing through the flannel and being lost to the outside. The operating principle is: What happens inside the flannel stays inside the flannel.
What are the advantages of loft insulation?
It prevents heat from the house escaping
