Investigation of how Changing the Volume of Water in a Container Affects Its Rate of Heat Loss Aim : To investigate how changing the volume of water in a container affects its rate of its heat loss. The variable of this investigation is the volume of water which is put in the container. What I already know: I already know that the larger the volume of water there is the less heat loss occurs. I can tell this from my previous pilot experiment where I investigated‚ if the volume of water

Did you know that one day in the past the continents were connected with each other? Continental drift states that the continents that we know today were once one large landmass called‚ Pangea. Many people argue with the theory about the continental drift‚ because no one yet has proven to the theory’s idea. Many people have been trying to find ways of how the continental drift could have happen‚ by researching objects from the past. This gave scientist or people another point of view about the continental

6. Applications * Is it possible to add heat to a body without changing its temperature? Yes. It is possible to add energy to a body (in the form of heat) and not raise its temperature by causing a phase change. When you heat ice it takes energy to convert it from ice to water‚ but does not change the temperature of the body until it is all converted. The principle behind this is what we call latent heat. It refers to the energy (or heat) required to change the state of a substance without changing

geological structure of the Earth. The earth’s crust is made up of seven major plates and a number of minor plates. The plates move because of the convection currents in the mantle caused by temperature differences within the mantle‚ leading to volcanoes and earthquakes‚ the world’s major geophysical hazards. The movement of plates due to convection currents results in a variety of types of plate boundary‚ each of which gives rise to particular types of hazards. Constructive boundaries occur

Unit 1 This scheme of work suggests possible teaching and learning activities for each section of the specification. There are far more activities suggested than it would be possible to teach. It is intended that teachers should select activities appropriate to their candidates and the curriculum time available. The first two columns summarise the specification references‚ whilst the Learning Outcomes indicate what most candidates should be able to achieve after the work is completed. The Resources

Summary The topic investigated in this report is heat transfer in a concentric tube heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a colder fluid. Heat exchangers are widely used in the petroleum industry for various reasons. Some of the most important reasons are theta heat exchangers increase the process efficiency‚ conserve energy‚ reduce maintenance and provide employee safety among many other reasons. The main objectives of the lab study were to determine

ocean is what gives us our weather and climate which is known as Atmospheric Circulation/Convection (ETAP‚ 2012). Mechanisms that produce high precipitation in the tropics and temperate latitudes and low precipitation in the tropics The meeting of warm and humid air at the inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) from both hemispheres brought by trade winds and the subsequent rise of the air (convection) in the atmosphere. Near the equator‚ from about 5° north and 5° south‚ the northeast

adaptation to varying climatic conditions includes both physiological mechanisms as a byproduct of evolution‚ and the conscious development of cultural adaptations (Harrison et al.‚ 1988; Weiss and Mann‚ 1985). There are four avenues of heat loss: convection‚ conduction‚ radiation‚ and evaporation (Wikipedia‚ 2012). If skin temperature is greater than that of the surroundings‚ the body can lose heat by radiation and conduction. But if
