How can heat transfer in liquids and gases be reduced?
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
How does fleece reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection?
it reflects the heat back
What can slow the movement of heat energy from a warmer object to a cooler object?
Transfer of heat can be slow down by increase insulation. For radiation heat transfer, colour coating could reduce rate of radiation in the same manner as insulation. Reduce surface area of heat transfer (or area of contact) can also reduce rate of heat transfer.
How does a thermos reduce heat transfer using convection?
A thermos reduces does not reduce heat transfer using convection, it reduces heat transfer BY convection. This is because there is a vacuum between the container of the liquid and the outer shell off the thermos. This means that no fluid will go round the inside conducting heat one way or the other. Hope this helped
How does a vacuum bottle keep food hot or cold?
The main idea is to reduce the heat transfer out of the vacuum bottle, or into it. A vacuum greatly reduces the transfer of heat by conduction and convection, while the mirror reduces heat transfer by radiation.
How can heat transfer in liquids and gases be reduced?
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
What are the most energy efficient windows available currently?
The most efficient windows are energy star rated. They also are triple glazed windows. It should also have a low e coating that will reduce heat transfer and heat loss.
How does fleece reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection?
it reflects the heat back
How can Builders reduce each type of heat transfer in a building?
By using less electric devices, and also by sealing up windows and doors properly. Also by containing polystyrene foam.
What is the most affective way to reduce heat loss in the home?
double glazing windows, no open windows
What can slow the movement of heat energy from a warmer object to a cooler object?
Transfer of heat can be slow down by increase insulation. For radiation heat transfer, colour coating could reduce rate of radiation in the same manner as insulation. Reduce surface area of heat transfer (or area of contact) can also reduce rate of heat transfer.
How does heat transfer through windows?
This depends on the source of heat, and whether it is tangible or not. The composition of the window can also determine the nature and rate of heat transference. If the house is burning down and you've got wooden windows, heat transfer will normally be caused by the flames burning the wood.

Ways to reduce the heat from a house?
Open windows and doors. Turning the heat off works too!!!
How does a vacuum bottle keep food hot or cold?
The main idea is to reduce the heat transfer out of the vacuum bottle, or into it. A vacuum greatly reduces the transfer of heat by conduction and convection, while the mirror reduces heat transfer by radiation.
Which type of heat transfer does an oven mitt reduce?
An oven mitt reduces heat transfer through conduction. Because oven mitts are usually made of materials that are poor conductors of heat, the transfer of heat from the hot object to your hand is reduced when wearing them.
What kind of heat transfer is a marshmallow over a bonfire?
A marshmallow over a bonfire is a radiant heat transfer. The marshmallows are not in direct contact with the flame but are held very close to reduce burning.
