Editor’s note: The KOIN 6 Weather team is presenting weather and science lessons to help serve our teachers and students. Click here for more lessons. PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – We’re heating up the ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

When room-temperature washers are placed in hot water, the temperature of the washers increases and the temperature of the water decreases. Energy from the water is transferred to the washers. When ...

The atoms move, causing other atoms to wobble. At higher temperatures, heat conduction through propagation of these vibrations is usually the decisive effect. But neither the electrons nor the lattice ...

Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

ABSTRACT Soil heat transfer is complex, and conduction-alone models may not always perform well in estimating soil apparent thermal diffusivity. Soil apparent thermal diffusivity is related to soil ...

Imagine pouring a cup of hot coffee into a mug. You would think that the heat conducted into the cup would eventually be transferred to your hands as well. Such a common daily experience dates back ...
