Why is a rag a better conductor of heat when wet than when dry?
A dry rag has quite a bit of air trapped in its structure, and air is an insulator of heat. Replace the air with water, which conducts heat much better than air does, and the heat conductivity will be greatly increased.
Is a wet blanket or a dry blanket a better heat conductor?
A wet blanket is a better heat conductor than a dry blanket because water is more conductive than air. The moisture in the wet blanket helps to transfer heat more efficiently from the body to the blanket.
Why is a clothes dryer an example of thermal energy?
A clothes dryer is an example of thermal energy because it uses heat to evaporate moisture from wet clothes, leading to their drying. The heat from the dryer helps increase the temperature of the clothes, causing the water molecules to change from liquid to gas state, and then venting out the moist air.
Is heat an example of matter?
Yes, heat is a form of energy and not an example of matter.
What is an example of a heat mover?
A refrigerator is an example of a heat mover.
What is the difference between wet heat disinfect and dry heat disinfect?
Dry heat is heat without humidity, and wet heat is heat with a lot of humidity.
Why you do shiver when you are wet?
Shivering when wet is the body's attempt to maintain body heat. A wet body loses heat quickly. Failing to maintain body heat will result in hypothermia.
What is the difference between a burn and a scald?
A burn is caused by dry heat whereas a scald is caused by wet heat. A burn can be caused by heat or cold, and this can be wet or dry. A scald is a burn caused by wet heat such as boiling water.
What is the difference between wet heat an dry heat systems?
Wet heat you get in a sauna bath where there is hot rocks and water is poured over to let steam into the air. Dry heat there is very little moisture in the air. Wet heat can feel hotter but can be easier to breathe in than dry heat.
What is the meaning of wet with heat?
Humid
Wet or dry organism lose heat quickly?
If organisms are wet they may tend to lose heat more quickly. The dry organism is more likely to such up the heat and maintain the heat within the organism.
How does wet heat disinfect?

What is an example of a wet cell?
A non-rechargeable wet cell battery.
How can a finger get wet when ice is in a cup?
the heat from your finger melts the ice and gets your finger wet.
Is spontaneous combustion a real thing?
Yes, the most common example is wet haystacks as they dry out. The wet hay ferments (similar to compost) causing it to heat up, but when the surface drys enough sometimes the surface ignites from this internal heat. This can be a major loss to a dairy farmer or a rancher. Piles of wet and/or oily rags can do the same for the same reason. This is a common cause of household and industrial fires.
What is an example of a primary wet cell?
A non-rechargeable wet cell battery.
What is an example of wet cell battery?
Most automotive batteries are wet cell.
