Because of people being bloody idiots and killing each other with knives and guns!


What is thermal admittance?

This is the rate of flow of heat between the internal surfaces of the structure and the environmental temperature in the space, for each degree of deviation of that temperature about its mean value.


How long does it take to increase one degree Celsius in temperature?

That depends on the material or substance or object being heated, the heat source, the current temperature of each, the specific heat capacities of each, and several other factors. There is no rate that works in general.


Why potential temperature increases with height?

No, if you are referring to height above sea level, then it is the opposite way around. Approximately, for every 100m above sea level you go, the temperature drops around 0.7-1 degree celcius.


What is the difference between Fahrenheit and celsius temperature scale?

Fahrenheit and Celsius scales both measure temperature in "degrees", but the value of a "degree" is different in the two scales. This is because the numerical values for the same temperature are different in each scale. The Fahrenheit scale establishes the freezing and boiling points of water at 32 °F and 212 °F , while the Celsius scale lists these temperatures as 0°C and 100 °C. So a degree Fahrenheit is smaller, only 5/9 as large as a degree Celsius. 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees cover the same temperature scale as 1 Celsius degree. When a very high temperature is expressed in degrees C, it is 1.8 times as hot in Fahrenheit.

What is the greater degree associates or bachelor?

I would not say one is greater than the other. Each serve a purpose. However, a bachelor's degree is a higher level degree. Typically, from lowest level to highest level the order would be as indicated below. * Associate's degree * Bachelor's degree * Master's degree * Doctorate degree

How does a heating or cooling degree day calculate?

Heating degree day:For each regular temperature measurement in a day write down 0 iftemperature is above heating-balance-temperature. Otherwise write down the difference between balance-temperature and air-temperature. Degree days is the average of all the numbers written down.Cooling degree day:For each regular temperature measurement in a day write down 0 iftemperature is below cooling-balance-temperature. Otherwise write down the difference between balance-temperature and air-temperature. Degree days is the average of all the numbers written down.


If a cup of water of temperature 50 degree celsius is mixed with another cup of water of temperature 50 degree celsius the final temperature of the two combined cups of water will be 100 degree?

No, as both the temperatures are the same, you will get only 2 cups, each 50 degrees. You have to heat the cup to get 100 degree.


Is a certificate considered a degree?

No it is not. The certificate does not meet the requirements of a degree. In terms of level of education, read the below. * certificate program * diploma program * associates degree * bachelor's degree * master's degree * doctorate degree (highest level of educational attainment) Each of the above has its own purpose and place.
