What is the purpose of the damper on forced hot water baseboard units?

The damper controls the air flow across the fin-tube. Depending on the heat-exchanging capacity of the tube, which is affected by things like system capacity, pipe size and condition, throttling valves, pump condition, etc., a damper more closed should exchange less heat into the space and a damper more open should exchange more heat into the space.


What is the tail fin of a fish called?

Those are the flippers, or 'pectoral' fins.


Does heat kill microorganisms?

usually it attracts more bacteria instead of killing them.Bacteria fin places that ange from 31 to 39 degrees celcius the best.An example would be the human body at 37 degrees celcius.the colder it get the less bacteria.Double doses dude!


What are the 5 types of fins?

caudal fin-the tail pectoral fin-the tail on the ventral side of the shark just above the pelvic fins pelvic fin- the underside fins that serve as the "arms" of the shark dorsal fin-the top fin that is usually seen on the surface of water in shark attacks


What is the difference between a marlin and a sailfish?

Both the Marlin and the Sailfish have a spined "fan" as their dorsal fin. The marlin's fin starts with a pointed ridge, then drops off as it travels toward the tail of the fish. (The fin resembles a Nike "swoosh") The sailfish's fin, on the other hand, has a high ridge in the MIDDLE of the fin, like a hump. If you were to use the fins to sail with, that of the sailfish would work much better, given the greater surface area. By the way, you didn't ask, but a swordfish has a pointed bill, but it has no "fan" on its dorsal fin. Hope this helps.

What is difference between fin effectiveness and fin efficiency and their significance?

effectiveness of a fin is the rate of heat transfered by the fin to the rate of heat transfered without the fin.By knowing the effectiveness we can determine how a fin increases the heat transfer rate when compared to the normal surface without a fin.Whereas by determining the efficiency of a fin we can know the heat transfering capacity of the fin material. both are ratio to heat transfer by fin but, in effectiveness we take base area of fin, other hand in fin efficiency we choose fin area except base area or area which contact with surrounding.


What is the definition on fin on a rocket?

The definition of fin on a rocket would be, a thin, protruding piece of metal whose function is to provide aerodynamic stabilization when the rocket is in flight.


What parts of a rocket help stabilize the rocket?

fin and tip (cone).


What is the difference between a long rocket fin and a short rocket fin?

A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.


In a rocket What is the purpose of a fin?

It helps stabilise the flight


What is the definition of fin on a rocket?

A fin on a rocket is a flat surface projecting from the body that helps stabilize the rocket's flight by providing aerodynamic forces to keep it on a desired trajectory. Fins increase stability by creating drag and preventing the rocket from spinning or veering off course during ascent.


Does the placement of the fin on a model rocket effit the flight time?

yes


Why use parallelogram fins for a rocket?

There the most aerodynamic of fin shapes.


How big must fins be to make a rocket stable?

The size of fins required for stability on a rocket depends on factors like the rocket size, speed, and desired stability. Generally, larger and more streamlined rockets may require smaller fins, while smaller and less streamlined rockets may need larger fins for stability. It's important to consider the rocket's center of gravity and center of pressure when determining the right fin size for stability. Testing and experimentation are often needed to find the optimal fin size for a specific rocket design.


What is the purpose of the fin on a rocket?

Possibly to produce stability or a semi-controlled flight (?)


What type of simple machine is a fin on a rocket?

A fin on a rocket acts as a stabilizer during flight by providing aerodynamic stability. It does not fit the traditional definition of a simple machine, as it does not perform mechanical work through movement or force multiplication.


What is the best fin size for a 2 liter bottle rocket?

There does not appear to be a "best" size. It depends on a number of factors, to include the bottle used (brand of drink & manufacturer), type of rocket, distance aiming for. One common element to consider is drag. Larger fins have greater surface and mass which will directly affect the altitude your rocket can reach.
