Temperature

contrasting an analog and digital device. In this case the mercury thermometer and digital thermometer will be compared. The thermometer is a very useful tool used to measure temperature. Without the thermometer we wouldn 't know the temperature outside, tell if our food has been cooked properly, determine if our temperature is to high or to low. There are many applications for the thermometer. In this report the analog version of the thermometer will be carefully examined and explained, the…

thermometric error Consider a typical application such as the measurement of surface temperature by a surface mounted thermocouple as shown in Figure 5.9 (a). Figure 5. 9 : (a) Surface mounted thermocouple in Example 5. 1 (b) Thermal resistance network model Heat loss from the thermocouple is modeled as shown above by discussion leading to Equation 5.3. Thermocouple attached to the surface of a massive solid whose temperature we would like to measure. Excepting where the thermocouple has…

Therefore, if these responses and behavioral mechanisms such as seeking shade in the heat, are able to restore the balance in the body temperature, it is detected by the thermoreceptors and relayed back to the thermoregulatory centre. But in a prolonged exposure to high environmental temperature, body temperature cannot be restored by negative feedback control because the mechanisms of homeostasis become over-whelmed, then the normal biochemical and physiological balance in the body is lost.…

environments. The three balloons will be placed in a room temperature, cold temperature, and hot temperature environment. The room temperature location will be at about 78° Fahrenheit. This will take place in my closet. The balloon that is going in the cold environment will go in my freezer. The freezer will be set around 32o Fahrenheit. The last location will be in my bedroom on the top floor with the heat on. This is for the hot environment. The temperature will be at about 100° Fahrenheit. By…

In this experiment, the effect of temperature on reaction rate of enzyme will be studied. Peroxidase will be used as test enzyme and the variable to be studied is temperature (°C). At first, the experiment will be carried out at room temperature of 20°C. The temperature of the experimental setup will then be increased by keeping the reactants in a water bath at a temperature of 50°C. The enzyme catalysed reaction rate will also be studied at a lower temperature by placing the reactants in an ice…

When sea levels and temperatures rise as a result of climate change, how will plants react? In this experiment, the growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants (WFPs) will be tested when temperature and waterlogging are added to twelve WFP chambers. The question that will be attempted to answer is: How do factors of climate change—water and temperature stress—affect the growth of WFPs? Waterlogging is the act of adding too much water and temperature stress is extreme temperatures. This question is being…

Fahrenheit, commonly known as a unit of measurement for temperature which is regarded as an official scale in the modern society of the United States and other Caribbean countries. It is the first standardised temperatures scale which was adapted globally in the seventeenth century. This great invention is named after a German science instrument maker, Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686- 1736). His invention has revolutionised the design of thermometer in 1724, when he conducted the thermometer with…

have different jobs that work to protect, prevents water loss, regulates metabolism and temperature, absorption and also acts as a sensory receptor. For instance the epidermis protects the body from injury and trauma. The skin also protects from chemicals and toxins even from solar radiation. When its come to water loss or water gain the epidermis is water resistant. The way the body regulates body temperature is through the blood vessels, which are in the dermis of the skin. In…

sometimes expand or contract, depending the temperature and humidity of the environment that they are located in. People see it every day. It is the same reason that power lines seem to sag less in the winter, and why a tight jar lid is much easier to remove when hot water is ran over it. This very same effect can be seen in guitars, particularly with their tuning. A guitarist will often find that when he or she leaves a guitar in places of varying temperatures that the guitar’s tuning is…

the students are presented with a table with data on altitude and temperature gathered by a weather balloon. The data is in the first column shows the data of the altitude in feet, and the second data shows the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Part A asked the students to pretend that they are making a comparable metric table of the data with the same variables. The altitude need to be change into kilometer and the temperature is measured in degree Celsius, what is needed to do to create…
