The main cause for temperature variations inside shipping containers seems to

be direct solar radiation because it can heat the inside of the container to temperatures

of up to 30±C above ambient. Therefore, protection of the container

from direct sun light is crucial. If the container is stored below deck during the

sea voyage, the temperature stays inside a benign range even without any additional

protection.

If the temperature inside a house is 25 degrees Celsius and the outside temperature is -6 degrees Celsius how much higher is the temperature inside the house?

The temperature inside the house is 31 degrees higher than the outside temperature.


Why do soft drinks sweat more in summer than winter?

First of all, the 'sweat' on a cold drink container is condensation. Condensation occurs when there is sufficient humidity in the air, and that air is cooled below the dew point. This is exactly what happens with a cold drink container in the summer. In summer there is usually fairly high humidity, but even more important, that moisture is warm, and is easily cooled (by the cold drink container) to a temperature that is below the dew point, and . . . . . water droplets begin to collect on the container's surface. Once the container warms to a temperature above the dew point, you will see the 'sweat' is gone.


What is the temperature 1400 meters above sea level?

The temperature decreases by about 6.4 degrees Celsius for every 1000 meters increase in altitude. Therefore, at 1400 meters above sea level, the temperature is estimated to be about 9 degrees Celsius cooler than at sea level.


What is earths average temperature at sea level?

The average temperature at sea level on Earth is around 15 degrees Celsius or 59 degrees Fahrenheit.


Why do you think the glass measuring cycle of the rain gauge is inside an outer container?

The glass measuring cylinder is typically placed inside an outer container in a rain gauge to provide protection from external elements like wind and debris, which could affect the accuracy of the measurement. Additionally, the outer container helps to create a more stable environment for collecting rainwater and reduces evaporation.

What will you observe about the temperature of a fixed amount of air inside a rigid container if the pressure inside decreases?

If the pressure inside the container decreases, the temperature of the air inside will also decrease. This is known as Charles's Law, which states that as the pressure of a gas decreases, its temperature decreases as well, assuming the volume stays constant.


What do you think causes the difference in the hotness or coldness of water inside the container?

the temperature


How do conditions change inside a rigid container when you use a pump to add gas to the container?

When gas is added to a rigid container using a pump, the pressure inside the container will increase due to the increase in the number of gas molecules colliding with the container walls. The temperature inside the container may also increase slightly due to the compression of the gas. The volume of the gas in the container will remain constant since the container is rigid and unable to expand.


Why would a sealed container of air be crushed after being frozen?

A sealed container of air would be crushed after being frozen because as the pressure decreases, the temperature also decreases. The air molecules inside of the sealed container shrink when it is frozen. The colder the air, the lower the temperature.


When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?

No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.


Why an elevated temperature increases the pressure exerted to the inside of container?

In a closed system the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature (Gay-Lussac law).At higher temperature the volume tend to increase but in a container the volume is limited.


What is the pressure inside of a container when nitrogen gas is added?

What causes the difference on hotness or coldness of the water inside the container?

The difference in hotness or coldness of water inside a container is primarily caused by the temperature of the water and the surrounding environment. Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation, affecting the water's temperature. Additionally, factors such as the material of the container, the initial temperature of the water, and the duration of exposure to heat or cold sources play a significant role in determining the final temperature.


Why will a container of gas explode when heated?

Increasing the number of moles of gas, decreasing the volume of the container, or iIncreasing the temperature could cause a rigid container of gas to explode.


What change will not affect the pressure in a container?

Changing the color of the container will not affect the pressure inside it. Pressure is determined by factors such as temperature, volume, and the number of gas molecules present, not by the container's color.


Can a sea shipping container be made into a Faraday cage?

Yes, a sea shipping container can be transformed into a Faraday cage by lining the inside with a conductive material such as copper or aluminum. This will effectively block external electromagnetic signals from penetrating the container, making it suitable for protecting sensitive equipment or electronics from interference.
