Your body heat does not get transmitted away from your body as readily in a dry air environment. When water comes into contact with your skin, the thermal transfer characteristics of your body heat into the environment are greatly increased.

How thick a concrete wall would be needed to give the same insulating value as 3 and a half inches of fiberglass?
Poured concrete has an R value of about 0.08/inch. Fiberglass batt has an R value of about 3.14/inch (blown fiberglass wall insulation is about 3.2/inch). From these values we can calculate that the equivalent insulating thickness of concrete would be about 3.5x3.14/0.08 = 137.4 inches. Note that concrete blocks have a somewhat better insulating value due to the incorporated air pockets. A 4" concrete block has an R value of about 0.2/inch An 8" concrete block has an R value of about 0.15/inch A 12" concrete block has an R value of about 0.1/inch
What are the properties and uses of steel?
Properties of steel Strength (tensile, bending, compression) Hardness Elasticity Corrosion Resistance Conductivity (electrical and heat) Heat capacity Factual toughness Steel is generally used in bearing applications where low expense and high strength are needed but weight is not so important: Buildings Cars Ships Machines of all types Weapons
What are properties of alloys needed for a hip replacement material?
Usually a tantalum (Ta) or titanium (Ti) coating is used on a stronger metal like steel

What properties are needed to reflect light?
Electrons in a conduction band.
Why don't engineers design rubber briges?
Rubber does not have the correct properties needed.
Why sampling needed?
Sampling is needed in order to determine the properties of a distribution or a population. Sampling allows the scientist to determine the variance in an estimate.
What properties are needed for the metal grill?

Where can I get a list of rental properties for a small business, in the Chicago area?
If you go to http://www.cityfeet.com/chicagotribune/ and type in all the information needed it will give you a list of small business rental properties.
What are the chemical properties of concrete?
Concrete's properties are primarily engineering or strength virtues. Chemical properties apply where chemical resistance is needed. Concrete is a complex mixture of Calcium silicates, carbonates, and sulphates. As such it is easily attacked by acids, even quite weak ones.
Why it was needed to develop the periodic table?
The elements with same properties need to be grouped together. So that it is easier to study the elements
