What if your hand gets cold after holding a glass of iced tea. This is an example of heat transfer through?
It is because the heat is driven out of your hand. That's the simplest I can put it.
What is convection in physical science?
Convection is when water warms and expands. As the heated water expands, it rises because when a substance is hotter, it is also less dense. When the hotter and lighter water rises and reaches its maximum height, it is the farthest away from its heat source. It is then cooled and becomes more dense, sinking back down towards it's original location. It is usually related to liquids.
What is the difference between convection and convection currents?
Convection is the mode of heat transfer, referring to the transfer of heat energy due to bulk motion of a fluid."Convection current" is the name of that bulk motion of the fluid, the transfer of MASS. I prefer to call it buoyantly driven flow. It doesn't flow due to convection, convection is due to if flowing. It flows due to buoyancy in the case of free convection.Peyton
Is a heater a conduction or convection?
Heater Is neither Conduction nor Convection... The Questions seems to be wrong... If you ask Whether the heat given by a heater is lost by conduction or Convection, then the answer is: YES! In a heater the heat is lost by all three processes namely Conduction , Convection and Radiation.
How does radiant heating system work?
There are many different ways to use radiant energy to heat your home including radiant flooring, radiant electric heating, radiant tiles... The site in the related links has tons of information on radiant heating. Technically, "radiant" heating is used to distinguish from "forced air" systems. In a radiant system the radiant elements emit heat and in an forced-air system the furnace heats air, which is then moved to where the heat is needed. A radiant system can be electrical, hyrdonic or steam-driven. For instance, a hydronic boiler heats water to about 180 degrees and uses circulators (forced hot water) to move the heated water to a finned-tube, floor-tubing, wall-tubing, or cast-iron radiator, heating the radiator, radiating heat into the room. The cooled water then flows back to the boiler to be heated again.
What is the engine that drives atmospheric circulation?
The engine that drives atmospheric circulation is the sun - which provides the energy for the circulation.
Where do thunderstorms appear in Britain?
As thunderstorms are transient atmospheric phenomena, they can occure anywhere in Britain driven by the prevaling atmospheic circulation.
Thermohaline circulation is driven by changes in?
The thermohaline circulation is driven by surface heat (insolaration) and freshwater flows. These change the density of the ocean's water and gravity does the work.
What process is driven by earth's solar energy?
ocean circulation
Surface ocean circulation is also called thermohaline circulation?
Thermohaline circulation is also called overturning circulation. It is driven by density. The time scale for thermohaine is 1000 years.
Which type of flow works in opposition to Ekman transport in a gyre?
Gravity driven circulation
What process is driven by the transfer of energy?
That can be said about basically any process.
What do you call deep ocean circulation driven largely by variations in water temperature and salinity?
thermohaline
Can a car be driven with a broken heating coil?
NO, man what collage did u go to, stupid r us
Find the mass of water driven off when 1.252g of strontium chloride hexahydrate is decomposed by heating?
0.5077g
How does the transfer case on a 1990 jeep work are they chain driven or gear?
chain drive
What has the author Allan R Robinson written?
