    out of bed just to dread going to school, heating up left overs, and even boiling some water. Energy cannot be destroyed or created, only passed from one object to another. A great example of energy is the transfer of heat. An ice cube sitting in the hand of a person can show energy at work. Heat from the hand causes the cube to melt and change forms into liquids. To understand energy a little more, understanding work is important. Work is equal to force multiplied by distance that was applied…

    that diverts from a null expectation, defined by random use of thermal microclimates and passive exchange of heat with the environment (Akin, 2011; Kemp & Krockenberger, 2002;). In Biomimicry, through studying thermoregulation, human beings can apply nature’s techniques to architecture when designing buildings. Present temperature systems are using a lot of energy, especially to control heat and cooling loads. (Carpi 2010). Thermoregulatory mechanisms include passive thermoregulation and…

    minimizing heat loss via the mechanisms of conduction, convection and radiation. The thermos design must be freestanding and effective against any means of heat loss to the surroundings. This data is then compared to a control, which is a cup of hot water in a polystyrene cup without any sort of insulation and protection against heat transfer to determine the effectiveness of the thermos in regards to heat loss via conduction, convection and radiation. Background Physics: Conduction: Transfer…

    hot water. By seeing this in each test I was able to see how the heat that was applied to the water allowed for the molecules to move rapidly and need more space, much like when water prior to boiling on atop of a stove. Heat is applied and the water molecules start to move around causing the water to ripple as well as evaporate. With that being said, I was able to prove, that my hypothesis was true by showing that the effect of heat (energy) added the water molecules speed up casing temperature…
