HOW THE SHAPE OF THE BODY AFFECTS THE TEMPERATURE LOSS Introduction Small organisms have a surface area that is large enough‚ compared with their volume. As a results they lose heat rapidly when the environmental temperature is lower than their body temperature. However when the animal gets bigger their volume increases at a larger rate than their surface area‚ so the surface to volume ratio decreases. Adaptations help organisms to survive in their habitats. Adaptations can be structural‚ behavioral

Question 1: A 50 mm diameter‚ thin wall metal pipe covered by 25 mm thick layer of insulation (ki = 0.085 W/m.K) and carrying a superheated steam at atmospheric pressure is suspended from the ceiling of a large room. The steam temperature entering the pipe is 120 oC‚ and the air temperature is 20 oC. The overall heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m2.K. if the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s‚ at what point along the pipe will the steam begin condensing and

Kinetic Expressions (Kinetics) has been taking place at Berea College for 20 years. This year the team celebrated its 20th by revisiting a choreography that was performed at the first Kinetics and were very purposeful of who they allowed to choreograph in this production. This will be a critique of some of the dances performed; it will go into detail about each dance‚ analyze the movements and reveal the message. The opening act to Kinetics this year was the choreography that was performed at

Heat in physics is defined as energy in transit. It is symbolized with the alphabet Q. (Strong‚ Martin C. The Great Alternative and Indie Discography of Heat) It is mostly connected with different movements of atoms‚ molecules and other particles. These particles either consist of particles that are either hot or cold. High temperature bodies‚ are often caused due to the high heat transfer‚ which is created by chemical reactions‚ nuclear reactions‚ electromagnetic dissipation‚ or mechanical dissipation

During the Pleistocene epoch‚ or 1.8 million years to 10‚000 years ago‚ Homo floresiensis occupied the Liang Bua‚ a cave on Flores in eastern Indonesia. They were relatively small people‚ identical to modern-day dwarfs. But after researching recovered fossils of their bodies scientists realize there are distinct differences; one of these differences happens to be the foot of h. floresiensis. The size of the foot is unusually long compared to their tibia and femur. These proportions have never
