Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas. As this happens, cooler liquid or gas takes the place of the warmer areas which have risen higher. This cycle results in a continous circulation pattern and heat is transfered to cooler

The heat obtained when a known mass of alcohol or paraffin wax burns will be used to warm a measured volume of water. Enthalpy change can be defined as the amount of heat released or absorbed when a chemical reaction occurs at constant pressure. In an exothermic reaction, such as the case in this experiment, the following reaction takes place: H = H(products) - H(reactants) = negative (-ve) Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature change is usually expressed, where c is the specific heat. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered, because heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature.
There was a low efficiency rate for this experiment; energy was most likely wasted into the surrounding environment when the burner was alight. Possible ways to improve this experiment would be to possibly do the experiment in a more enclosed space, so as to disallow any heat escaping into the surrounding atmosphere. A fume cupboard would be suitable (when it is not turned on) as there is less movement in the air to move the energy from its intended target. The thermal energy was not only going into the water, but the can of the calorimeter became hot too, meaning that the thermal energy was transferred into the metal surrounding the water, and not just the
To do this, the metal will be heated, and then put into water to determine the heat transferred. The heat that is transferred from the metal to the water is measured using the equation: Eq. 2 q(water) = -q(metal) The heat of water is positive because it was initially cold, and because the hot metal was being added to it, it gained heat. The heat of the unknown metal is negative because of the loss of heat it is experiencing when submerged in cold water. The specific heat constant for water, 4.184 J/g C, is used for this equation.
By keeping you warm, the jacket protects you from hypothermia. The weight of the jacket depends on what type of expedition you are going; it could be light, middle or heavy. Without the outer jacket you will be vulnerable to get wet, to lose your body temperature and to catch cold or hypothermia which is dangerous and can kill you. Fleece – this is the middle layer of your clothing. It keeps you warm, it is perfect for outwear and keeps your body heat.
when the body is too hot ie the blood vessels leading to the skin capillaries dilate, known as vasodilation. Vasodilation allows lots of blood to flow near the surface and heat is lost through the skin by connection and radiation. The hairs of the body lie
The liquid evaporates and it carries out heat from the skin and lowers your body temperature. -The Epidermis Layer The Epidermis layer of your skin is the outer layer. Its specialized cells act as a physical and biological barrier. This protects you from pollen and dust. The Stratum layers of the Epidermis provide a protective barrier that prevents foreign and infectious substances from entering your body.
Negative feedback is where various receptors and effectors cause a reaction to ensure certain conditions remain the same. It is an automatic, corrective mechanism within the body. An example of negative feedback is temperature control. If the blood temperature rises, a ‘heat gain’ centre in the brain sends nerve impulses to the skin, which causes vasodilation and sweating, which will cool down the blood. If the blood temperature falls, it stimulates a ‘heat loss’ centre in the brain which sends impulse to the skin, causing vasoconstriction and the cessation of sweating.
The tails can be up to approximately seventeen carbon atoms long giving rise to the molecule’s very hydrophobic (water hating) properties. This hydrophobic nature makes them insoluble and so good candidates for storage functions. Lipids have a lower density than water which also makes them good thermal insulators. Many animals have a thin layer of saturated fats under the skin which helps to minimise heat loss through radiation. This means that they contribute to an animal’s ability to maintain its body temperature by homeostasis.
