Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of fluids.
Explanation:
Convection is one of the three forms of heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation) that transports heat between zones with different temperatures. Convection itself is the transport of heat through the movement of fluid. For example, when heating water in a saucepan, the water in contact with the base of the pan rises, while the water from the surface descends and occupies the place left by the hot one.
Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of fluid particles.
Explanation:
Transfer of heat energy by the movement of fluid particles is called convection. Convection takes place in liquids and gases due to kinetic energy. When heat is provided to liquids and gases they expand and move faster.
Molecules with higher kinetic energy become less dense and rise up to the surface of liquid, whereas molecules with lower energy move towards the bottom. This up and down movement of molecules causes convection currents in fluids.
RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance. To determine the amount needed of a certain adult per day, we simply multiply the mass of the adult to the value of RDA. For this case, we do as follows:
Daily requirement = 12 mg/kg ( 78 kg ) = 936 mg of lysine = 936000 g
In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:
If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:
