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 ...

Heat transfer is the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat. Temperature and the flow of heat are the basic principles of heat transfer. The amount of ...

Soaring birds have a mysterious ability to find thermals or updrafts, a vertical upward movement of air often caused by convection. Without convection, the mean surface air temperature on our planet ...

The colder the outside temperature or the stronger the wind, the greater the amount of heat lost. There are several ways to help reduce heat loss from your home, making it more comfortable and ...

Staying comfy in the cold, whether you're hiking urban canyons or hip deep in backcountry snow, requires paying attention to the science of heat transfer. Loren Greenway, CEO of the Wilderness Medical ...

The possible causes of convection in the Earth's mantle are examined, and it is concluded that radiogenic heating together with thermal conduction is most likely to provide the driving force for any ...

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 ...
