Convection
How do you install a thermostat downstairs when the original one is upstairs?
Snip the wires off close to the subbase so you`ll know which colors went where. Then snake the wire down to the new location and remount & wire it. In some cases it may be easier to run a new wire form the furnace in the basement up to the first floor rather than pull the existing one down from the second floor. Either way the procedure is the same. Just be sure if running a new wire that the new one has the same or more # of conductors in it.
Why are simple machines more efficient than compound machines?
They are less so eAsier
Why is copper more useful than iron for building?
Copper is more malleable and can be formed easier. However, it is much softer than iron and doesn't carry weight well. Copper is more corrosion resistant than iron is and oxidizes very slowly.
Is C really easier than Java Is Java more promising than C?
No and it is up to you to decide. (You asked two questions in one, so you got two answers in one.)
Do you do more work when you run upstairs than when you walk downstairs?
yes
Why did the women stay upstairs in a house in Nazareth?
They wanted to be there. Note: Upstairs, as is today, is more protected than downstairs where the entrance way of a home is.
The upstairs being warmer than the downstairs is an example of what?
Convection
Why is upstairs hot in the summer?
Because heat rises and obviously upstairs is higher than downstairs so the heat will rise to upstairs.
Choosing Between Upstairs and Downstairs Apartments?
Many of the newer apartment complexes are two-story buildings that have first and second floor units. There are some advantages and disadvantages to living either upstairs or downstairs.Easier to Get in and Out of Downstairs ApartmentsDownstairs apartments are ideal if you are not in any condition to climb stairs. It is easier to move in and out of a downstairs apartment. It is also easier to bring groceries and other items into your apartment when you don’t have to climb several stairs to get to your front door. The ease of accessibility makes downstairs apartments perfect for older individuals or people who have children that like to go in and out of the apartment often. Downstairs apartments are also a better choice if you have large furniture that will need to be brought in when you first move into your apartment.No Noise Above You in Upstairs ApartmentsOne of the biggest benefits of having an upstairs apartment is that you will never hear footsteps from your ceiling. Living downstairs can be a bit noisier, especially if the upstairs apartment houses small children who run around a lot. Upstairs apartment living feels more like you are in a private house because the noise from your neighbors is reduced to a minimum. As an upstairs neighbor you may get complaints from the apartment below you if you tend to walk heavily or make a lot of noise that could be carried through their ceiling.The Element of SafetyUpstairs and downstairs apartments each have their own share of security issues. A downstairs apartment can be more open to the parking lot and people who walk through the complex at all hours. When you live downstairs, you may feel like you need to keep your blinds drawn and windows closed more often. Downstairs apartments are easier to get out of if there is any structural damage to the property, however. In the case of severe storms or a fire, downstairs neighbors can leave the building far more quickly than upstairs neighbors. Each apartment has its own unique sense of security. It is up to you to decide where you feel the safest.
At what temperature should you keep your downstairs air to help cool the upstairs or does the downstairs air temperature have any effect on the upstairs if you have two central units?
I have two separate systems, one up and one down. The downstairs unit does nothing to cool the upstairs. It is probably because cold (heavy) air sinks and hot (light) air rises. To have any effect on the upstairs, you would need a very well insulated house with few windows, and you would have to make it extremely cool downstairs. Inversely, you can use your upstairs system to help cool your downstairs, for the reasons explained above. Since hot air rises, your upstairs system has a larger cooling capacity than your downstairs unit to take care of the larger demand.
The upstairs of a house being warmer than the downstairs is an example of heat transfer by?
convection. Heat from the lower floors rises, creating warmer temperatures upstairs.
Why water comes out slowly from an upstairs tap than a similar tap placed downstairs?
The pressure of water in the pipes is called the 'head of pressure' and it is the difference in level between the water surface height (above sea level) in the nearest reservoir to the height (above sea level) of your tap. This 'head' will be higher for a downstairs tap than an upstairs tap and therefore the pressure and water flow rate upstairs will be less than for downstairs.
Why water comes out more slowly from an upstairs tap than from a similar tap downstairs?
This is due to the gravitational force affecting the water flow. Water has to travel against gravity to reach the tap upstairs, resulting in a slower flow compared to the tap downstairs where water flows with gravity. Additionally, the length and diameter of the pipes can also affect the flow rate.
Why won't my upstairs AC unit cool?
Because hot air rises. As your A/C unit kicks out cool air, that cool air makes its way downstairs, while the warm air downstairs rises to the upstairs. You could try closing a door at the top of your stairway to prevent the downstairs warm air from making it upstairs. Or try cracking an upstairs window if it is located near the ceiling to let warm air escape outside. The brute force solution is to buy more A/C units. The most efficient solution is to spend more time downstairs than upstairs.
Should you stay inside upstairs during an earthquake?
During an earthquake, it is generally safer to stay inside and take cover rather than trying to run outside. However, if you are upstairs, it may be more difficult to find a safe spot, as upper floors can be more unstable during seismic activity. If possible, seek shelter under a sturdy piece of furniture or in a doorway until the shaking stops.
Why is it harder to cool the upstairs with an air conditioner?
It is harder to cool the upstairs with an air conditioner because hot air rises, causing the upstairs to be naturally warmer than the downstairs. Additionally, heat gain from the roof and windows in the upstairs area can make it more difficult for the air conditioner to maintain a consistent temperature. Poor insulation and air leakage in the upstairs can also contribute to the difficulty in cooling the space effectively.
