What is FILLED WITH MARROW AND HAS AIR SPACES TO MAKE IT LIGHT?
The answer is bones. Bones are filled with marrow and have air spaces to make them lighter in weight.
Are air pockets good insulation?
Air pockets can act as good insulation because they limit heat transfer by reducing the convection of air. Materials like foam, fiberglass, or double-pane windows utilize this principle to improve insulation in buildings and homes.
How do you make air a good insulator?
its difficult but you have to compress alot of it. over 50 psi should reduce sound of a rifle just be carefull not to shoot the supressor or it will explode. but if you are looking for heat insulation, all you have to do is lightly compress the air and then run hot air into it while the cooler air comes out for reheating. water is better for heat insulation :3
Why are duvets and lofts insulation good insulators?
Duvets and loft insulation are good insulators because they trap air within their layers, creating a barrier that helps reduce heat transfer. The air pockets in duvets and loft insulation act as a buffer, preventing heat from escaping and keeping the surrounding environment warmer. Additionally, the materials used in duvets and loft insulation are designed to be thermally efficient, further enhancing their insulating properties.
Insulation is a material that has lots of pockets of trapped air. Air is a good insulator without loft insulation the roof space is full of air so why does that not keep temperature stable?
The insulation is a better insulator than air is. Pockets are there to allow 'slow' airflow so the house breathes and keep the insulation from molding.Also the air only acts as an insulator if it is trapped. If free it moves around and loses it insulating ability. Air in your attic (loft) Does act like insulation, but a very poor one.The same principle is in your double pane storm windows. if one of the panes crack, or breaks, the insulating value of the window falls.
What type of heat transfer does adding insulation slow down?
Generally speaking, insulation slows the movement of thermal energy by convection. The dead air spaces in fiberglass insulation make it a good bet to put in walls and under roof spaces. Styrofoam coolers work because the many, many tiny air spaces in the styrofoam are places where air is trapped, and those are dead air spaces.
What is air good for?
for thermal insulation
How does polyurethane foam keep a house warm?
like any good insulation it has gazillions of microscopic dead air spaces that effectively block heat and cold transfer.
Is straw a good form of insulation?
Straw (the leftover stems of the wheat or other cereal grain after the grain is harvested) is not a particularly good insulation for a building. The idea of insulation is to create trapped air spaces, preferably lots of them. Since straw does not usually pack very well (except in a baler), it's difficult to force it to create the kind of trapped air that fiberglass batts, for example, will make. It's better than nothing, but not much. It also MUST be treated with a fireproofing chemical.

Is a sponge a good insulation?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
When is insulation in air ducts required?
Insulation in air ducts is required when they are located in unconditioned spaces, such as attics, crawl spaces, or outside the building's thermal envelope. Insulating these ducts helps minimize heat loss or gain, improving energy efficiency and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. Additionally, insulation may be necessary to prevent condensation in humid environments, which can lead to mold growth and damage. Building codes and energy efficiency standards often dictate specific insulation requirements for ductwork.

What is underfloor insulation?
Underfloor Insulation is an insulation system to stop the cold air beneath your floor and spreading through the floorboards making your home cold and uncomfortable. A timber floor is just on average around 19mm thick, this combined with possible air leakage, create a heat sink beneath your home, drawing the heat out from below.Good underfloor insulation can make a big difference to how comfortable your home is, and to the size of your energy bills. In homes with accessible underfloor spaces, it’s relatively cheap and easy to do.
How do the air spaces help the coconut to survive better in the environment?
Air spaces in coconuts help to provide buoyancy, allowing them to float and disperse to new locations for germination. These air spaces also provide insulation, helping to protect the inner seed from extreme temperatures and maintaining optimal conditions for growth. Additionally, the air spaces aid in nutrient transport within the coconut, supporting its survival and development.
What size air conditioner for 820 square feet?
A 1 1/2 ton a/c unit should handle 820 sq. ft. Make sure you have a good insulation value in the attic. At least 6" of insulation.
