Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense

Electronic health records systems have considerably upgraded and has enriched the healthcare medical centers for good. Presently‚ my workplace at Kaiser uses the Epic system which has positively impacted the efficiency of documentation that provides more time for the nurses to give patient care. For example‚ when I first started nursing we were still charting on paper along with physicians writing down orders with very poor penmanship. Not only did it waste a lot of time away from patient care

THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS Thermal insulation materials are specifically designed to reduce the heat flow by limiting heat conduction‚ convection‚ radiation or all three while performing one or more of the following functions: The main function of insulation is to reduce the heat transfer‚ the insulation material must have the appropriate characteristic to slow down the transport of heat occurred by conduction‚ convection and radiation. Conduction loss in insulation is negligible. There are
