How can you preserve heat?

transfer heat to oil or water and keep it in insulated container


How does temperature affect the rate of heat transfer?

For conductive and convective heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the the temperature difference; if you double the difference you will double the rate of heat transfer. For radiative heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the difference of the 4th powers of the absolute temperatures.


Does the material of a container determine how much heat is transferred?

It depends on the thermal energy, by knowing how much heat is being transferred. Also, it does depend on the type of container. If you have a plastic container or foam container, the heat will not transfer as fast as it would if the heat was in a glass container. Or instead of using the word heat you can refer to that word as a candle giving off heat if placed in any type of container to perform the science experiment.


Does gas have volume and shape?

The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.


Does temperature difference does not affect heat transfer rate?

yes


How does heat affect alcohol?

In an open container, it causes it to evaporate. In a closed container, heat has no effect on the alcohol itself, but it can result in some really skunky beer.


What is the volume and the shape of liquids?

The volume of a sample of liquid is fixed, but may expand or contract with heat. The shape of a liquid is defined by its container. In the absence of gravity, liquids outside a container will assume a generally spherical shape.


How does the shape of the container affect the freezing rate of water?

The amount of water in a container will affect how fast it heats up. If there is a small amount of water in a container the water will biol/heat faster. However, if there is a big amount of water it will take longer for the heat to reach all parts of the water resulting in a longer time for the water to boil/heat


Transfer of heat by hot liquids and gases?

Convection is the transfer with in the fluid. If a container of hot liquid is touching something then it is conduction. If the heat is travelling through the air then it is radiation.

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
