For the last two weeks we have talked about heat, temperature, and types of heat transfer. For this week's blog, I want you to make observations of the world around you and give an example of a type of heat transfer that happens in your everyday life. Make sure you give a description of the heat transfer that is occurring as well as what type of heat transfer it is. Your example must be original and not copied from someone else's post. Remember, for full credit you need to include one original comment as well as comment on at least one other person's post.
As always keep it clean and have a great week:)
If you have trouble blogging then send your blog post to my email through the Aldine website.
An everyday day thing is the weather. Convection is what makes the change in temperature.
ReplyDeleteThe weather now and days is crazy, but your example is true! :)
Deletegood example. It makes me think of tornadoes. Don't they form when both warm and cold air meet? or what am I thinking about? point being that I want to know how they form and does it have to do with convection lol
DeleteThat's true I didn't even think about that.
DeleteI agree with you joceline and also with you lorena. The weather in houston is crazy because all the different kinds of weather we have change in form of convection....In one Hour it changes from cold and rainy to hot and the next hour it changes from Hot and sunny to cold and windy again. LOLOLOL
DeleteAn example of convection may be in the mornings when you make coffee and there is a pot of water heating on a stove. Heated water rises to the top of the pot. Cooler water sinks to take its place.
ReplyDeleteThat is true... same with the coffee maker.
DeleteEvery morning i observe radiation when my straighter gives off heat. It starts off with the electrical heat to heat the iron, but then gives off the thermal heat into the air around it
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought of that one!
Deletevery observant of you, then the actual straightening of the hair uses conduction heat transfer.
DeleteEvery morning I make coffee. As I pour the boiling water into my ceramic cup I quickly begin to notice that the cup gets super hot. This heat transfer is best known as conduction.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever burned yourself?
Deleteyuppies that happens when my dad makes his coffee too!
DeleteToday my family was doing Barbecue and it reminded me of the lesson of convection, conduction, and radiation. The griller was conducting heat that makes it really hot if you touch by accident, and also convection of the griller's hot gas accumulates when you close the top.
ReplyDeleteWas The Barbecue Good???
DeleteI hate bar b que sauce
DeleteAll the trash we have we put it in the barrels in the back and set them on fire and you can feel the energy in the air which is convection.
ReplyDeleteI hate having to do that.it smells gross and hard to put out
DeleteWhen I heat up my food in the microwave it is radiation. The microwave transfers heat to the food to warm it up.
ReplyDeleteYeah all I use is the microwave to cook my food.
DeleteEvery night i sleep by my fan so i can push the hot air away and replace it with a lower temperture of air to keep me cool.Thats Conduction.
ReplyDeleteWhen it's really hot out side and you step on the concrete bare foot it is way hotter then the grass. This is radiation because heat is being transfered through the Sun's rays.
ReplyDeleteWhen you go for a solar tan energy leaves the skin through radiation heat transfer into the atmosphere.
ReplyDeletewhenever I blow dry my hair it uses electric to heat energy. then the air around me gets hot which is known as thermal heat.
ReplyDeleteThe light bulb in my Room uses electricity to produce lighting around my room. Its electric energy then turns into thermal energy increasing the temperature in my room. This is known as convection.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I put on jewelry on I warm it up after a while being against my warm body.
