What is the mist you see from ice?

Water vapor. Heat flows from where it is hot to where it is not - that's basic thermodynamics. Thus, when you place ice in ambient air, the heat from the ambient air is going to transfer to that ice, and this sudden input of heat will cause the outer layer to undergo a rapid change of state.


What is the affect of ambient temperature on the transfomer efficiency?

Ambient temperature affects transformer efficiency by influencing the cooling of the transformer. Higher ambient temperatures can reduce the transformer's ability to dissipate heat, leading to decreased efficiency. It is important to consider ambient temperature when designing and operating transformers to ensure optimal performance.


Will a higher ambient temperature help a heat sink work better?

It depends on what you're doing, but typically no. If you're trying to cool something, such as a processor in a computer, or the engine on a car, the lower the ambient temperature, the better the heat sink works. If you're trying to heat something (I don't know of an example off-hand, but you could potentially dip the heat sink in a hot liquid and use it to keep something warm without getting it wet, as a made-up example), you want the ambient temperature to be as high as possible. Obviously, there are limitations, so you don't want to freeze stuff too cold, or heat stuff too hot, but in general, a lower ambient temperature helps keep stuff cold, and a higher ambient temperature helps keep stuff hot.


How do you get ambient temp?

To measure ambient temperature, you can use a thermometer or a temperature sensor placed in the area you want to monitor. It's important to place the sensor away from direct sunlight or sources of heat to get an accurate reading. Ambient temperature is the surrounding temperature of a specific environment.


What happens to usable energy?

In any transfer of energy or conversion of energy from one form to another, the total amount of energy does not change. The total amount of usable energy, however, always decreases.

When heat dissipates into the environment is it no longer usable?

When heat dissipates into the environment, it is not typically considered usable in the same way as other forms of energy like electricity. While it can be harnessed in some cases, it generally represents a loss of usable energy in a system due to the second law of thermodynamics.

Is lead hot?

Unless external heat is added lead remains at ambient temperature.


What is the efficiency of an engine when the heat input is 200000 joules and the waste heat is 150000joules?

Out of the 200KJ input, 150KJ isn't usable. The only usable output of themachine is the remaining 50KJ.The efficiency of that machine is 50KJ/200KJ = 25% .It must be pointed out, though, that it all depends on your definition of what isusable and non-usable output. For example, if this machine were labeled as an"Office Space Heater", then the 150KJ of heat would be the usable output, andthe efficiency would have been 75% .

Is the ambient temperature in a 1300 petrol engine high or low?

The ambient temperature in this case refers to the temperature outside the engine. This is relevant for calculations related to heat engine. The ambient temperature will of course vary, but it is usually somewhere around 300 K.


Describe how the energy changes from a usable form to a less usable form in a building's heating system?

While producing heat energy is precisely the purpose of a heating system, once any kind of energy is converted into heat, it can no longer be converted back to other forms of energy - at least, not all of it.


Is a heat sensory better than a motion snesor?

Heat sensors are good but can give false positives if there is a sudden change in ambient temperature.
