What else can I help you with?
Some molecules are able to absorb large amounts of energy in the form of internal vibrations and rotations Materials composed of such molecules have?
high heat capacity and can absorb more thermal energy before their temperature increases significantly. This property can be useful in applications such as insulation or thermal energy storage.
Does thermal energy need to be conserved?
Yes, thermal energy can be conserved in a system through processes like insulation or heat exchange. However, thermal energy can also be transformed into other forms of energy or lost to the surroundings, so conservation of thermal energy is not always guaranteed.
What is the approximate total embodied energy of 1 pound of polystyrene thermal insulation?
The embodied energy of 1 pound of polystyrene thermal insulation is approximately 300-400 megajoules. This takes into account the energy used in extracting raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, and disposal of the product.
Is thermal energy hard to store?
Thermal energy can be challenging to store efficiently due to issues with heat loss and the need for proper insulation. However, advances in technology such as thermal energy storage systems using materials like molten salts or phase change materials are making it easier to store thermal energy effectively.
What does the rate of thermal energy transfer depend on?
The rate of thermal energy transfer depends on factors such as the temperature difference between the objects, the material properties of the objects, and the surface area of contact between the objects. Additionally, the presence of insulation or thermal conductors can also affect the rate of thermal energy transfer.
What is thermal insulate?
Thermal insulation is the insulation that blocks heat or cold. Actaully thermal insulation like your jacket or sweater, it helps you keep energy in winter
What are five types of insulators?
Question should be clear For Thermal insulation,Electrical insulation,energy insulation vision insulation.
Where can one find information on thermal insulation?
One can find information on thermal insulation from Insulate, Government site called Energywise, Energy Star, British Gas and Energy websites. Thermal insulation is used to reduce heat transfer from one object to the other.
What has the author H P Garg written?
H. P. Garg has written: 'Solar Thermal Energy' 'Solar thermal energy storage' -- subject(s): Heat storage, Solar thermal energy
How is thermal energy transferred through insulation?
through your mom
What type of molecule do whales use for energy storage and insulation?
Whales use fat or lipid molecules for energy and insulation.
What are the alternatives to batteries for energy storage?
Some alternatives to batteries for energy storage include supercapacitors, flywheels, pumped hydro storage, compressed air energy storage, and thermal energy storage.
What keeps thermal energy from escaping through the roof?
Insulation and reflection.
What type of molecule stores energy and provides thermal insulation for the body?
Lipids, specifically triglycerides, are molecules that store energy and provide thermal insulation for the body. They are stored in adipose tissue and serve as a major source of energy in the body.
Some molecules are able to absorb large amounts of energy in the form of internal vibrations and rotations Materials composed of such molecules have?
high heat capacity and can absorb more thermal energy before their temperature increases significantly. This property can be useful in applications such as insulation or thermal energy storage.
What functions does bludder serve for a whale?
Insulation and fat storage for energy.
Is Insulation is needed to prevent the unwanted transfer of thermal energy into or out of a building?
Yes.
