A temperature difference within the fluid and a gravitational force are necessary for a convection cell to be set up. The warmer fluid rises due to lower density, while the cooler fluid sinks due to higher density, creating a circular motion known as a convection cell.

Is a heater a conduction or convection?

Heater Is neither Conduction nor Convection... The Questions seems to be wrong... If you ask Whether the heat given by a heater is lost by conduction or Convection, then the answer is: YES! In a heater the heat is lost by all three processes namely Conduction , Convection and Radiation.


How is heat transferred through convention?

Heat transfer through convection occurs when a fluid, such as air or water, is heated and rises, carrying heat away from the source. As the fluid cools, it becomes denser and sinks, creating a circulating motion that transfers heat throughout the medium. This convection process helps distribute heat in a natural and efficient way.


What type of heat energy dose a telly give out radiation or convection or conduction?

Radiation, convection and conduction are not different types of energy, but different methods of conveying the energy. The heat energy from a television set will be conveyed mainly through conduction and convection, ie the casing will heat up through conduction and the air above the televison will become heated through convection. There will be heat transmitted by radiation, but this will quickly encounter air molecules which will then add to the convection effect.

How do you set up manometer?

To set up a manometer, first ensure that it is securely mounted in a vertical position. Fill the manometer with a fluid, typically mercury or water, making sure there are no air bubbles. Connect the manometer to the system you want to measure the pressure of, and then observe the height difference of the fluid levels in the manometer to determine the pressure.

What is necessary for a convection cell to be set up as a liquid?

For a convection cell to be set up in a liquid, the liquid must be heated unevenly, creating temperature variations. As the liquid near the heat source becomes warmer and less dense, it will rise, while the cooler, denser liquid will sink. This movement of fluid leads to a continuous circulation within the liquid, forming a convection cell.


What three factors set convection in motion?

The three factors that set convection currents in motion are: the heating and cooling of fluid, the change in it's density, and the force of gravity.


What three factors set convection currents in motion?

The three factors that set convection currents in motion are: the heating and cooling of fluid, change in its density, and the force of gravity combine to set it in motion.


What 3 factors set convection currents in motion?

the heating and cooling of fluid, changes in its density, and the force of gravity combine to set it in time


How of these combines with changes in a fluid's density and the force of gravity to set convection currents in motion?

Changes in a fluid's density create density differences within the fluid, which in turn lead to buoyancy forces. When subjected to gravity, these buoyancy forces cause the warmer, less dense fluid to rise and the cooler, denser fluid to sink, thus setting convection currents in motion. Together, these factors drive the circulation of fluids through the process of convection.


What 3 things set convection currents in motion?

The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.


What are convection currents responsible for?

Convection currents are responsible for the movement of heat (and mass) within a fluid system. Heat wants to go from where it is to where it isn't. When atoms and or molecules of a fluid (a gas or liquid, for example) are hotter then their companion particles, they are less dense and rise in the fluid. Cooler, more dense groups of atoms or molecules take their place. Convection currents are thus set up, and heat travels "around" the system via those currents. A link to the Wikipedia article on convection is provided.


The passing of heat though a liquid or gas is called?

Heat can move around through conduction, convection and radiation. You're probably referring to convection, since it relies on a fluid like a liquid or a gas in order for a convection current to be set up, but conduction or radiation are both also capable of passing heat through a liquid or gas.


How many sets of instructions are there in the nucleus of an egg cell or sperm cell?

There is only one set of instructions in the nucleus of an egg cell or a sperm cell. This set of instructions contains the genetic information necessary for the development of a new organism if fertilization occurs.


Is a kidney cell in G1 interphase diploid or haploid?

A kidney cell in G1 interphase is diploid, meaning it contains two sets of chromosomes (one set from each parent). This is because diploid cells have a complete set of chromosomes necessary for normal cell function and division.


What is a complete set of genetic instructions in a cell called?

Genome


Meiosis is necessary to produce?

Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is important to reproduce due to the sets of chromosomes in the cell.
