How does the base of the iron which is made of wood helps or prevents heat flow?
Katienegus3
Wood is an insulator so irons are not made from wood! Their handles may be though, so you can use it without burning your hand.

What do conductors and insulators do?
Conductors transmit, while insulators don't. Usually, they transmit electricity and/or heat. Usually, they poorly transmit electricity and/or heat (insulators). Usually, the classification by electricity or by heat is highly corrected.
When Flow of heat by direct contact is known as?
False... The flow of heat through direct contact is conduction.
Why is it important to know heat can move?
The proper flow of heat is essential to many process and situations. Flow of too much heat from a person may cause hypothermia and death. Inadequate flow of heat from a person in the Summer may lead to heat stroke and death. Many processes require cooling and/or heating by heat flow. Inadequate heat transfer may limit a process or require shutdown of a process.
How can you save thermel energy?
Insulation prevents heat from escaping.
How does a flask know whether to keep the drink hot or cold?
An insulating container prevents heat-flow through its walls ... in either direction. Its job is to keep the drink at the same temperature it was when you poured it into the flask. It doesn't need to "know" anything in order to do that. It only needs to stop heat from getting past the boundary.
Why grill with the top closed?
* It helps retain heat, cooking more thoroughly. * It helps retain smoke, which helps flavor and cook the meat. * It prevents flare ups. * It prevents dogs from stealing the food. * It prevents birds from dropping things on the food.
What are the effects of the electrode polarity on welding in the SAW process?
Think of Polarity as water flow in a pipe. Reverse Polarity means the flow is from the work to the machine. Straight Polarity is flow from the machine to the work. Heat is released when the flow tries to jump the gap. So in Reverse Polarity (where most SMAW is done) the heat builds up in the base metal which is usually thicker than the Electrode. The extra heat there helps melt the base metal. Straight polarity is usually employed when welding thin metals.
How does heat help muscles?
The heat causes the circulatory system to "open up", increasing blood flow to the warmed muscles. The increased blood flow helps bring nutrients to the muscles and helps remove waste.
What is Fin efficiency?
actual heat flow rate/ideal heat flow rate if the whole fin was the same temperature as the base of the fins This applies to finned surfaces usually in heat exchangers
A thermos bottle has a shiny interior What type of heat transfer does it prevent?
It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.
What generates heat that helps maintain proper body temperature in newborn infants?
blood flow.
Does a plastic kettle handle prevent or helps heat flow?
Plastic is a good insulator of heat, meaning heat can't flow through it very well. So a plastic handle on a kettle doesn't conduct heat through it and this means you don't get burnt when handling it.
What do conductors and insulators do?
Conductors transmit, while insulators don't. Usually, they transmit electricity and/or heat. Usually, they poorly transmit electricity and/or heat (insulators). Usually, the classification by electricity or by heat is highly corrected.
Is body heat convection heat?
Yep, the heat is transferred via convection when fluid flow is involved, which is primarily blood flow. For example, you hands are cold, then warm blood flow helps to warm them up. That's convection. Sure conduction is also involved. When heat must pass solid barrier such as cell walls then the heat is transferred via conduction.
How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
How the rate of heat transfer is reduced?
rate of heat transfer between two bodies can be reduced by providing insulation between the two. e.g. As in thermos flask. where the insulation prevents heat flow from liquid/tea stored inside the flask to outside atmosphere
How does a radiator prevent heat?
A radiator gives off heat not prevents it.
