Research Questions:
1. What are the four types of heat transfer?
2. What are the functions of a refrigerator?
3. What are the definitions of each type of heat transfer?
4. Is ice-cold bath the best cooling device to cool a soda?
The goal of the project is to determine which type of cooling device will be effective in cooling a soda. In other words, the effect of cooling devices on soda cans. There will be four types of cooling devices used for the experiment. An ice-only bath with no water added, a freezer chamber, a refrigerator, and an ice-water bath with both ice and water added. This is the independent variables being tested, the four levels of cooling devices. The measuring of temperature in Celsius for Nestea canned sodas (12 oz), recording time, and describing the components of the experiment is the dependent variable. The qualitative variable is based on the description (such as appearance) of each cooling device, whereas the quantitative variable focuses on the measuring and recording the temperature as well as time of each cooling device. The constant starting room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) for the sodas, the same type of soda …show more content…
In solids, the molecules are vibrating due to little space. "Heat is a measure of the average molecular motion of matter." (Convection, Conduction, and Radiation). Heat is transferred from one object or matter to another by three types of methods: convection, conduction, and radiation. "Conduction is heat transfer by direct molecular interactions, without mass movement of matter" (Convection, Conduction, and Radiation). "Convection is heat transfer by mass movement" (Convection). "When molecules of a liquid vaporize, they escape from the liquid into the atmosphere" (Evaporation). This is the definition of evaporation. Radiation are Electromagnetic waves that directly transport ENERGY through
