Heat Loss Investigation
Introduction ============
In this investigation I will investigate heat loss and heat transfer in different materials and I will also investigate which materials are the best insulators. A material that prevents this heat loss is called an insulator and this helps to keep the object that is being insulated warmer for, longer. Heat is generally transferred in three different methods: -
- Conduction
- Convection
- Radiation
Conduction is energy transferred from the hotter part of a solid to the colder part of conduction. It is transferred by the particles in the material the particles in the hot part are vibrating more. These vibrations are

The particles that escape are those with higher-than-average energy - otherwise they would not have enough energy to escape. Because the liquid loses its higher energy particles, the liquid that is left has less energy, so it becomes cooler.
I will test two types of insulation to see which is the best at preventing heat loss I will use black card, and tin foil to insulate the beaker filled with water. I will also do this twice one in a small beaker and once in a larger beaker. I will investigate also if I use more water will this affect the heat loss. If I use more water will this hold insulate the water more? So overall I will have four sets of results.
Factors of the experiment =========================
In this experiment there are many different factors that could affect my experiment and the results I achieve, the factors are:
The amount of water used in each experiment - If I use a large of amount of water this will mean that the water will cool down slower and therefore stay warmer for longer. So the more water I use the longer the water will stay warm, so if I use a small amount of water it will cool down quick.
Type of Insulation I will use - This will change the amount of heat loss significantly. Different types of material insulate differently depending on how efficiently the material
Next, I poured distilled water just below the 250ml mark on the neck of the volumetric flask.
14. The experiment was repeated with each water temperature until all tests had been conclusively completed.
Abstract: This experiment introduced the student to lab techniques and measurements. It started with measuring length. An example of this would be the length of a nickel, which is 2cm. The next part of the experiment was measuring temperature. I found that water boils around 95ºC at 6600ft. Ice also has a significant effect on the temperature of water from the tap. Ice dropped the temperature about 15ºC. Volumetric measurements were the basis of the 3rd part of the experiment. It was displayed during this experiment that a pipet holds about 4mL and that there are approximately 27 drops/mL from a short stem pipet. Part 4 introduced the student to measuring
1. Fill up a 200ml beaker with tap water and then pour it into the designated jar
b. Place crushed ice in the beaker so the water level is just below the top of the
When I designed multiple tests which were using the coca cola bottle with ⅓ (667 milliliters)which was for the first test and a Mountain Dew bottle for the second trial which was ¼ (500 milliliters). The second day we tested the group designed tests of ⅓ (667 milliliters) and ½ (1000 milliliters). The final test we did on the third day was ⅓ (667 milliliters) and ½ (1000 milliliters). After all three days of testing the group decided that ⅓ (667 milliliters) and a round cylinder bottle worked the best. Overall all of our tests were fair enough since they all had accurate results and we had good data recorded. The only difference between the ⅓ bottle and ½ bottle was that is that the ⅓ bottle went higher but came down faster than the ½ bottle. The Final Recommendation is to use a round cylinder bottle and ⅓ full of water (667 milliliters) because it goes the highest and it goes straight up since it has the perfect water
1) Separate the solid from the liquid in the beaker by decanting the liquid. Ask your instructor to demonstrate the correct procedure.
A 250 mL beaker was filled halfway with water to be used a soaking beaker for the wooden splints. 2. A 400 mL beaker was filled halfway with water to be used as a waste beaker for the wooden splints. 3. The Bunsen burner was lit.
It’s predicted that when adding the chemical substance into the water, energy will be released or absorbed, this will be observed by a temperature change, therefore, there would be an exothermic or endothermic reaction.
Dispense .5 mL water into the already weighed conical vial, replace cap and face insert on its down side.
Houses use insulation to prevent heat loss in winter and prevent over heating in summer. People put insulation in between their roofs. This is often used when the roof in metal or tin which attracts heat and has makes houses hotter. This insulation stop heat from being able to transfer into the house making it hot in summer. This insulation also prevents heat from escaping the house in winter keeping the house warm. Houses also use glass which is more expensive but more efficient. This glass is made with two panels are vacuumed meaning that all of the air is sucked out between them and this all so prevents the heat transfer keeping the house cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Hotter objects lose heat by emitting infrared radiation. Colder objects emit less infrared radiation than hotter objects.
Their body has to adjust to the demanding work as well as the climatic conditions. Gardening is considered a level 3 or heavy work category. The above WGBT is determined to be 24.10C. This indicates that the work/rest ratio should be around 75%:25% i.e a rest break of 15 minutes or more every hour considering the nature of work.
The earth isn't, obviously, the straightforward strong ball we have accepted up until this point. It is encompassed by a skeletal coating of air, expected to remember by severity and comprising totally of nitrogen and oxygen. The significant constituents are basically straightforward to equally the approaching sun powered emission and the infrared emission transmitted upward from the world's surface. There are likewise various minor constituents, particularly water vapor and carbon dioxide, which is to a great extent straightforward to the approaching sunlight based radiation, however unequivocally retains the infrared radiation produced starting from the earliest stage. In regards to Oxlade "The largest is water vapor, which isn't all
