Thermal Expansion happens a lot in everyday life. When something is heated and expands this is Thermal Expansion. The way Thermal Expansion works‚ is when it is heated the atoms expand‚ and then when it is cooled it shrinks. Several examples of Thermal Expansi Thermal Expansion happens a lot in everyday life.

1. Thermal inertia is a measure of the thermal mass and the velocity of the thermal wave which controls the surface temperature of a material. In heat transfer‚ a higher value of the volumetric heat capacity means a longer time for the system to reach equilibrium. 2. The ocean acts as a massive heat-retaining solar panel. 3. Salinity‚ temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater. 4. A pycnocline is the cline or layer where the density gradient (∂ρ⁄∂z) is greatest within a body of water

Experiment 4: Conductivity of electrolyte solutions (Dated: October 29‚ 2009) I. INTRODUCTION Pure water does not conduct electricity‚ but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound‚ which produces the ions as it dissolves‚ is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly‚ a weak electrolyte dissolves

THERMAL SENSITIVITY REPORT METHOD Measuring oxygen concentration: One glass vial was filled with 7-13 Artermia. After incubation‚ uncapped at 15oC for 5 minutes‚ the glass vial was sealed underwater and incubated again for another 5 minutes. After this 5-minute incubation‚ a reading of oxygen concentration was taken via a fibre-optic cable held onto a sensor spot on the vial. The vial was then returned to the incubation bath. The first reading represented time zero and subsequent readings

Lab #7: Thermal Energy Heat is thermal energy being transferred from one place to another‚ because of temperature changes. This can take place by three processes. These three processes are known as conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation. When we place two objects with different temperatures in contact with each other‚ the heat from the hotter object will immediately and automatically flow to the colder object. This is known as conduction. Some objects make excellent conductors of heat while
