What is a convector?
A heat exchange device that uses the heat in steam, hot water, or an electric resistance element to warm the air in a room; often called inaccurately, a radiator. Essentially, it's a space heater that transfers heat to the surrounding air by convection. And, just as an interesting side fact, in Roman mythology, the god Convector oversaw the bringing in of the crops from the fields.
Copper wire is an example of what?
A Reddish metal, a good conductor of electricity and heat, ductility, tensile strength, malleability, and good, clean fun!
What are possible causes of laminar flow in a convector pipe of a radiant panel system?
The cause can be easily found by checking Hazen -williams formula's
Is concrete a good heat insulator?
yes
Is nylon a good insulator of heat?
yes
Transfer of heat by the flow of heated material?
Convection oven is an example. A convector is a general name for something that transfers heat by convection.
Which type of motor is used in heat convector?
The fan in a convector is usually a single-phase induction motor.
Why is air is bad conductor?
Condution of heat is due to transfer of heat energy in the form of vibrational energy getting passed through. But in air atoms or molecues are not rigid and they move at random. So conduction is not possible but air is good convector. Same way water too is a bad coductor but a good convector of heat.
Why is A radiator is not a good name for a heater of that name because?
this is because the major heat transfer in it, is convection.and it is better to name it convector.
Why do air spaces make good insulation?
Because air may be a fine convector, but it's a relatively poor conductor of heat.
Why the sand warms up quicker than the water?
Water is a good convector of heat so as the surface warms, the heat is passes to the lower portions of water. Sand does not convect or conduct heat well so the surface gets hot fast as the sun shines on it
When was The Toynbee Convector created?
The Toynbee Convector was created in 1984-01.

Why are too thin blankets more than twice as good as one?
Because air in between them would be a bad conductor and so heat conduction is terribly affected. Though air is a good convector the heat transferred due to conduction is more compared to that of convection. So two blankets are advisable.
Where can you get a good type of fan convector around 9to12 kw and not to big in size?
Try Grainger.
Why are air and water bad conductors of heat?
Open air molecules are far too disperse from one another to conduct heat efficiently. Heat is conducted by molecules and atoms that are very closely bonded together and vibrating at high frequencies. Open air is just not dense enough. If it were, you'd find it very hard to breathe.
